Chiarot contributed an assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs as part of the Global Series in Sweden.
Chiarot was the primary distributor on a Lucas Raymond tally to put the Red Wings up 2-0 heading into the third period, but the Maple Leafs dominated the final frame for some extra excitement in Stockholm. Chiarot has crafted four assists over his last five games, which has him on a career-best offensive pace of 28 points. Still, he is off the power play and that's the major drag on his fantasy value.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Notches two helpers
Rotowire
Chiarot logged a pair of assists in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.
Chiarot grabbed his first assist on Michael Rasmussen's tally midway through the third period before he grabbed a second helper on Klim Kostin's goal just 20 seconds later. It's the first multi-point game of the season for Chiarot, who came into the day with just two points (one goal, one assist) across his first 12 contests. The 32-year-old blueliner should continue to see regular minutes in a top-four role with Detroit, though he shouldn't be counted on for consistent offensive production -- Chiarot hasn't surpassed the 20-point mark in a season since the 2019-20 campaign with Montreal.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Gets on scoreboard
Rotowire
Chiarot brushed twine in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.
Chiarot telegraphed a wrist shot past goaltender Tristan Jarry for his first point of the season. While he had an abbreviated training camp in order to deal with a personal matter, Chiarot didn't take long to settle back into the mix as a second-pairing defenseman. He's not a coveted fantasy option, though he'll almost assuredly get his fair share of hits and blocked shots this campaign.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Remains out for personal reasons
Rotowire
Chiarot (personal) isn't expected to return until midway through the preseason, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Last year, Chiarot potted five goals to go with 14 helpers through 76 games to complement a career-high 164 blocked shots, but his minus-31 plus-minus rating was the worst on the team.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Closes out first season in Detroit
Rotowire
Chiarot, a first-year Red Wing, ended up with five goals, 14 assists and a minus-31 rating through 76 games this season.
Chiarot had the worst efficiency rating on the team, but it should be known that he still logged a career high in blocked shots (164) and brought a physical edge with 147 hits. Offensively, he was right on par with his career averages after completing seasons with the Jets, Canadiens and Panthers, respectively. It's clear that GM Steve Yzerman finds Chiarot valuable; after all, the versatile defenseman is on the books for three more seasons at $4.75 million AAV and has a modified no-trade clause built into the contract.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Earns assist in win
Rotowire
Chiarot garnered an assist, along with three shots, versus the Red Wings on Wednesday.
Chiarot needs just two more points to get back over the 20-point threshold for the fourth time in the last five seasons. While the veteran blueliner will never be a top-end fantasy target, he should offer decent mid-range value given his limited offensive upside and his ability to rack up hits and blocks.

Chiarot factored into the first two goals for Detroit, putting a merciful end to an eight-game point drought.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Delivers helper in narrow loss
Rotowire
Chiarot recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Chiarot is on pace for a career-high 24 points in his first season with the Winged Wheel. However, we caution that this is based on the best-case scenario of the journeyman staying healthy the entire season, which we wouldn't necessarily count on given that he has a decade's worth of NHL service time without logging 82 games over a given campaign. Chiarot has added 87 blocked shots and 96 hits through 41 games.

Chiarot has two goals and three assists working against a minus-5 rating through 18 games this season, which is his first with the Red Wings.

Rotowire
Chiarot notched an assist, five blocked shots, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.
Chiarot ended a four-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old hasn't done a lot on offense this year, but that's to be expected -- he's more of a physical presence capable of taking on top-four minutes. For the season, he has a goal, three assists, 36 hits, 32 blocked shots, 34 shots on net, 14 PIM and a minus-5 rating in 17 contests.
