Grabs helper in shootout loss Blackwell logged an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Lightning.

Impact Blackwell ended a five-game point drought, though that span also saw him scratched seven times. The 31-year-old is still competing for playing time -- he was in the lineup over Evgenii Dadonov in this contest, likely due to Blackwell's strengths as a defensive forward. For the season, he's at 14 points, 58 shots on net, 75 hits and a plus-1 rating across 54 appearances.

Competing for playing time Blackwell went minus-2 in 11:21 of ice time in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact Blackwell has played in two straight games while Roope Hintz (face) is out. Prior to that, Blackwell was scratched for five straight contests. The 31-year-old's playing time outlook took a hit when the Stars acquired Mikko Rantanen -- Blackwell has mainly played as a right wing this year, and he became the odd man out after that trade. For the season, Blackwell has done alright in a limited role with 13 points, 56 shots on net, 75 hits and 21 blocked shots over 52 outings, but his place in the lineup is not guaranteed when the Stars are healthy up front.

Supplies helper Saturday Blackwell recorded an assist in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Blackwell has three points over his last three appearances, but he's also been scratched twice in the span. It looks like the 31-year-old is getting pinched out of the lineup on occasion, though it was Sam Steel who was scratch Saturday. Blackwell is at 13 points, his most in a season since the 2021-22 campaign, and he's added 53 shots on net, 70 hits and a plus-2 rating over 48 outings. His fantasy value isn't particularly high and will be reduced further if he can't hold an everyday role.

Nets lone goal in loss Blackwell scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Ducks.

Impact Blackwell returned to the lineup to fill in for Mavrik Bourque (face). The 31-year-old Blackwell was scratched Sunday against the Blue Jackets, his first time in the press box since November. The forward could face additional pressure for playing time after the Stars' trade over the weekend that brought in Mikael Granlund from the Sharks to supplement the forward group. Blackwell as mostly functioned as a fourth-liner this season, earning 12 points, 52 shots on net, 70 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 47 appearances.

Impact Blackwell's goal drought continued through all of January and is now at 18 games. He has three assists in that span while maintaining a fourth-line role. The 31-year-old defensive forward has 11 points, 51 shots on net, 68 hits and a plus-2 rating over 46 appearances, one point shy of matching his production over 44 outings with the Blackhawks in 2023-24.

Pockets helper in win Blackwell provided an assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Blackwell helped out on a Marej Blumel goal that opened the scoring 5:26 into the game. This was Blackwell's second helper over the last five contests. He remains in a fourth-line role, so his scoring contributions are likely to be limited. He's up to 10 points, 45 shots on net, 54 hits and a plus-2 rating through 41 appearances this season.

Contributes assist Sunday Blackwell recorded a power-play assist and three hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

Impact Blackwell ended an eight-game point drought with his helper on Evgenii Dadonov's third-period goal. Playing in a bottom-six role often keeps Blackwell away from consistent scoring contributions. Overall, he has nine points, 41 shots on net, 50 hits and a plus-1 rating over 37 appearances this season. Despite the lack of offense, Blackwell is likely to remain in the lineup on a regular basis as a veteran forward.

Impact Blackwell has scored twice over the last three games. His tally Monday opened the scoring at 11:02 of the first period. The 31-year-old forward is up to four goals, eight points, 35 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-3 rating through 28 appearances. He continues to be a steady veteran presence on the fourth line, but the lack of offense makes him a player most fantasy managers don't need to keep tabs on.

Impact Blackwell scored for the first time since Nov. 27, and he had just one assist over nine contests between goals. The 31-year-old has emerged as a regular on the Stars' fourth line, but he hasn't brought much in the way of offense.

Puts up helper Blackwell notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Blackwell has just two points over six contests since he returned from a five-game stint as a healthy scratch. The 31-year-old probably won't be scratched often going forward since Tyler Seguin (hip) is out until at least April, but Blackwell looks to be confined to the fourth line. The forward has six points, 23 shots on net, 35 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 21 appearances this season. His production is fairly limited across the board, giving him low fantasy value in most formats.

Scores in return to lineup Blackwell scored a goal in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Blackwell returned to the lineup after a five-game absence and made his presence felt with a goal, but he's not expected to register consistent production -- or even regular ice time -- going forward. As such, his fantasy upside is close to minimal regardless of the format of your league.

Impact Blackwell snapped an eight-game slump when he set up Oskar Back's first career tally at 15:56 of the second period. The 31-year-old Blackwell has been a regular on the Stars' fourth line this year, earning four points, 18 shots on net, 21 hits and a minus-1 rating over 15 appearances. While he may be in the lineup consistently, he probably won't put up significant offense, so he's not a strong fantasy option.

Impact Blackwell opened the scoring on a short-handed breakaway in the first period. The 31-year-old winger has a goal and two points in five games to start the season, but is not expected to generate much fantasy relevance this season unless he can carve out a more meaningful role.

Impact Blackwell picked up his first point of the year on a Sam Steel goal in the first period. The 31-year-old Blackwell has added two shots on net, five hits and a plus-1 rating while filling a fourth-line role. The veteran forward has reached the 20-point mark just twice in his career and doesn't stand out in other statistical areas, so he's not a player most fantasy managers will need to roster in 2024-25.

Impact Blackwell earned eight goals, 12 points, 88 shots on net and 45 hits across 44 regular-season appearances for Chicago in 2023-24. He has been limited to 97 games over the past two campaigns because of injuries but should occupy a fourth-line role with the Stars if he can stay healthy.
