Shattenkirk filled in for the Alex Pietrangelo (knee) on the top defensive pairing in Tuesday night's 2-1 shootout loss to the Jets.
Analysis:
Shattenkirk skated a team-high 27:54, including more than eight minutes on special teams. He'll remain on the top pairing, alongside Jay Bouwmeester, while Pietrangelo is out for at least the next three weeks. Considering what Shattenkirk has been able to do offensively in the past, this increase in playing time should merit significant interest from fantasy owners.
