Boyle, Dan

Boyle is still approximately 3-5 weeks away from returning to the Lightning lineup, reports the St. Petersburg Times. He is recovering from wrist surgery and has begun rehabbing with light activities on the ice. Keep Boyle on your radar as he has the potential to be a top-10 defender upon his eventual return.

Boyle returned to the Lightning lineup on Monday after missing most of pre-season and all of the regular season with severed tendons in his wrist, reports the AP. He only saw 12 minutes of icetime but will surely need some games to get back up to speed. Fantasy leaguers should stay patient and wait for the right moment to activate him as a healthy Boyle is one of the league's premier point-producers from the blueline.

Boyle, out with a wrist injury, took part in some real drills, handling the puck, taking passes and even taking some limited shots, reports the Tampa Tribune blog. While Lightning management hasn't put a timetable on his return, the speculation is that he should be back within two weeks. Keep him stashed away on your bench or injured reserve slot and get ready to activate him soon as a healthy Boyle is an easy top-10 fantasy defenseman.
