Won't play versus Flames Harkins (upper body) will not be in the lineup to face Calgary on Thursday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Harkins is currently mired in a 26-game goal drought during which he registered a mere 24 shots while chipping in five helpers. Given his lack of offensive upside, few fantasy managers figure to be impacted by the 28-year-old center's potential absence. Nathan Gaucher could step into a fourth-line role in Harkins' absence.

Exits Tuesday's game Harkins (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Canucks.

Impact Harkins took just three shifts in this contest prior to his injury. If he can't play Thursday versus the Flames, Frank Vatrano or Ross Johnston will replace him in the lineup.

Provides two assists in win Harkins logged two assists in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Impact This performance ended a 12-game slump for Harkins. He was scratched three times in that span, and he'll have to fend off Ryan Strome for playing time moving forward. Harkins is at three goals, five points, 21 shots on net, 86 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 31 outings this season. He continues to primarily play in a bottom-six role when in the lineup.

Scores in overtime loss Wednesday Harkins scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Lightning.

Impact Harkins has played in three of the last four games and could see an uptick in playing time while Frank Vatrano (shoulder) is sidelined. The 28-year-old Harkins can be expected to stay on the fourth line, giving him minimal fantasy upside. He's scored three goals on 13 shots with 55 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across 18 outings this season.

Pots goal in win Harkins scored a goal, added two PIM, levied four hits and blocked four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Bruins.

Impact Harkins ended a six-game slump with the tally at 2:29 of the first period, which opened the scoring. The 28-year-old has gotten an extended look on the fourth line while Mikael Granlund (lower body) and Ryan Poehling (upper body) are out.

Tacks on goal Harkins scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Panthers.

Impact This was Harkins' third appearance in the last four games. He missed nearly three weeks to begin the season due to an upper-body injury, but he's become a regular in the lineup due to the absences of Mikael Granlund (lower body) and Ryan Strome (upper body). Harkins has registered four shots on net, 11 hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over three outings while playing on the fourth line.

Off injured reserve Harkins (upper body) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Although Harkins is now available, he's a healthy scratch for Saturday's clash against Tampa Bay. He hasn't played yet this season, but he did get into 62 outings with Anaheim in 2024-25, recording two goals, six points, 21 PIM and 136 hits.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Officially on injured reserve Harkins (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Harkins' move to IR is simply a formality, as he is expected to be out until late November at a minimum. Once healthy, he should be able to enter the mix for a fourth-line spot, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him get waived or end up as a healthy scratch.

OCTOBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss next eight weeks Harkins (upper body) is expected to be unavailable for about eight weeks, the Ducks announced Saturday.

Impact Harkins had two goals, six points, 21 PIM and 136 hits in 62 regular-season appearances with Anaheim in 2024-25. When he's healthy, Harkins might serve in a bottom-six capacity, but it's also possible that he'll spend time in the minors.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Being re-evaluated Harkins (upper body) is expected to be re-evaluated Wednesday night to get another opinion on his injury, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Impact Head coach Joel Quenneville initially wasn't optimistic about Harkins' status after the injury was sustained Sunday, but Quenneville suggested Wednesday that it might "not be as bad as we originally thought, but we'll see." The 28-year-old Harkins had two goals, six points, 21 PIM and 136 hits in 62 appearances with Anaheim last year.

Could have serious injury Harkins exited Sunday's preseason outing versus the Kings with an upper-body injury, and head coach Joel Quenneville said after the game that he isn't optimistic about the forward'...

Impact Harkins might be set to miss substantial time going forward, as he was spotted leaving the arena with his right arm in a sling, per Lee. Quenneville said the club will know more about Harkins' injury Monday. The 28-year-old registered two goals, six points and 136 hits over 62 appearances in his first season with the Ducks in 2024-25.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Drought continues Wednesday Harkins' point drought is up to 23 games after he was held scoreless in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Impact Harkins has gotten a fair amount of time on the fourth line even late in the season. He was scratched versus the Oilers on Monday, but that was just his second trip to the press box since the start of March -- Brett Leason and Nikita Nesterenko have been scratched more frequently of late. However, Harkins is stuck on six points through 59 outings this season while adding 48 shots on net, 131 hits and a minus-13 rating. He'll likely end 2024-25 in a part-time role.

Holding onto fourth-line role Harkins' point drought reached nine games in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

Impact While Harkins isn't scoring, he's been in the lineup for six straight contests after being scratched four times in February. The 27-year-old is holding onto a fourth-line role over Ross Johnston for now, though Harkins is likely to face more pressure for ice time once Robby Fabbri (upper body) returns. Harkins has just six points with 34 shots on net, 102 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 45 appearances this season. It's been than his four-point showing over 45 contests with the Penguins last year, but it's far from enough to intrigue fantasy managers.

Rare two-point game Harkins scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Harkins had to settle for the secondary helper on Pavel Mintyukov's opening tally after creating some chaos in front of the net. Harkins was later rewarded with a goal of his own midway through the second period, which stood as the game-winner. The 27-year-old forward doesn't typically earn many points -- this was his first multi-point effort since May 1, 2022. In 2024-25, the fourth-line forward has six points, 29 shots on net, 85 hits and a minus-6 rating over 36 outings.

First goal of season Sunday Harkins scored a goal while recording two shots, three hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Harkins found the twine for the first time in the 2024-25 campaign, and it was also the first time he cracked the scoresheet since Dec. 22, when he delivered an assist in a 5-4 win over Utah. He has four points in 30 games, though, so he's not much of a fantasy asset in most formats outside of leagues that reward physicality (77 hits, 22 blocked shots).
