Luke Schenn News

Schenn had to sit out the Lightning's season opener due to salary cap reasons but will play Friday vs. the Blackhawks. The Lightning did not announce who he will replace but it will most likely be rookie Cal Foote.

Schenn served as a No.7 defenseman in Tampa Bay for most of the year but appeared in 25 regular season and 11 postseason games to get his name on the Stanley Cup. With both Jan Rutta and Kevin Shattenkirk likely moving on, there's a chance that Schenn could be a third-pairing defenseman in 2021.

Schenn will make his Canucks debut after they tried Erik Gudbranson to the Penguins. Schenn has put up solid numbers in the AHL (1G / 4A in seven games) but has just 15 points (2G / 13A) in his last 150 NHL games.

Schenn played in eight games with the Ducks earlier this season but has been in the AHL since being traded to the Canucks. Since the trade, Schenn, who is not known for his offence, has five points (1G / 4A) in seven games. He should make his Canucks debut on the weekend with both Chris Tanev and Alexander Edler out.

Schenn has appeared in just eight games with the Ducks this season and heads to Vancouver where he will likely serve as an extra defenseman.

Schenn, 26, started the 2015-16 season in Philadelphia before being traded to Los Angeles in the Vincent Lecavalier deal. Schenn finished the season with four goals and 12 assists (16 points) in 72 games. Schenn adds depth to the Coyotes’ blueline, where he will likely battle with Kevin Connauton for the last spot in the opening night lineup.

Schenn has just five points (2G / 3A) in 29 games with the Flyers this season. The 26-year-old has never been known for his offence, registering a career-high of 22 points in 2010-11 and 2011-12. He should slot in on the Kings’ third pair.

Schenn has been a healthy scratch for the last three games, but he will be reinserted into the lineup tonight in Boston. He will replace Brandon Manning, who struggled on Tuesday vs. the Stars. Schenn has zero points, one shot on goal a and a minus-2 rating in two games.

Schenn was a minus-3 in the Flyers 7-1 blowout loss to the Panthers on Saturday, so it is no surprise to see him come out tonight. He will be replaced by Radko Gudas, who will be making his Flyers debut.

Schenn has missed the last three games and now it appears he will miss the remaining six as well. Schenn finishes the season with 14 points (3G / 11A) in 58 games this season.

As expected, Schenn will return after a brief one game absence. He will replace Carlo Colaiacovo in the lineup tonight in Columbus. Schenn has just eight points (2G / 6A) in 43 games this season.
