Ryan Donato - Nets lone goal in loss Donato scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Donato scored against his former team at 3:22 of the third period, ending Joey Daccord's shutout bid. While he's not on the top line as he was earlier in the season, Donato has stayed productive with two goals and two assists over his last six outings. The 28-year-old is up to eight goals this season after scoring 12 in 78 contests in 2023-24. He's added three assists, 39 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-3 rating over 15 appearances.

Petr Mrazek - Falls short in loss Mrazek stopped 23 of 25 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Kraken. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact It was one-way traffic for the first half of the game, though the Blackhawks made a decent push in the third period. Mrazek wasn't bad, but he didn't get enough support. He's now alternated wins and losses over his last seven games despite giving up no more than three goals in any outing in that span. Mrazek is at a 5-8-0 record with a 2.79 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. The Blackhawks wrap up their two-game road trip in Vancouver on Saturday.

Alec Martinez - Taken off injured reserve Martinez (groin) was activated off injured reserve ahead of Thursday's matchup with Seattle, per the NHL media site.

Impact Martinez was officially deemed a game-time decision by head coach Luke Richardson but his removal from injured reserve clears the way for the blueliner to suit up versus the Kraken. Considering the Michigan native hasn't reached the 20-point mark in three consecutive seasons, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting a ton of offensive output by Martinez the rest of the way.

Alec Martinez - Game-time call Thursday Martinez will be a game-time decision for Thursday's tilt against Seattle, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Martinez hasn't played since Oct. 15 because of the injury. He has an assist, one hit and 15 blocks in four appearances with Chicago in 2024-25. If he's ready to return Thursday, then he'll probably serve on the top pairing alongside Seth Jones while Nolan Allan, who has dressed in Chicago's last 12 games, might shift the press box.

Petr Mrazek - Starting Thursday Mrazek will be between the visiting pipes in Seattle on Thursday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Mrazek was outstanding in his last start Sunday, giving up only one goal on 33 shots in a 2-1 overtime win. Overall, the 32-year-old netminder is 5-7-0 with a 2.85 GAA and a .905 save percentage. The Kraken have scored 49 goals in 16 games this season.

Alec Martinez - Might be available for Thursday Martinez (groin) practiced Wednesday and might be able to play Thursday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Martinez hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 15 due to the injury. A determination about his status won't be made until Thursday, but if he is ready to go, then Martinez will likely serve on the top pairing alongside Seth Jones. That would probably result in Nolan Allan being a healthy scratch after remaining in the lineup for 12 straight games.

Andreas Athanasiou - Going on waivers Athanasiou will be placed on waivers Monday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Impact Athanasiou has been a healthy scratch for nine straight games. He hasn't earned a point in five appearances while contributing six shots on goal, four blocked shots and five hits this season. Athanasiou's $4.25 million cap hit for 2024-25 will likely scare away teams from claiming him, meaning he could be ticketed for AHL Rockford if he clears waivers.

Isaak Phillips - Reassigned to minors Phillips was returned to AHL Rockford on Monday, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Impact Phillips has one goal, three shots on net, four blocked shots and three hits in three NHL outings this season. He hasn't earned a point in two minor-league appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. The demotion of Phillips could bode well for the availability of Alec Martinez (groin) ahead of Thursday's road matchup against Seattle.

Seth Jones - Sets up game-winner Jones registered an assist and three blocked shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Wild.

Impact Jones found Philipp Kurashev for the game-winning goal at 1:50 of overtime. With three points over his last five games, Jones has played well to begin November after ending October quiet. The defenseman is up to two goals, eight helpers, 35 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 22 hits and a minus-3 rating across 16 appearances in a first-pairing role this season.

Jason Dickinson - Tallies in overtime win Dickinson scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Wild.

Impact Dickinson snapped a five-game point drought with the first-period tally. The 29-year-old has not been as prominent on offense this season as he was in 2023-24, but he maintains a strong share of ice time as the third-line center. Dickinson is up to five points, 15 shots on net, 25 hits, 12 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances. His defensive work keeps him in the lineup, but he's unlikely to be a long-term fantasy option at any point of the campaign.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Philipp Kurashev - Nets game-winning goal Kurashev scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Wild.

Impact Kurashev has three points over his last seven outings. His tally Sunday was his biggest of the season, allowing the Blackhawks to steal a win from a division rival. The 25-year-old forward has moved all over the lineup in 2024-25 but has most often ended up on the second line while seeing power-play time. He's up to three goals, one assist, 21 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 15 appearances.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Petr Mrazek - Sharp in overtime win Mrazek stopped 32 of 33 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Wild.

Impact Mrazek has now alternated wins and losses for his last six outings, and this was his best of the bunch. He couldn't quite hold onto a shutout, allowing a Matt Boldy goal at 15:29 of the third period, but Philipp Kurashev won it for the Blackhawks in overtime. Mrazek improved to 5-7-0 with a 2.85 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 12 starts overall. The Blackhawks have a two-game week ahead with road contests in Seattle on Thursday and Vancouver on Saturday.
