Blackhawks' Oliver Moore: Deposits twine finder in loss
Rotowire
Moore tallied a goal and put two shots on net in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Moore tallied the final goal of Saturday's contest, helping the Blackhawks end the game on a positive note. The 21-year-old center has started to find his shooting touch, as he now has a pair of goals across eight shots on net over six appearances to begin the new season. He scored just five goals across 51 regular-season games in 2025-26, so his hot start to the new campaign is noteworthy. He's currently a stash in deep leagues at best in fantasy for the time being, but that could change if Moore continues to drive the Blackhawks offense in the absence of Connor Bedard (shoulder).

Blackhawks' Roman Kantserov: Nets first NHL goal
Rotowire
Kantserov tallied a goal and placed three shots on net in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Carolina.
Kantserov's first NHL goal arrived directly off a draw, where he intercepted a pass and took the puck down the ice and past Carolina's Brandon Bussi. The 22-year-old Kantserov appears to be finding his footing in the NHL after posting three shots on net in addition to his goal. The rookie had a strong season with the KHL's Metallurg Magnitogorsk in 2025-26, where he compiled 36 goals and 64 points across 63 regular-season outings. He'll have plenty of opportunities to produce on Chicago's top line in 2026-27, making him a solid stash candidate in fantasy while he continues to get his bearings.

Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Yields five goals on high volume
Rotowire
Knight stopped 34 of 39 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Knight's struggles to open the new season continued in Saturday's clash against the reigning league champs. However, he held up well against a flurry of shots from Carolina, who placed 39 shots on goal in Saturday's meeting. Overall, the 25-year-old Knight now holds a 1-3-0 record, a 3.80 GAA and an .885 save percentage across four outings in 2026-27. The young netminder has displayed elite flashes of play in the past, but until Chicago's defensive unit can shore things up behind the blue line, Knight is a difficult player to trust in fantasy. If called upon, his next opportunity to bounce back will be in Tuesday's matchup against the Penguins.

Blackhawks' Ryan Roobroeck: Pots pair in big OHL win
Rotowire
Roobroeck scored twice in OHL Guelph's 10-5 win over Owen Sound on Saturday.
Roobroeck has started the OHL season on a six-game point streak, with his last four outings being multi-point efforts. He has six goals, four assists, 33 shots on net and a plus-6 rating. The Blackhawks prospect was selected 35th overall in 2026.
Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Slated to face Carolina
Rotowire
Knight is slated to start at home against the Hurricanes on Saturday, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.
Knight has a 1-2-0 record, 3.35 GAA and .890 save percentage in three outings with Chicago this campaign. The defending Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes are naturally a tough assignment, especially given Carolina's strong start to 2026-27. The Hurricanes are 3-1-1 while averaging 3.60 goals per game.

Blackhawks' Teuvo Teravainen: Ready to rock
Rotowire
Teravainen (undisclosed) will be in the lineup against Carolina on Saturday, per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.
Teravainen's return from a one-game absence coincides with Frank Nazar's exit from the lineup because of a two-game suspension. The 32-year-old Teravainen has two assists and two shots on goal in three appearances this season.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Receives two-game suspension
Rotowire
Nazar was suspended two games for his illegal check to the head of Bo Horvat in Thursday's game versus the Islanders.
Nazar will miss Saturday's contest versus the Hurricanes and Tuesday's game against the Penguins before returning Thursday against the Jets. Roman Kantserov is likely the top option to shift to the middle as the Blackhawks navigate a stretch where they're incredibly thin at center due to this suspension.
Nazar will have a hearing Friday for an illegal check to the head against Bo Horvat.
Nazar was assessed a major penalty late in Thursday's loss to the Islanders for his hit on Horvat, and it's possible he'll face further discipline, with a believed maximum suspension of five games, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com. Across his five regular-season appearances this year, he's recorded two goals, an assist, two hits and two blocked shots while averaging 18:50 of ice time.

Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Gives up three goals in loss
Rotowire
Soderblom stopped 15 of 18 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders. New York's fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Soderblom surrendered a power-play goal to Bo Horvat late in the first period before allowing two more goals in the second, leaving Chicago facing a three-goal deficit. The Swedish netminder has had a rocky start to the season, going 0-2-0 with a 4-58 GAA and .820 save percentage in his first two outings as the backup behind Spencer Knight. Despite the defeat, Soderblom reached 3,000 career saves with Chicago, becoming the 12th goalie in franchise history to do so.

Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Scores lone goal in defeat
Rotowire
Nazar scored a goal on one shot in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.
Nazar spoiled Ilya Sorokin's shutout bid with a one-timer from the slot at 17:26 of the third period, converting a feed from Patrick Kane with Chicago's net empty for an extra attacker. The 22-year-old endured a slow start to the season and went pointless in the first three games, but he's beginning to turn things around and has notched three points (two goals, one assist) in his last two contests.
Soderblom will protect the road goal versus the Islanders on Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Soderblom will make his second start of the season, despite Spencer Knight coming off a win Tuesday versus the Blues. Soderblom gave up six goals on 32 shots versus the Mammoth in his season debut last Thursday. Until the 27-year-old shows more reliable results between the pipes, he's a risky fantasy option.
Blackhawks' Andrew Mangiapane: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Mangiapane (lower body) was put on injured reserve Wednesday.
Mangiapane's placement on IR is retroactive to Sept. 29, which is when he sustained the injury during a game against Vegas. He's considered week-to-week, so while the 30-year-old can be activated at any time, Mangiapane isn't viewed as being close to returning. Dominic Toninato was summoned from AHL Rockford in a corresponding move.

Blackhawks' Dominic Toninato: Called up Wednesday
Rotowire
Toninato was recalled from AHL Rockford on Wednesday.
Toninato was waived by the Blackhawks ahead of the regular season and subsequently sent to the minors. However, he'll rejoin the major-league club after Andrew Mangiapane (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Toninato made eight regular-season appearances for the Blackhawks last year, recording no goals, an assist, 12 hits, six PIM and a blocked shot while averaging 9:09 of ice time.

Blackhawks' Sam Rinzel: Tallies in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Rinzel scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
The official scoring fluctuated during the game -- Rinzel's goal came right at the end of a power play in the second period. For now, it's a power-play tally, and it'll count as Rinzel's first point of the season either way. The defenseman has added six shots on net, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over three appearances. The Blackhawks are carrying eight blueliners early in the year, though the injuries to Andrew Mangiapane (lower body) and Teuvo Teravainen (undisclosed) could lead the team to dress seven defensemen Thursday against the Islanders. Rinzel's not safe in the lineup, but he appears to have a little more security than Kevin Korchinski or Ethan Del Mastro.

Blackhawks' Cole Smith: Pots empty-netter
Rotowire
Smith scored a shorthanded empty-net goal in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
This was Smith's first point in four games for the Blackhawks. The forward continues to fill a bottom-six role, which was what was expected of him when he signed a three-year, $9 million contract with Chicago at the start of free agency. Smith has added three shots on net, six hits and a plus-2 rating. His physicality and defensive presence will keep him in the lineup a vast majority of the time, but he probably won't score enough to help in most fantasy formats.

Blackhawks' Anton Frondell: Earns two points Tuesday
Rotowire
Frondell scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
That's a second consecutive multi-point effort for Frondell, who looks to be getting more comfortable in a second-line spot. The center has a goal, three helpers, six shots on net, five hits and an even plus-minus rating across four contests this season. The 19-year-old rookie should already be rostered in dynasty formats, but he has the potential to produce enough offense to make waves in redraft leagues this year.
