Senators' Chris Neil: Back in team's immediate plans

Neil will return to the lineup Tuesday against the Devils after being a healthy scratch, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen reports.

Analysis:

The veteran tough guy is back in the mix with Mike Hoffman (groin) and Mark Stone (neck) sitting out with injuries, not to mention that Bobby Ryan (finger) is expected to be out until at least April. Neil is expected to see his most consistent playing time in the immediate future, but he's only worth targeting in the very deepest of fantasy formats if you need cheap penalty minutes and hits.
