Blackhawks' Jason Dickinson: Late scratch Thursday
Rotowire
Dickinson (illness) will miss Thursday's game against Carolina, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Dickinson has six goals, 10 points, eight PIM, 41 hits and 27 blocks in 36 outings in 2025-26. Colton Dach was originally projected to be a healthy scratch due to Andre Burakovsky's (illness) return, but Dickinson's absence is slated to keep Dach in the lineup.

Blackhawks' Andre Burakovsky: Expected to play Thursday
Rotowire
Burakovsky (illness) is set to play Thursday in Carolina, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Burakovsky didn't play in Monday's 2-0 win over Winnipeg. He has 10 goals and 30 points in 43 outings in 2025-26. He's projected to play on the top line alongside Ryan Greene and Connor Bedard on Thursday.
Knight will defend the road crease against Carolina on Thursday, Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News reports.
Knight is coming off a shutout win over the Jets at home Monday, and he'll tend the twine Thursday for the fourth time in the Blackhawks' last five games. He'll face a tough test against the Hurricanes, who rank fourth in the NHL with 3.38 goals per game.
Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Slated to return Thursday
Rotowire
Nazar (upper body) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Hurricanes, per Scott Powers of The Athletic.
After taking a puck to the face in a clash with the Senators on Dec. 20, Nazar is poised to return following a 15-game absence. The 22-year-old could provide an offensive boost after posting 21 points in his first 33 games this season. Nazar will likely return to the second line to play alongside Ryan Donato and Tyler Bertuzzi.

Blackhawks' Teuvo Teravainen: Ruled out Thursday
Rotowire
Teravainen (upper body) will not travel with the team for Thursday's clash with Carolina, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Teravainen will be out of action for a fourth straight contest due to an upper-body injury. Prior to his absence, the Finn had a five-game goal drought during which he recorded one assist, six shots and one hit. With the veteran on the shelf, Ryan Greene figures to remain in a top-six role alongside Connor Bedard.

Rotowire
Mikheyev notched an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 2-0 win over the Jets.
Mikheyev ended a five-game point drought, a span that included one absence due to an illness. The 31-year-old winger saw 20:26 of ice time Monday to help cover the absences of Andre Burakovsky (illness/personal) and Teuvo Teravainen (upper body). Mikheyev has eight goals, 15 points, 71 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 44 appearances while filling a versatile middle-six role for the Blackhawks.

Blackhawks' Alex Vlasic: Adds two apples in win
Rotowire
Vlasic recorded two assists and fired two shots on net in Monday's 2-0 shutout win over Winnipeg.
Vlasic registered a pair of secondary helpers Tuesday, which snapped his five-game streak without a point. Overall, the 24-year-old blueliner is up to 10 assists, 12 points, 49 shots on goal and 71 blocks through 48 games this season. While Vlasic's start to the season hasn't gone as planned after his 30-point campaign a year ago, he should have plenty of opportunities to make a push towards that number thanks to his top-pairing role.
Bedard scored an empty-net goal and fired three shots on net in Monday's 2-0 shutout win over the Jets.
Bedard's empty-net tally with just over a minute left to play in Tuesday's contest was his first goal in five games since returning to Chicago's lineup from a shoulder injury. Overall, the 20-year-old phenom is up to 20 goals, 48 points and 122 shots on net across 36 games this season. While the injury led to a hit in his overall production compared to the league's other stars, he is ninth in the NHL with 1.33 points per game. Additionally, he hasn't relied heavily on the power play for offensive production, as just 14 of his 48 points have come with the man advantage. Despite already missing 13 games this season, he is still on pace to surpass his career high of 67 points, which was set across 82 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Blackhawks' Jason Dickinson: Nets go-ahead tally Monday
Rotowire
Dickinson scored a goal and recorded three shots on net in Monday's 2-0 shutout win over Winnipeg.
Dickinson's tally over halfway into the second period would stand as the go-ahead goal in Monday's contest, with goalie Spencer Knight keeping Winnipeg off the scoreboard. With the twine finder, Dickinson is up to six goals, 10 points, 47 shots on net, 41 hits and 27 blocks through 36 games this season. While he has supplied four goals since Dec. 16, his offensive production has taken a step back from the consecutive 30-plus point regular seasons that he posted to begin his tenure in Chicago three campaigns ago. He still has time to reach the 20-point mark this year, but his lack of high-end category coverage likely leaves more desirable options available in deep fantasy leagues.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Posts third shutout this season
Rotowire
Knight saved all 32 shots on net in Monday's 2-0 shutout win over the Jets.
Knight dominated Monday's contest with the reigning Hart Trophy and Vezina Trophy winner, Connor Hellebuyck, staring him down across the ice. With the win, Knight is up to a 14-13-6 record, a 2.53 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 33 appearances this season. Despite the Blackhawks' struggles as a team, the 24-year-old rising star continues to steal the spotlight in net this season, as he's now tied for fourth in shutouts and ranks in the top 10 in save percentage among goalies with double-digit appearances. His play has helped Chicago momentarily rise out of last place in the Central Division, and he is a must-roster goaltending option in fantasy amidst his breakout campaign. His next chance to take the ice is Thursday in Carolina.
Blackhawks' Andre Burakovsky: Not an option against Winnipeg
Rotowire
Burakovsky won't play versus the Jets on Monday due to an illness and a family matter, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Burakovsky will have two days off before the Blackhawks' next game, which is Thursday in Raleigh. The 30-year-old has 10 goals, 20 helpers, 61 shots on net and a minus-13 rating while averaging 17:29 of ice time over 43 appearances this season.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Set to start Monday
Rotowire
Knight is expected to start at home against Winnipeg on Monday, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.
Knight has lost his past two starts, though that was in large part due to a lack of offensive support. He stopped 53 of 58 shots (.914 save percentage) across those games. Knight is 13-13-6 with a 2.61 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 32 outings in 2025-26. The Jets saw their four-game winning streak come to an end with a 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto on Saturday, but Winnipeg has still scored at least three goals in each of its past seven games.

Blackhawks' Andre Burakovsky: Game-time call Monday
Rotowire
Burakovsky is considered a game-time decision Monday versus Winnipeg because of an illness and a family matter, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Burakovsky has 10 goals and 30 points in 43 appearances in 2025-26. If he can't play Monday, then Sam Lafferty will probably draw into the lineup.
Kaiser scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.
Kaiser has picked up a goal and an assist over his last three games. The 23-year-old defenseman has five goals this season, all scored since the start of December, as he flexes a little more scoring potential than initially expected. Through 48 contests, he's at 11 points, 49 shots on net, 30 hits, 44 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. Kaiser has emerged as a steady top-four blueliner.

Blackhawks' Ryan Greene: Opens scoring in loss
Rotowire
Greene scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.
Greene has two goals over his last four contests. The 22-year-old opened the scoring Saturday, but the Bruins dominated the last two periods. Greene is up to six goals, 18 points, 64 shots on net, 29 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 48 appearances. He's worth a look in deeper fantasy formats as long as he keeps skating alongside Connor Bedard on the top line.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Allows five goals in loss
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 18 of 23 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.
Soderblom was spotted a 2-0 lead in the first period, but it was gone by the end of the second. The Bruins didn't let up in the third, sending Soderblom to his first loss since Dec. 20. The 26-year-old netminder has gone 5-8-1 with a 3.97 GAA and an .868 save percentage over 15 appearances, numbers that make him virtually unplayable in most fantasy formats. He'll continue to occupy the backup role behind Spencer Knight, who will likely start at home against the Jets on Monday.
