• Blackhawks' Alec Martinez: Opens scoring in win

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Martinez scored a goal and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kings. Martinez tallied against his former team at 10:57 of the first period, though the Blackhawks' initial lead lasted less than a minute. Since the start of February, Martinez has three goals and three assists over 10 outings. The 37-year-old is poised to at least temporarily see power-play time following Chicago's deal to send Seth Jones to Florida. Martinez could ultimately lose his role with the man advantage to a younger defenseman like Ethan Del Mastro or Wyatt Kaiser. For the season, Martinez has 12 points, 34 shots on net, 74 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating across 34 appearances.

• Blackhawks' Alec Martinez: Hands out pair of assists

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Martinez notched two assists in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Ducks. Martinez has two goals and three assists over his last eight games. One of his helpers Saturday came on the power play -- he could be in contention to play on the second unit following the Blackhawks' trade of Seth Jones to the Panthers. Martinez will likely have to compete with Ethan Del Mastro for power-play time, while Alex Vlasic is set to take over on the first unit. The 37-year-old Martinez is up to nine points, 33 shots on net, 73 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 33 appearances this season and will typically operate as more of a shutdown defenseman in even-strength situations.

  Martinez produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blues. The veteran blueliner collected his first multi-point performance of the season, having a hand in a Craig Smith tally in the first period before finding the back of the net himself early in the third on a one-timer from the slot. Martinez doesn't offer a lot of offensive upside, and through 13 games since a month-long absence due to a neck issue, he's managed three goals and five points.
