Dach produced an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and seven PIM in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.
Dach showed off a couple of different skill sets, earning a helper on an Alex Vlasic tally in the second period before fighting Justin Barron in the third. The fight was prompted by Barron's hit on Frank Nazar. Dach has three points, 13 PIM and 23 hits over his last six outings, and he's starting to see top-six minutes at even strength. The 22-year-old has a total of seven points, 17 PIM, 24 shots on net and 68 hits across 20 appearances as a rookie.

Blackhawks' Colton Dach: Dipping toe in minors
Rotowire
Dach will be moved to the minors Friday in a paper transaction that will make him eligible for the AHL playoffs, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Dach will be back up with the club before the team faces Utah on Friday but needs to be in the minors when the trade deadline passes. Since Chicago won't be making the NHL playoffs, the move will allow the youngster to get some extra minutes after the season with AHL Rockford. In his 18 games for the Hawks this year, the Alberta native has generated two goals, four assists and 59 hits while averaging 11:39 of ice time.

Blackhawks' Colton Dach: Puts away goal
Rotowire
Dach scored a goal and added six hits in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Golden Knights.
This was Dach's second game back in the lineup since his Feb. 24 call-up from AHL Rockford. The 22-year-old was playing on the wing Thursday, but he could be pressed into action as a center after Nick Foligno (undisclosed) left the contest. Dach is up to two goals, five points, 20 shots, 51 hits and a plus-1 rating through 15 NHL appearances. He hasn't proven himself enough to be a factor in most redraft formats, but dynasty managers should keep an eye on his production over the remainder of the campaign.

Blackhawks' Colton Dach: Scores first NHL goal
Rotowire
Dach scored a goal, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Lightning.

Dach has four points, 13 shots on net, 32 hits and an even plus-minus rating so far. He won't be an option for all fantasy managers, but he's got a bit of scoring upside and physicality for those in deeper formats.

Blackhawks' Colton Dach: Adds helper Friday
Rotowire
Dach notched an assist and three hits in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Dach has a helper in each of the last two games after opening his NHL career with two scoreless efforts. The 22-year-old continues to play on the third line at even strength, and in an offense as thin as Chicago's, there's no guarantee he'll be able to sustain decent scoring numbers. Dach has contributed eight shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-1 rating through four outings. Fantasy managers in redraft formats can afford to wait and see if he performs well over a larger sample.

Blackhawks' Colton Dach: Elevated from minors
Rotowire
Dach was called up from AHL Rockford on Thursday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
Dach could be in the mix to play against the Canadiens on Friday, though he is far from a lock to get into the lineup. If he does play, the 21-year-old Dach would be making his NHL debut versus his brother Kirby Dach. In the minors, the younger Dach has been rolling offensively with 25 points in 30 games this year for the IceHogs.
