Hartman missed Game 2 due to a lower-body injury and will be a game-time decision for Game 3 Friday in Minnesota. The 28-year-old scored the game-winning goal in overtime of Game 1 after getting four SOG, two PIms and a +1 plus/minus through 25:31 TOI in the first game.
Hartman interfered with Winnipeg's Nikolaj Ehlers on April 11th ensuing in a massive scrum and has been suspended one game by the Department of Player Safety. The 28-year-old has 15 goals, 22 assists, 149 SOG, 90 PIMs and a +7 plus/minus through 59 games prior to the suspension.
Hartman was a healthy scratch in the Wild's previous game but, as expected, will draw back into the Wilds' lineup Saturday as they take on Buffalo. The 28-year-old has five goals, nine assists, 64 SOG, 47 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 25 games played.
Hartman has five goals, nine assists, 64 SOG, 47 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus but will be a surprisingly healthy scratch Thursday vs. the Penguins after a few costly turnovers in the Wilds' previous game. The 28-year-old is just a year removed from a 34 goals, 31-assist season in 2021-22.
Hartman left Sunday's game in Chicago with an apparent shoulder injury after a fight in the second period. The 28-year-old has five points (1G/4A) in nine games to start the year after posting a career-high 34 goals and 65 points in 2021-22.
Hartman is dealing with a non-COVID illness and missed Thursday's practice, but will play tonight in Chicago. Hartman comes in with nine points (3G / 6A) in his last 10 games.
Hartman has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury but is set to return to the lineup on Friday. Hartman, who has three goals and six assists in 19 games this season, will centre the third line with Zach Parise and Kevin Fiala on his wings.
Smith appeared in just one game during his call-up and cleared waivers late last week. He heads back to the AHL to make room for the arrival of Michael Frolik.
Smith has been with the Rochester Americans on an AHL contract but gets an NHL deal after picking up four points (1G / 3A) and 27 PIMS in 21 games this season. The 6-foot-2, 217 lbs. winger has had 100-plus PIMS in back-to-back seasons and brings some ruggedness to the list of potential call-ups.
Hartman is a pending RFA, who split last year between the Predators and Flyers. Overall, he had 12 goals and 14 assists (26 points) in 83 games. Hartman should be an offensive upgrade in the Stars’ bottom-6.
Hartman was acquired from the Predators in the Wayne Simmonds deal on Monday and is expected to slide in for Simmonds on the third line on Tuesday.
Hartman was acquired for a first and fourth-round picks at least year’s deadline but didn’t have the same effectiveness in the Predators bottom-6 as he did in Chicago. Hartman has a nice blend of physicality and offence that should help replace losing Simmonds on the Flyers’ third-line. This trade allows Philadelphia to continue to fight for a playoff spot without losing Simmonds for nothing.
Hartman was moved to IR retroactively to September 21, so he is eligible to come off of IR for tonight’s season opener. Hartman had 11 goals and 20 assists (31 points) in 78 games between the Blackhawks and Predators last year and will start the season on Nashville’s fourth line.
