PHILIPP KURASHEV NEWS

Tallies in loss Kurashev scored a goal in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Kurashev put the Blackhawks ahead 3-2 in the second period, but the lead didn't last. He was in the lineup for just the fifth time since the start of March, though he's earned three points in that span. The 25-year-old will likely compete with Lukas Reichel for playing time for the rest of the season. Kurashev has 13 points, 52 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-27 rating through 47 appearances in a disappointing follow-up to his 54-point breakout from 2023-24.

Records two assists Sunday Kurashev recorded two assists, one shot on goal and a plus-1 rating in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Kurashev stepped onto the ice for the first time since March 7, and he did it in style by recording his first multi-assist game of the season. That said, the 25-year-old forward, who sees most of the time on ice as a bottom-six forward, has notched only 12 points (six goals, six assists) in his 44 appearances this season. Thus, he can't be trusted to deliver consistent scoring figures in most fantasy formats.

Off injured reserve Kurashev (hand) was activated off injured reserve, setting the stage for him to play Friday versus Utah, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Kurashev has six goals and 10 points in 42 outings in 2024-25. He missed three straight games due to the injury. Kurashev will likely serve in a middle-six capacity in his return.

Moves to IR Kurashev (hand) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact Kurashev will miss his second straight game against the Kings on Monday. He won't be eligible to play versus Ottawa on Wednesday, either. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has registered six goals, 10 points and 48 shots on net in 42 appearances this season. Due to Kurashev's absence, Lukas Reichel will probably maintain a bottom-six role.

Won't play Saturday Kurashev (hand) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Ducks, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Kurashev scored in Thursday's game versus the Golden Knights, but he missed practice Friday due to the hand issue. It'll now cost him at least one contest. Lukas Reichel will center Patrick Maroon and Craig Smith on the fourth line in Kurashev's absence.

Dealing with hand injury Kurashev missed Friday's practice due to a hand injury, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Kurashev has six goals and 10 points in 42 appearances in 2024-25. If he can't play Saturday versus Anaheim, then Lukas Reichel will probably draw back into the lineup after spending the Blackhawks' previous two games in the press box.

Scores again in loss Kurashev scored a goal in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact This was Kurashev's second goal in the last three games. The 25-year-old forward also saw 12:42 of ice time Thursday, picking up a little extra usage after Nick Foligno (undisclosed) left the game injured. Kurashev could be in for a larger role if Foligno misses time, though the Blackhawks could rearrange their forward trios in any number of ways to cover an absence. For the season, Kurashev has 10 points, 48 shots on net and a minus-29 rating through 42 appearances, and he has mostly featured in a bottom-six role.

Pots goal in loss Kurashev scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Kurashev ended his seven-game goal drought with a tally late in the second period. He had just one assist in that span. The 25-year-old has had a largely disappointing season, one that's seen him slip into a part-time role while losing his power-play minutes. He's now at five goals, nine points, 45 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-27 rating through 40 appearances. He's on track for the worst season of his career, and there's a legitimate chance the Blackhawks leave the pending restricted free agent unqualified this offseason.

Picks up helper Kurashev notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.

Impact Kurashev has three points over his last four games while going plus-3 in that span. The 25-year-old is still stuck in a bottom-six role, so his chances are slim to keep up the pace on offense. The winger has four goals, four helpers, 40 shots on net and a minus-25 rating over 35 appearances. He'll likely still have to compete with players like Colton Dach, Landon Slaggert and Lukas Reichel to stay out of the press box.

Two points Monday Kurashev had a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Kurashev returned to the lineup after not playing in any of the team's previous four games, and he's been limited to just four appearances since the Christmas break. While he stood out with this performance Monday, fantasy managers would be wise to look at other options for more consistent, sustained production.

Back in lineup Friday Kurashev will return to the lineup Friday after being a healthy scratch for the last four games. per Mark Lazerus of The Athletic.

Impact Kurashev will replace Joey Anderson on the fourth line, alongside Lukas Reichel and Patrick Maroon. Kurashev had a big 2023-24 campaign, scoring 18 goals and adding 36 assists in 75 regular-season games, but he has been in a season-long slump this year with only three goals and five points in 28 appearances.

Falling out of favor Kurashev was scratched for the four games prior to the holiday break.

Impact Prior to his trip to the press box, Kurashev had gone nine contests without a point while also losing his power-play role. The 25-year-old winger has been bounced all over the lineup, but it doesn't look like he's meshing with interim head coach Anders Sorensen. Overall, Kurashev has just five points and 31 shots on net through 28 outings, as well as a putrid minus-27 rating.

Earns helper in win Kurashev notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Kurashev set up Taylor Hall for a goal just 17 seconds into the contest. This came after Kurashev spent a two-game stint as a healthy scratch, though it helps he was immediately placed on the top line in his return to the lineup. The 25-year-old winger is at five points, 23 shots on net and a minus-15 rating over 19 appearances, so there's not a lot to like about his play for fantasy purposes, especially with the looming threat of trips to the press box.

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.

Puts up helper on top line Kurashev logged an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Kurashev had played just about everywhere but the top line early in the season, but he was there with Connor Bedard and Ryan Donato on Sunday. The helper was Kurashev's third point to go with 17 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-8 rating through 12 appearances this season. The 25-year-old forward was successful last year in a similar role, so this may be enough to get his offense going, but the Blackhawks' wing depth is stronger this year. If Kurashev's performance dips, another tumble down the lineup could quickly follow.

Second goal of season Monday Kurashev notched a power-play goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Kurashev scored his first power-play goal of the season and recorded a season-high four shots in this win. However, he's netted twice across nine appearances while averaging roughly 1.5 shots per game. The 25-year-old winger has failed to deliver a lot of fantasy production over the first few weeks of the season, which should be disappointing given his top-six role.

Nets goal in Saturday's win Kurashev scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.

Impact Kurashev opened the scoring at 15:50 of the first period. His goal was the only one for Chicago that didn't involve the first line or top power-play unit. Kurashev has centered the second line to begin the season, and being separated from Connor Bedard has not served the 25-year-old forward well. Kurashev has a minus-2 rating, seven shots on net and a hit in addition to his goal across three appearances.
