Chicago Blackhawks

Connor Bedard was able to light the lamp for the Blackhawks Friday night, scoring one goal in a 3-2 loss to the Predators.

Fantasy Impact: Bedard continues a steady stretch in the offensive zone to begin the season, notching points in four of eight games for the Blackhawks so far this season. The second-year center should continue to grow into an elite option in lineups for fantasy managers, registering a 1.00 point per game average (two goals, six assists) so far this season.

Arvid Soderblom was solid between the pipes for the Blackhawks Friday night, stopping 33 of 35 shots faced in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Jets.

Fantasy Impact: Soderblom kept his squad in contention throughout the contest, recording a .943 save percentage in a losing effort. The netminder will continue to split time in the crease with Petr Mrazek, but fantasy managers will want to monitor the tandem in hopes that one can separate themselves as the clear No. 1 option in Chicago this season.

Nick Foligno scored a goal during a 5-2 loss to Utah. He had two shots on goal and finished with a minus-one rating in 13:54 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact: He was named as the 36th captain in franchise history this season. Foligno played in 74 games last year scoring 17 goals and 20 assists with a minus-29 rating.

Petr Mrazek stopped 22-of-26 shots during a 5-2 loss to Utah in the season opener.

Fantasy Impact: Last season in 56 games, Mrazek posted a record of 18-31-4 with a 3.05 GAA and .908 SV%. He should see plenty of action in the net for the Blackhawks once again but they have a long way to go before any of their goalies become fantasy-relevant options.

Teuvo Teravainen scored a goal on his only shot attempt during a 5-2 loss in Utah. He finished the game with a plus-one rating in 20:34 minutes of ice time.

Fantasy Impact: It was the first game for Teravainen as a Blackhawk after signing a three-year contract in the summer. Last year with Carolina he scored 25 goals and had 28 assists (53 points) in 76 games played.

Jonathan Toews was able to light the lamp for the Blackhawks Saturday night, scoring one goal in a 7-3 loss to the Oilers.

Fantasy Impact: Toews has been solid in the offensive zone of late for the Blackhawks, notching points in six of his last 10 games (three goals, five assists) for the club. The veteran forward would benefit from a trade to a contender for fantasy owners, tallying 28 points (14 goals, 14 assists) in 46 games so far this season.

Patrick Kane tallied two assists Saturday night in the Blackhawks' 7-3 loss to the Oilers.

Fantasy Impact: Kane has recorded points in six of his last eight games for the Blackhawks, scoring two goals and adding five assists in that span. The veteran sniper has made the most of playing on a Chicago squad lacking consistent offensive options, tallying 34 points (nine goals, 25 assists) in 45 games so far this season.

Jaxson Stauber was solid in net for the Blackhawks Thursday night, stopping 34 of 35 shots faced in a 5-1 win over the Flames.

Fantasy Impact: Stauber has been a breath of fresh air between the pipes recently for the Blackhawks, allowing three goals or less in each of two starts for the club. The 23-year-old netminder will look to continue an impressive start since being recalled, posting a 2.00 GAA and .940 save percentage in two starts (2-0-0) in the crease so far this season.

Seth Jones posted one assist in the Blackhawks' 5-2 loss to the Canucks Tuesday night.

Fantasy Impact: Jones has been strong in the offensive zone of late for the Blackhawks, tallying points in eight of his last 10 games (three goals, nine assists) for the club. The 28-year-old blueline will look to continue to turn around a disappointing start to the season for fantasy owners, posting 22 points (four goals, 18 assists) in 36 games so far this season.

Taylor Raddysh picked up three points for the Blackhawks Saturday night, scoring one goal and adding two assists in an 8-5 loss to the Kraken.

Fantasy Impact: Raddysh has struggled to make an impact of late in the offensive end for the Blackhawks, tallying points in just four of his last 10 games (three goals, three assists) for the club. The 24-year-old forward is expected to be a key piece in the future plans of a rebuilding Chicago squad, but will have to improve on his pedestrian output to this point, recording just 19 points (12 goals, seven assists) in 41 games so far this season.

Max Domi recorded two points for the Blackhawks Saturday night, scoring one goal and adding one assist in an 8-5 loss to the Kraken.

