Vernon Fiddler (lower body) is being listed as day-to-day by the Dallas Stars.

The forward didn't return to the game. Fiddler, who played only 1:21, has only six points in 32 games this season.
Mar 29 - 9:33 PM

Vernon Fiddler had a goal, but it wasn't enough in the Dallas Stars' 2-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night.

Fiddler's goal was only his eighth of the season, but it came at 7:44 of the third period with the Stars down by two, so it gave them a legitimate chance to at least record a point with another one. Unfortunately, Dallas only mustered eight shots in the final frame. Eric Nystrom and Kari Lehtonen had the assists on the goal.

Vern Fiddler was the best Dallas player in the Stars' 2-1 loss to Colorado Saturday.

He scored his team's only goal, won nine of 14 faceoffs and was selected as the game's second star. That said, Fiddler is a much better hockey player than fantasy one.

Vernon Fiddler scored his sixth goal of the season in a 2-1 loss Saturday night.

Radek Dvorak and Eric Nystrom each registered an assist on Fiddler's goal. Trevor Daley blocked a team-leading four shots.

Vernon Fiddler sniped the lone goal for the Dallas Stars in their 4-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night.

It was only the center's fifth goal (15th point) on the year, so he's not worth a look in fantasy circles. Radek Dvorak and Nicklas Grossman recorded the assists on the goal. Jamie Benn and Alex Goligoski were each a minus-three, while Brenden Morrow had four penalty minutes. The overall result may not be what the team wants at home, but it wasn't for a lack of offense as it peppered Chris Mason with 37 shots -- 19 of which came in the first period. Sometimes, you just have to tip your hat to the opponent for a great performance.

Vernon Fiddler and Michael Ryder have recovered from minor ailments they sustained last week.

Fiddler hurt his groin on Saturday and Ryder suffered a leg injury on Friday, but they both managed to play in Monday's win over Colorado. The time they had off in between games helped them lick their wounds and they will be available for Thursday's match versus Ottawa.

Vern Fiddler left Saturday night's 3-0 loss to the Coyotes in the second period with a groin muscle injury.

He is listed as questionable for Monday night's contest against Colorado. Play it safe and consider him out unless you hear otherwise.

Former Nashville and Phoenix center Vernon Fiddler could prove valuable for Stars.

When the Stars signed Fiddler to a three-year deal in July, they received a solid checking center who is also good in the face-off circle. While he has averaged less than 30 points per 82 games, he could be a very good contributor on the third line for new coach Glen Gulutzan.

The Dallas Stars have signed Vernon Fiddler to a three-year/$5.4 million contract.

A nice raise for the third line center as he will make $1.8 million per season, a jump of $700,000 per year. He has little fantasy value with only six goals and 22 points last season but is a solid veteran who will anchor the bottom six forwards.

Phoenix Coyote GM Don Maloney would be happy to re-sign Vernon Fiddler to a new contract.

Fiddler is due to become a UFA at noon ET today. He made $1.1 million last season and if he is willing to sign a similar contract then Maloney would have no problem keeping him. Fiddler, who has little fantasy value, had six goals and 22 points in 71 games last season.

Vernon Fiddler (upper body) returned for Phoenix's 2-1 shootout victory over Dallas on Tuesday.

Fiddler missed Saturday's game due to the ailment. He logged 20:42 minutes of playing time and finished the game with a plus-one rating.

Vernon Fiddler missed Saturday's game with an upper body injury.

Fiddler was hit into the boards a week ago but has played since so we are unsure as to when he was injured. Nevertheless, reserve him for now if he was in your fantasy lineup.

Vernon Fiddler underwent the new concussion protocol on Friday night.

He was crushed into the boards by Alex Burrows, who received a five-minute major and a game misconduct. Fiddler went to the locker room where he was assessed by a doctor in a quiet room. Normally a trainer would check out the player while still on the bench. "I came in the dressing room and that's the protocol now and that's what the trainer said when I got hit," Fiddler said. "You like for it to be quiet and not a bunch of action around….They asked me a bunch of questions, just a typical neuro-psyche test and I just did what I was asked…He just asks you a few questions about the game, what day it is."
