Pat Maroon - Bags apple in lossMaroon registered an assist and three hits in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.
ImpactMaroon snapped a 10-game slump with the helper on a Seth Jones goal in the third period. The 36-year-old Maroon continues to log steady minutes on the Blackhawks' fourth line and second power-play unit, but his offense has faded after a late-November burst. He's at nine points, 35 shots on net, 60 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 33 appearances this season.

Seth Jones - Pots goal FridayJones scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.
ImpactJones tallied in the third period to cut the deficit to two goals, but the Blackhawks got no closer. This was his third game back from a broken foot, and he's added three shots on net, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in that span. Jones has the potential to put up plenty of points, shots and blocks, but he doesn't add as many hits or PIM and will likely carry a terrible plus-minus rating. His fantasy utility will depend on which categories you're considering.

Sam Lafferty - Garners assist in winLafferty provided an assist and two hits in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
ImpactThe helper was Lafferty's first point in four games since he missed nine contests due to a lower-body injury. The 29-year-old forward plays on the fourth line, so he isn't expected to chip in a lot of offense. He's been limited to two points, 15 shots on net, 16 PIM, 35 hits and a minus-2 rating over 26 appearances this season, a level of production way down from when he had 13 goals and 24 points over 79 regular-season outings with the Canucks in 2023-24.

Bowen Byram - Picks up helper FridayByram logged an assist, four hits and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
ImpactByram snapped a four-game drought with the helper on a Zach Benson tally in the first period. The 23-year-old Byram has seen a decrease in ice time since Rasmus Dahlin returned from a back injury, but the former is still firmly in the top four. Byram has contributed 19 points, 43 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 35 hits and a plus-6 rating over 36 appearances. He's on his way toward a career year, sitting 10 points back of his previous high from 2023-24, a season he split between the Avalanche and the Sabres.

Rasmus Dahlin - Two more assists FridayDahlin logged two assists, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
ImpactWith six helpers, a plus-7 rating and three blocked shots over his last two games, it looks like Dahlin is back in form after a bout of back spasms cost him eight of nine contests from Dec. 5-21. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to 25 points, 83 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 29 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 28 appearances. Dahlin should benefit from not having any back-to-backs over the next five games, which should help prevent any lingering issues from cropping up.