Fantasy Impact: Domi has heated up of late for the Blackhawks, posting points in seven of his last 11 games (three goals, seven assists). The 27-year-old has been one of the few bright spots on a Chicago club in flux, recording 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists) in 41 games so far this season.

Alex Stalock was solid in net for the Blackhawks Sunday night, stopping 44 of 47 shots faced in a 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Fantasy Impact: Stalock has been steady in the crease of late, allowing three goals or less in each of his last six starts (3-3-0, .935 save percentage) in net for the Blackhawks. The veteran netminder continues to be a more reliable option than No. 1 goaltender Petr Mrazek between the pipes, posting a 2.54 GAA and .923 save percentage in 13 appearances (6-5-1) in net so far this season.

Lukas Reichel picked up three points for the Blackhawks Sunday night, scoring one goal and adding two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over the Flames.

Fantasy Impact: Reichel picked up his first points in three games since being recalled from AHL Rockford for a Blackhawks squad that will give the 20-year-old prospect every opportunity to make an impact for a rebuilding squad. Prior to being recalled, Reichel posted a 1.13 point per game average (14 goals, 22 assists) in 32 games for the IceHogs this season.

Tyler Johnson was able to light the lamp for the Blackhawks Friday night, scoring one goal in a 2-0 win over the Coyotes.

Fantasy Impact: Johnson has now picked up points in just three of nine games since returning from long-term injured reserve, scoring two goals and adding one assist in that span. The 32-year-old has flashed the ability to score goals in bunches at times and will look to stay healthy as part of a rebuilding Chicago squad, posting a 0.60 point per game average (four goals, five assists) in 15 games so far this season.

Jake McCabe was able to find the back of the net for the Blackhawks Friday night, scoring one goal in a 2-0 win over the Coyotes.

Fantasy Impact: McCabe has been non-existent on the score sheet of late, registering points in just two of his last 12 games (one goal, one assist) for the Blackhawks. The 29-year-old blueliner has been a solid presence in the defensive zone for a rebuilding Chicago squad while posting just 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in 35 games so far this season.

Andreas Athanasiou was able to light the lamp for the Blackhawks Saturday night, scoring the team's lone goal in a 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Fantasy Impact: Athanasiou has struggled mightily of late to crack the score sheet for the Blackhawks, picking up points in just three of his last 16 games (three goals) for the club. The 28-year-old has struggled after signing with the rebuilding club in the offseason, recording just 11 points (eight goals, three assists) in 34 games so far this season.

Philipp Kurashev was able to tickle twine for the Blackhawks Sunday night, scoring the team's lone goal in a 7-1 loss to the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact: Kurashev has been a non-factor of late for the rebuilding Blackhawks, picking up points in just two of his last eight games (one goal, one assist) for the club. The 23-year-old is best left off rosters currently, recording just 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in 30 games so far this season.

Lankinen stopped 32-of-35 shots-on-goal for a .914 save-percentage in the 4-3 overtime win.

Fantasy Impact: The goalie has only won three games in the last month of play, bringing him to a 6-14-6 record on the year. Lankinen owns an .889 save-percentage and 3.66 goals-against-average in 28 games-played.

Alex DeBrincat tallied his 34th assist of the season in a 5-2 loss to the Flames. He finished minus-one with four shots on goal.

Fantasy Impact: DeBrincat has six asissts in his last three games but hasn't scored a goal since April 1st. The 24 year old only needs two goals and an assist to tie his career highs as he continues to produce despite the Blackhawks' struggles.

Former Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has been traded to the Minnesota Wild for a 2022 conditional second-round that can become a first-round pick if the Wild make the Western Conference final and Fleury wins four games in the first two rounds. Chicago will also retain 50% of Fleury's $7M cap hit this season. In another move, the Wild are reportedly trading goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen. (Source: Frank Seravalli on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Fleury, 37, has had a tumultuous season following his Vezina-winning performance last year. The Canadian goalie has a 2.95 GAA and .908 save percentage this year, but also has -17.5 goals saved above expected, one of the worst in the entire NHL. With Cam Talbot already entrenched in Minnesota's net, look for Fleury to split time with him, providing a steady veteran presence for their playoff push. It's best to consider Fleury a fringe starter for fantasy purposes, but more likely a bench player in shallow leagues.
