Conor Sheary - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Summoned from minors Sheary was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Saturday, according to Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

Impact Sheary played three games at the NHL level earlier in the season, before he was waived Oct. 23. He had three goals and seven points in 11 games with AHL Syracuse before his recall. The Lightning may need an extra forward as Mitchell Chaffee (undisclosed) has missed the last two games.

Waived Wednesday Sheary was waived by Tampa Bay on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Sheary dressed in three of the Lightning's opening six games, recording no points or shots while averaging 11:01 of ice time across those three appearances. If he goes unclaimed -- which seems likely given his $2 million annual cap hit through 2025-26 -- he will probably be reassigned to AHL Syracuse.

Conor Sheary seeks to rebound from tough 1st season with Lightning After an injury-plagued debut, the winger is expected to enter his second season in Tampa Bay in a top-six forward role.

First points in seven games Sheary scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Senators.

Impact He scored on a backhand from between the circles off a slick pass from Nikita Kucherov. The points were Sheary's first in his last seven games. In that span, he had just even shots and six PIM, which makes Sheary fine to watch, but impossible to count on for fantasy. He has 15 points, including four goals, in 54 games this season.

Snaps major goal drought in loss Sheary had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 loss to Calgary on Thursday.

Impact Sheary tied the game 1-1 in the first period when he tapped in a backdoor pass. It was his first goal in 36 games (Nov. 2), a span where he managed just eight assists. The 31-year-old Sheary is mired on a lower line in Tampa Bay and isn't really a fantasy asset. Nice night, though.

Expected to play Tuesday Sheary (hand) is expected to be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Jets.

Impact The Lightning have a shortage of defensemen with Mikhail Sergachev (lower body), Haydn Fleury (hand) and Erik Cernak (upper body) all sidelined, but they won't have to play short. Sheary was considered a game-time decision, and with 13 forwards dressing for the contest, his ice time may be even more limited than usual -- he's averaged just 10:41 per game this season.

JANUARY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Sheary (hand) will be a game-time call versus the Winnipeg on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact The Lightning are dealing with a bunch of injuries among their defensemen, so if Sheary is able to play, the team may be forced to roll with 13 forwards and five blueliners Tuesday. If he's not able to play, Tampa Bay may just have to play a player short against the Jets. Either way, confirmation on Sheary's status should surface once the Bolts take the ice for pregame warmups.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Sheary (hand) won't play Sunday versus the Canadiens, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Sheary was injured Saturday versus the Rangers, and the results of further tests have not yet been revealed. Austin Watson will play on the third line with Mikey Eyssimont moving down to the fourth line for Sunday's contest. The Lightning next play Tuesday versus the Jets to begin a three-game road trip.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Needs further evaluation Sheary will be evaluated for a hand or finger injury Sunday after leaving Saturday's game versus the Rangers in the second period, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.

Impact Sheary tried to play through the injury initially, but he couldn't finish the contest. If he can't play Sunday versus the Canadiens, Austin Watson will likely check back into the lineup on the fourth line.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated off LTIR Sheary (upper body) was removed from the long-term injured reserve list Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Sheary has a goal and three points in 13 contests with Tampa Bay this season. Now that he's activated, Sheary might serve in a bottom-six capacity Thursday versus Edmonton. Mitchell Chaffee, who logged 6:56 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Vancouver, was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Thursday, so there's an opening for Sheary in the lineup.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to LTIR Sheary (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

Impact The Lightning used the cap space to bring up defenseman Philippe Myers and forward Mitchell Chaffee from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday. Tampa Bay has a flu bug circulating through the team, so reinforcements were deemed to be necessary. Sheary practiced Monday and appears to be nearing a return to the lineup. He is eligible to be activated whenever he is ready to play.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return Per coach Jon Cooper, Sheary (upper body) is likely to return during the Lightning's trip out West which begins Dec. 9, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Impact Sheary was injured Nov. 7 versus Montreal and has missed the last 10 games. Sheary was off to a slow offensive start before his injury, scoring once while adding a pair of assists in 13 games.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On IR Sheary (upper body) was placed on the injured reserve list Wednesday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

Impact Sheary sustained the injury during Tuesday's 5-3 win over Montreal. He has a goal and three points in 13 contests this season. The 31-year-old will be eligible to be activated off injured reserve in time for Tampa Bay's contest against Chicago on Nov. 16. In the meantime, Waltteri Merela was called up from AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits early Tuesday Sheary appeared to get hurt after he was hit with a shot on his first shift in Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Impact Sheary stayed on the bench in the first period but didn't come out for the second. Without an official update from the Lightning, there's no telling how significant the injury is. If Sheary can't play Thursday versus the Blackhawks, Austin Watson will likely rejoin the lineup.

NOVEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good start in new city Sheary skated on a line with Brandon Hagel and Anthony Cirelli in Monday's preseason loss to Carolina. He scored a goal.

Impact Sheary is a capable winger when slotted beside the right line mates, and at first glance, it appears as though he has found a good match. Together, the trio had three scoring chances to just one against. And they generated 15 shot attempts while surrendering only six. If Sheary sticks on line two, it would mean he would likely skate with Cirelli and Steven Stamkos. In that situation, he could be a late round gem.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Inks three-year deal with Tampa Bay Sheary signed a three-year, $6 million contract with the Lightning on Saturday.

Impact Sheary notched 15 goals, 37 points and 154 shots on net in 82 games with Washington last season. He could be a good fit on the third line of Tampa Bay, but he could be utilized up and down the lineup in 2023-24.

JULY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Snags helper in win Sheary recorded an assist in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Islanders.

Impact Sheary has helpers in back-to-back games, giving him six points in his previous nine outings. While the Caps won't be making the playoffs, the 30-year-old winger should be capable of offering decent fantasy value in Washington's final two contests. The strong end to the campaign should help Sheary secure a new contract in the offseason, though whether he returns to the Caps remains to be seen.

Pots goal Tuesday Sheary registered a goal while logging 13:30 of ice time during Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact The goal snapped a seven-game point drought for Sheary, who has run remarkably cold since a hot start to the season with only two goals and six points in 33 games since the calendar rolled into 2023. The 30-year-old has yet to be scratched from the lineup but without any sustained offensive production or exposure to top-six minutes, possesses negligble fantasy value at this point.

Dishes helper Sheary tallied an assist and added four shots during Saturday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact The helper snapped an eleven-game point drought for Sheary, who had been rumored to be on the trade block prior to Friday's trade deadline. The 30-year-old had been a valuable contributor when the Capitals were struggling earlier in the season, but has posted just one goal and five points in 25 games since the start of 2023 and isn't much of a fantasy asset at this point unless he can start generating offense more consistently.
