Murphy posted an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Red Wings. Murphy had opened November with a pair of scoreless efforts before assisting on a Nick Foligno goal Wednesday. Through 14 contests, Murphy has seven helpers -- putting him one point shy of matching last year's offensive output from 46 games. He's added 18 hits, 31 blocked shots, 21 PIM and 15 shots on net in 2024-25. Murphy is seeing top-four minutes, and while the offense is unlikely to last, his non-scoring production could be useful in deeper formats.

Murphy recorded two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks. Murphy had a hand in goals by Ryan Donato and Tyler Bertuzzi as the Blackhawks took a 2-1 lead in the first period, though it didn't last. This was Murphy's first multi-point effort since Dec. 21, 2022. He's picked up all six of his helpers this season over the last six games, and he's added a plus-3 rating, 12 shots on net, 12 hits, 19 PIM and 21 blocked shots across 11 appearances. Murphy should continue to see top-four minutes on a young blue line, but his scoring productivity won't last.

Murphy notched an assist, two PIM, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche. Murphy is on a surprisingly strong run, earning all four of his assists this season over the last five games. The 31-year-old blueliner typically doesn't chip in offense that frequently while playing in a shutdown role. For the season, he's added 20 blocked shots, 19 PIM, 14 hits, 12 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 10 contests while averaging 18:08 of ice time, down from 19:50 per game last season.

Murphy notched an assist and two PIM in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Predators. Murphy has earned an assist in three straight games. The 31-year-old defenseman doesn't produce offense with that consistency, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to keep it going. He's recorded three helpers, 11 shots on net, 15 PIM, nine hits and 15 blocked shots across eight contests this season.

Murphy notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres. Murphy earned his first point of the year on the second of Craig Smith's two goals in the game. The 31-year-old Murphy doesn't often put up much offense, adding mostly physical production, though he had no hits or blocked shots Saturday. The veteran blueliner has seven hits, 14 blocks, 11 PIM, seven shots on net and a minus-1 rating through six outings this season. Over the last 10 regular seasons, he's reached 100 hits each time and fell short of 100 blocks just once in that span. Murphy has never produced a 20-point campaign.
