Claesson has bounced around the NHL in recent years, playing 112 games for five teams over the last four years. The Lightning need some cheap, depth contracts, so they re-signed Claesson to be a seventh/eighth defenseman on their roster.
Claesson has only appeared in four NHL games this season but provides additional depth for the Lightning. Claesson will have to battle for playing time with Luke Schenn, Ben Thomas and Cal Foote.
Claesson was banged up in Saturday's win in New York and will not play tonight vs. the Penguins. With Claesson out, Matt Tennyson was recalled from Binghamton (AHL) and will replace him tonight.
Claesson signed on with the Hurricanes in September and has spent the entire 2020 season in the AHL. In 47 games with Charlotte the 27-year-old picked up three goals with 16 assists (19 points) and will likely report to Binghamton (AHL).
Claesson continues to bounce around the NHL. After spending his first three years in Ottawa, Claesson was with the Rangers in 2019 and now signs on with the Hurricanes. Carolina possesses one of the deepest bluelines in the entire NHL so Claesson likely won’t sniff the big leagues this season.
Claesson has been in the lineup for the last two games but will be replaced by John Gilmour in the lineup on Wednesday.
Claesson was banged up against the Islanders on Saturday and missed Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury that should keep him out until at least early-February. This should allow Tony DeAngelo to remain in the Rangers lineup permanently moving forward.
Claesson suffered an upper-body injury against the Islanders on Saturday and will not be available for Sunday’s game in Columbus. Claesson will have an MRI done, which suggests that the injury could be fairly long-term.
Claesson has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but is expected to replace Tony DeAngelo on Thursday. Claesson has just four points (2G / 2A) in 24 games this season.
Claesson was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Tony DeAngelo on Wednesday. Claesson, who has two goals and one assist in 22 games, is expected to be paired with Kevin Shattenkirk.
Claesson has been in the lineup for eight straight games but played just 13:51 TOI on Saturday. Claesson will be replaced by Tony DeAngelo vs. the Senators.
Claesson had one assist but played just 11:28 TOI in last night’s win in Florida. Claesson has been inconsistent this season but tonight’s scratching is more about getting Erik Burgdoefer a game.
The Senators are going to be without a handful of forwards tonight so Max McCormick has been recalled to serve as their 11th forward and Claesson will dress as a seventh defenseman. Claesson has been out for the last three games and has just one goal and one assist in 38 games this season.
Claesson has been a healthy scratch for the last two games and four of the last five but he will replace Johnny Oduya (lower-body) tonight vs. the Blackhawks. He has just one goal and one assist in 32 games this season so he bring nothing to the table in terms of fantasy hockey.
The Senators want more size in the lineup so Claesson will sit in favour of Ben Harpur.
