Megna was placed on waivers Thursday, per PuckPedia. - Megna recorded two assists, 22 PIM, 60 hits and 87 blocks across 44 regular-season contests with Chicago in 2023-24. It's not surprising that the 31-year-old appears to have not made the Panthers' Opening Night roster, but if he clears waivers, Florida might still promote him during the campaign as an injury replacement. The 31-year-old is a veteran of 185 career NHL outings, collecting four goals, 27 points and 73 PIM. |

Megna signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Panthers on Friday. - Megna had two assists, 22 PIM, 28 shots, 60 hits and 87 blocks in 44 appearances with Chicago in 2023-24. He'll enter the Panthers' training camp with a chance of making the team, but Florida's blue line is strong enough to likely result in Megna instead beginning the campaign in the AHL. |

Megna recorded an assist against the Rangers on Thursday. - Megna was playing in his first NHL game of the season while also making his Blackhawks debut. The Florida native has only reached the 10-point threshold once in his career, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him racking up a ton of points with Chicago. |

Megna was claimed off waivers from Seattle on Wednesday. - Megna didn't get into a single game with the Kraken this season, but he had a goal in two contests with AHL Coachella Valley. During the 2022-23 campaign, Megna recorded a goal and 12 points in 54 outings between San Jose and Seattle. The 31-year-old defenseman might see work on Chicago's third pairing, but he'll probably spend most of his time with the Blackhawks serving as a healthy scratch. |

Megna was placed on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of assigning him to AHL Coachella Valley. - Megna had one goal in two AHL outings during a conditioning stint in early December. In 54 contests between the Sharks and Kraken during the 2022-23 campaign, he picked up 12 points, 56 shots on goal, 66 blocked shots and 86 hits. Megna hasn't seen any NHL action this season. |

Megna was recalled from his conditioning assignment with AHL Coachella Valley on Sunday. - Megna collected one goal in two games during his minor-league stint. He hasn't seen any playing time with the Kraken yet this season. |
None |
| Dec. 7, 2023 |
Megna was sent to AHL Coachella Valley on Thursday for a conditioning assignment. - Megna hasn't played at all in 2023-24, so this move will allow him to shake off the rust. He had a goad, 12 points, 86 hits and 66 blocks in 54 contests between San Jose and Seattle last season. |

Megna has been scratched for eight straight games to begin 2023-24. - With the Kraken healthy on defense, there hasn't been a chance for Megna to step into the lineup yet. The 30-year-old is in a tough position, as he may not even be the next man up -- if the Kraken have enough warning time, they may choose to insert a call-up from AHL Coachella Valley over Megna when injuries arise. |

Megna had two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights. - Megna has made just six appearances with the Kraken, going minus-3 with 11 hits, three blocked shots and seven shots on net. Since the second-year team clinched its playoff spot last week, Megna has had a chance to play while other defensemen rest. It's expected he'll be a healthy scratch to start the playoffs, but he appears to be the next man up if injuries occur. |
None |
| March 13, 2023 |
Megna logged two hits in 17:18 of ice time in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Stars. - Megna has appeared in just three of the Kraken's 18 games since they acquired him from the Sharks in February. He's gone five contests without a point, though it's tough to build any momentum when the Kraken have been shut out twice in games he's played. With his uninspiring performance Monday, Carson Soucy will likely be back in the lineup in short order after sitting as a healthy scratch versus the Stars. |
None |
| Feb. 5, 2023 |
The Sharks traded Megna to Seattle in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick Sunday. - Megna is averaging 19:03 of ice time with 12 points and 75 hits through 48 games this season. The 30-year-old has one more year on his current contract that's worth just over $762k annually before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2024. He'll provide quality depth on Seattle's blue line until then, likely in a bottom-four role. |

Megna scored a goal on three shots, added three hits, blocked three shots, logged two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes. - Megna provided an insurance tally in the third period, burying an assist from defense partner Erik Karlsson. The goal was Megna's first since April 14, 2022. The 30-year-old blueliner is not known for his offense, but he's put up a career-high 10 points with 39 shots on net, 54 blocked shots, 48 hits, 19 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 39 outings in a top-four role this season. |
None |
| Dec. 22, 2022 |
Megna produced an assist and a fighting major in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Wild. - Megna was a healthy scratch Tuesday versus the Flames, but it was just a one-game absence. He showed some spark in his return to the lineup, saucing a pass to set up Erik Karlsson's opening goal 44 seconds into the game. In the second period, Megna fought Matt Dumba. Megna's assist ended a four-game point drought, and he now has nine helpers through 32 contests. He's added 38 hits, 44 blocked shots, 32 shots on net, 17 PIM and a plus-5 rating. The 30-year-old will typically pair with Karlsson, though Tuesday's absence shows Megna is not guaranteed a spot in the lineup. |
None |
| Dec. 8, 2022 |
Megna posted a shorthanded assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canucks. - Megna found Logan Couture for a game-tying tally in the second period. The assist snapped a seven-game point drought for Megna, who continues to see top-four minutes in a defensive role. The 29-year-old blueliner has eight helpers, 26 shots, 37 blocks, 35 hits and a plus-4 rating through 27 appearances. |
None |
| Nov. 21, 2022 |
Megna notched an assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Senators. - Megna has collected three assists in his last six games, with the latest setting up Logan Couture's empty-netter Monday. Through 19 contests overall, Megna's at seven helpers, 16 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 19 hits and a plus-3 rating. His career high in points for a season is eight in 44 games, a mark he set last year and appears poised to shatter in 2022-23. |
None |

