Lightning's Ryan Callahan: Not fit to return

Callahan (lower body) will sit out yet again as the Lightning play host to the Canucks on Thursday, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Make that five straight absences for the oft-injured winger. Of course, even when healthy, Callahan's done very little to rouse fantasy owners in general; he's produced a mere two goals and two assists in 15 games without a single power-play point. If you have a finite number of bench or IR spots available, consider cutting ties with Callahan.
