Date News Advice
Oct. 31, 2024 Watson was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday. - Watson was recalled by the Red Wings on Wednesday to fill in for Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) against Winnipeg. Watson tallied four hits and a shot on goal while logging 9:06 of ice time, but he should have more consistent opportunities to contribute in the AHL. None
Oct. 30, 2024 Watson was recalled by the Red Wings on Wednesday. - Watson has six assists and 19 PIM in seven appearances with AHL Grand Rapids in 2024-25. He's a veteran of 516 career NHL regular-season outings, recording 60 goals, 118 points and 707 PIM. Vladimir Tarasenko is expected to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's tilt against Winnipeg due to the flu, so Watson might draw into the lineup in a bottom-six capacity if Tarasenko is unavailable. None
Oct. 15, 2024 Watson was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday. - Watson being returned to the minors is likely an indication that Christian Fischer (upper body) is nearing a return. Watson registered two hits and two PIM in 4:54 of ice time in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers. None
Oct. 14, 2024 Watson will be in action versus the Rangers on Monday once he's officially recalled from AHL Grand Rapids, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports - Watson figures to jump into a bottom-six role while Christian Fischer (upper body) is sidelined. In two minor-league games for the Griffins this year, the veteran Watson has generated three assists, seven PIM and a plus-3 rating. Once Fischer is given the all-clear, Watson will almost certainly be returned to the minors. None
Oct. 7, 2024 Watson signed a one-year, two-way contract with Detroit on Monday. - Watson attended Detroit's training camp on a professional tryout before earning his two-way agreement. He produced two goals, two assists, 93 PIM and 85 hits across 33 regular-season contests with Tampa Bay in 2023-24. Watson will serve as a depth forward for the Red Wings, but he might carve out a role on the fourth line as the season progresses. None
Aug. 28, 2024 Watson signed a professional tryout agreement with the Red Wings on Wednesday, per his agency. - Watson will enter training camp on a tryout for a second year in a row. Last season, he turned his tryout into a one-year deal with the Lightning and proceeded to post just four points, along with 85 hits and 93 PIM, in 33 regular-season games. He'll likely have to settle for a fourth-line role if the Red Wings end up offering him a full deal. None
April 29, 2024 Watson will be a free agent this offseason. - Watson played in just 33 games this season, scoring two goals and adding two assists. He did put up 93 PIM and 85 hits, but mustered only 17 shots while averaging 7:16. Watson didn't ink his one-year deal with the Bolts until October, and that doesn't bode well for 2024-25 given his performance. Over his career, he has played in 515 regular-season games and recorded 60 goals, 58 assists, 705 PIM and 1,209 hits. None
March 23, 2024 Watson has played in just two of Tampa Bay's last 17 games. - Watson returned from a lower-body injury Feb. 8 against the Islanders, picking up one shot and three hits in 8:29 of ice time. Since then, he has struggled to find his way into the lineup, dressing against the Panthers on Feb. 17 and versus the Flyers on March 9. With the Bolts playing to retain a wild-card spot, Watson may be hard-pressed to see the game from ice level down the stretch. None
Feb. 8, 2024 Watson (lower body) has been activated off injured reserve, per the NHL media site. - Watson has missed the team's last four contests due to his lower-body issue but seems to be at least healthy enough to be an option versus the Islanders on Thursday. If the 32-year-old winger does suit up, it would likely be in a bottom-six role that would see Mitchell Chaffee relegated to the press box or even shipped back to the minors. None
Jan. 24, 2024 Watson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly. - Watson was deemed week-to-week as of Tuesday, so his placement on IR makes sense. It's unlikely he'll be back before the All-Star break. Mitchell Chaffee was called up from AHL Syracuse to take Watson's spot on the roster. None
Jan. 23, 2024 Watson (lower body) is considered week-to-week, per Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida. - As a result, Watson probably won't be available to return before the All-Star break. He has two goals, one assist, 69 PIM and 61 hits in 26 outings this season. Tampa Bay chose to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen in Tuesday's contest against Philadelphia. None
Dec. 28, 2023 Watson has been a healthy scratch in six of the Lightning's last eight games. - Watson has played just 17 games this season, and he has one goal to show for the season. He does have 45 hits in that span, though, and he sometimes lays out four or five, or more in the games he does play. But that's not enough to make him roster worthy. None
Nov. 25, 2023 Watson went scoreless in Friday's 8-2 win against the Hurricanes. - Watson didn't score any points, but he was very busy. He ended up with a slashing call, a game misconduct for abuse of officials in the second period, and he had another roughing call and game misconduct in the third period. Watson ended up with 26 penalty minutes, and that's his biggest contribution for fantasy managers. None
Nov. 18, 2023 Watson played 6:46 Saturday in a 6-4 win over the Oilers, but remains without a point this season. - He did get seven PIM, including a major for fighting. Watson is struggling to get meaningful ice in Tampa Bay. He has skated in just seven of the team's 18 games, and his time has ranged from a high of 8:55 and a low of 3:30. Watson is on the downside of his NHL career. None
Oct. 9, 2023 Watson signed a one-year, $776,665 contract with Tampa Bay on Monday. - Watson managed to land a contract with the Lightning after attending training camp with the team on a professional tryout agreement. In 75 games with Ottawa last season, he generated nine goals, 11 points, 123 PIM and 165 hits. He will provide some physicality in a fourth-line role with Tampa Bay this campaign, when he gets the opportunity to play. None
Aug. 23, 2023 Watson (lower body) signed a professional tryout agreement with the Lightning on Wednesday, per CapFriendly. - Watson was reportedly looking for a multi-year deal this offseason, but he'll have to settle for a camp invitation. The 31-year-old forward is a strong bottom-six option with penalty-killing skills, and there's a good chance he could receive a contract from the Lightning to bolster their fourth line. None