Megna posted an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Red Wings. - Megna has posted three assists over the last eight games. He helped out on a Logan Couture tally in the third period of Thursday's loss. For the season, Megna is at six helpers, 15 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 17 hits and a plus-2 rating in 17 appearances, serving as a defensive presence alongside Erik Karlsson on the top pairing. |
None |
| Nov. 11, 2022 |
Megna notched an assist and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Stars. - Megna picked up his fifth helper of the year on a Tomas Hertl goal early in the third period. Two of Megna's assists have come in the last five games. The 29-year-old blueliner has a fairly steady role as the defensive counterbalance to Erik Karlsson on the top pairing. Through 14 outings, Megna's racked up a plus-2 rating, 10 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 13 hits and four PIM, though he remains in search of his first goal of the season. |
None |
| Nov. 2, 2022 |
Megna posted an assist in Tuesday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Ducks. - Facing his former team, Megna was able to get on the scoresheet. He set up the second of Erik Karlsson's three goals in this contest. Megna is up to four assists, 12 hits, 11 blocked shots, four shots on net and two PIM through 10 contests. When he's in the lineup, he's often alongside Karlsson on the top defense pairing, though Megna is not safe from the occasional healthy scratch. |
None |
| Oct. 24, 2022 |
Megna recorded an assist and two hits in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Flyers. - Megna has played in six of the Sharks' eight games this year. The 29-year-old has done alright when in the lineup, recording three helpers and a plus-1 rating while adding four shots on net, six hits and five blocked shots. When he plays, he's often paired alongside Erik Karlsson at even strength, but Megna doesn't see much usage on special teams. Even if he was securely in the lineup, he's unlikely to sustain his offense well enough to make an impact in fantasy. |
None |
| Oct. 19, 2022 |
Megna earned his second assist this season Tuesday, but the Sharks remained winless following a 5-2 loss to the Islanders. - Megna, a 29-year-old defenseman whose career high in points is eight, is on a half-point per game pace. He's definitely on a roll. In 44 appearances last season, Megna produced just two goals and six assists. In four games this season, Megna has already compiled two assists. Megna's offense may be increasing because he is averaging over 20 shifts a game. It's too early to call Megna a defensive sleeper. |
None |
| Oct. 14, 2022 |
Megna produced an assist and blocked two shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes. - Megna set up Evgeny Svechnikov for the Sharks' lone goal of the game. The assist was Megna's first point in two games this year. The 29-year-old was paired with Erik Karlsson at even strength, though Megna is more likely to fill a defensive role if they remain together throughout the year. He had eight points, 92 blocked shots and 71 hits in 44 contests last year, so he shouldn't be considered a reliable source of offense. |

Megna will replace Saturday as the Sharks face the Predators, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. - Megna sees his first action of the season Saturday after he was a healthy scratch Friday in the Sharks season opener. Megna played 44 games for the Sharks last season, scoring a pair of goals and adding six assists. |
None |
| May 9, 2022 |
Megna secured a two-year, $1.525 million contract with the Sharks on Monday. - Megna played in 44 games for the Sharks this season, a new career high, in which he garnered two goals, six helpers and 71 hits while averaging 19:07 of ice time. While the 29-year-old blueliner could earn himself a permanent spot in the lineup during training camp, he offers limited offensive upside and therefore shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value, at best, heading into next season. |
None |
| April 24, 2022 |
Megna notched two assists and three blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights. - Megna helped out on goals by Tomas Hertl and Nick Bonino in the first two periods of the game. These were Megna's first points since he missed one game with a head injury. The defenseman has two goals, five helpers, 36 shots on net, 84 blocked shots and 67 hits through 41 contests overall while mainly serving as a top-four option this season. |

San Jose's next game is Tuesday against the Blue Jackets, but it's unclear when the team expects him to return. Santeri Hatakka will dress in his place. |

Megna notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Flames. - Megna had a shot attempt in the first period that was redirected in by Nick Bonino. This was Megna's second assist in his last three games, though that's an unusually strong run of offense for the 29-year-old blueliner. He's at four points, 31 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 54 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 33 contests this season. That matches his scoring output from his last campaign of NHL action in 2018-19. As a defensive presence, Megna has been relied on for top-four minutes for the Sharks in 2021-22. |
None |
| April 3, 2022 |
Megna recorded an assist, three blocked shots and two hits in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Stars. - Megna ended a five-game point drought with a helper on defense partner Brent Burns' second-period tally. The 29-year-old Megna doesn't add much on offense -- he has just three points through 31 contests this season. The American blueliner has added 65 blocked shots, 49 hits and 12 PIM as a defensive complement to Burns on the Sharks' top pairing since Jacob Middleton was traded to the Wild at the deadline. |
None |

Megna recorded an assist, three hits, two blocked shots and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes. - This was just Megna's second point of the season -- his other was a goal Jan. 22 against the Lightning. The 29-year-old missed four weeks after undergoing foot surgery in February. The defenseman has contributed 23 shots on net, 41 hits, 45 blocked shots, 12 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 25 outings. He's seen consistent playing time on the Sharks' blue line and should continue to do so until Mario Ferraro (leg) or Radim Simek (undisclosed) return. |

Megna (foot) was cleared Wednesday to play in Thursday's tilt versus Los Angeles, per Corey Masisak of The Athletic. - Megna has missed the last 10 games while dealing with a foot injury that required surgery in February.

The 29-year-old defenseman has averaged 19:11 of ice time and lit the lamp once over the last 10 games. His injured reserve designation comes with a minimum seven-day absence as a result, he will not be eligible to participate in Monday's tilt versus Edmonton and Thursday's contest against Vancouver. |
