Del Mastro is up to six points, 18 shots on net, 39 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 23 appearances in 2024-25.

Impact Del Mastro has played in all but one game in March, but he's been limited to three points over 13 appearances. The 22-year-old defenseman has mostly served in a bottom-four role. There will be some growing pains on a young blue line -- only one defenseman the Blackhawks dressed Friday was over the age of 24. For the season, Del Mastro is at five points, 18 shots on net, 35 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 22 appearances at the NHL level.

The rookie has three points, seven shots on net, 18 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 11 outings. He hasn't seen power-play time this season, but that could be a duty added to Del Mastro's workload if he continues to hold steady at even strength. For now, Alex Vlasic and Alec Martinez are handling the power-play work for the Blackhawks following the Seth Jones trade.