April 8, 2023 Watson (foot) will not play Saturday versus Tampa Bay and is done for the season, Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen reports. - Watson was injured Thursday versus the Panthers. He has nine goals, two assists, 123 PIM and 165 hits in 75 games this season. Watson will be replaced on the fourth line by Julien Gauthier. None
April 6, 2023 Watson (lower body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Panthers. - Watson was hurt in the second period, though it's unclear when the injury occurred. If he can't play Saturday versus the Lightning, Dylan Gambrell or Julien Gauthier could enter the lineup. None
Feb. 19, 2023 Watson (illness) will be a game-time decision Sunday against St. Louis, Claire Hanna of TSN reports. - Watson is expected to take part in pregame warmups before a decision on status is made. Still, it seems probable that he will return after missing Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Chicago because Tyler Motte will be scratched Sunday for trade-related reasons. If Watson can't play, Dillon Heatherington could suit up as the seventh defenseman. None
Feb. 17, 2023 Watson (illness) will not be in the lineup versus Chicago on Friday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports. - Watson's spot in the lineup is expected to be taken by Derick Brassard, who was a healthy scratch Tuesday. Watson has four goals and six points in 50 games this season. Consider him day-to-day after Friday's tilt. None
Dec. 31, 2022 Watson scored a goal during a 4-2 loss to the host Red Wings on Saturday. - Watson, who notched his first marker in six outings, opened the scoring by beating goalie Magnus Hellberg blocker side for a 1-0, first-period lead. The 30-year-old left winger has endured two prolonged goalless droughts this season, going 13 games (Nov. 19-Dec. 14) and 15 outings to open the campaign. None
Nov. 17, 2022 Watson scored his first goal of the season against the Sabres on Wednesday. - Watson has struggled to produce offensively to start the year with just three points in 16 outings. Not surprisingly, his minutes have also been limited, as the 30-year-old winger is averaging just 8:43 of ice time. Considering Watson has never reached the 20-point mark in his eight-year NHL career, this doesn't seem like the season he will suddenly start contributing. None
Oct. 19, 2022 Watson picked up his first point Tuesday in a 7-5 victory over the Bruins. - Watson picked up the lone assist on the game winner as he intercepted an Anton Stralman pass behind the net and found Mark Kastelic in the slot. Kastelic easily beat Jeremy Swayman to make the score 6-3 at the time. Watson had one hit in 7:57 of action as he is seeing fourth line duty at this time. None
April 12, 2022 Watson scored a goal and added an assist Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Red Wings. - Watson opened the scoring with jut five seconds remaining in the first period. He scored from the high slot on a quick pass from Josh Norris. He picked up the assist on an empty-net goal by Tim Stutzle that put the Sens up 4-1 with 14 seconds left in the game. Watson has just eight goals and four assists in 58 games this season, but his game has been much warmer lately. He has four goals and an assist in his last five games. None
April 6, 2022 Watson scored two goals in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canadians. - He opened and closed the scoring for the Senators, getting them on the board late in the first period to tie the game at 1-1 before flipping home an empty-netter late in the third. Watson only has six goals in 54 games on the season as he toils away on the fourth line, but three of them have come in the last three games. None
Feb. 16, 2022 Watson has served his two-game suspension and is eligible to return Thursday versus the Sabres. - Watson is expected to play in a bottom-six role after his two-game ban. The 31-year-old has just three points in 31 games this season, though he's added 93 hits and 55 PIM. Given the almost total lack of offense, Watson isn't a player fantasy managers need to follow closely. None
Feb. 13, 2022 Watson received a two-game suspension Sunday for interference on Boston's Jack Ahcan, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports. - Watson has averaged 14:18 of ice time and been held without a point over the last 10 games. The 31-year-old will miss Sunday's game against Washington and Tuesday's tilt versus St. Louis while suspended. None
Feb. 12, 2022 Watson will have an in-person hearing Sunday for his interference against Bruins' forward Jack Ahcan. - With an in-person hearing set, Watson can be suspended five or more games. He struck Ahcan up high away from the puck and was given a two-minute penalty for the hit. This shouldn't impact many fantasy managers as Watson has just three points through 30 games this season. None
Jan. 18, 2022 Watson contributed two PIM and four hits in a 3-1 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday. - Watson has found himself in the box a lot lately, with 13 PIM over his last eight games. The 31-year-old has played in just 19 games this season, with two goals and 34 PIM. None
Nov. 20, 2021 Watson was activated off the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list Saturday. - As long as he's fit enough to play, Watson will likely slot into a bottom-six role for Monday's clash with Colorado. The 30-year-old winger has gone scoreless through two games this season. None
Nov. 5, 2021 Watson was placed in the league's COVID-19 protocols Friday. - Watson was just two games back from an ankle injury and will now need to miss at least 10 days, barring a false positive. As such, fantasy players should be anticipating Watson will be out for the next five games during which time Logan Shaw should jump back into the lineup. None
March 22, 2021 Austin Watson had an assist in 12:44 of ice time in the Senators' 2-1 win over the Flames on Monday. He took one shot and had a plus-minus of +1 for the game. Watson now has seven assists on the season. None

2024-10-08 analysis Watson attended Detroit's training camp on a professional tryout before earning his two-way agreement. He produced two goals, two assists, 93 PIM and 85 hits across 33 regular-season contests with Tampa Bay in 2023-24. Watson will serve as a depth forward for the Red Wings, but he might carve out a role on the fourth line as the season progresses.
