Dach scored a power-play goal and added two hits in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.
Dach's tally tied the game at 3-3 in the second period, erasing what had been a three-goal deficit for Chicago. Over his previous six games, Dach had been limited to one assist. The 22-year-old forward has been a regular in the Blackhawks' lineup as a bottom-six option, earning three goals, three helpers, 33 shots on net, 94 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 25 appearances, production largely similar to what he had in the same number of outings in 2024-25.

Blackhawks' Colton Dach: Nets game-winning goal
Rotowire
Dach scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Dach broke a 2-2 tie late in the third period with a tip-in at the 15:35 mark. This was his second goal of the season, and his first since Oct. 28, so even if he played a big role in this victory, the 22-year-old doesn't have a lot of upside in most formats.

Blackhawks' Colton Dach: Draws assist
Rotowire
Dach notched an assist, two shots on goal and six hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Dach saw 13:22 of ice time while being listed on the first line, though the left-wing spot alongside Connor Bedard has been a revolving door through two games. The helper was Dach's first point of the season to go with three shots and 10 hits. If his offense cooperates, he could be a burgeoning power forward in 2025-26, so fantasy managers in deeper formats will want to keep an eye on his usage.

Rotowire

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: 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.
