• Blackhawks' Alex Vlasic: Sends assist on power play

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Vlasic notched a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Panthers. Vlasic snapped his six-game dry spell when he helped out on Teuvo Teravainen's first-period tally. The 23-year-old Vlasic has taken on a larger role since Seth Jones (foot) exited the lineup following last Thursday's game in Seattle. Vlasic is on the top power-play unit and also features on the first pairing, giving him more ice time with the Blackhawks' best players. The defenseman has eight helpers (four on the power play), 21 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 20 appearances. He's halfway to matching his point total from last season, and he's worth considering in deeper fantasy formats.

The presence of Seth Jones limits Vlasic to the second power-play unit, but it's not hampering the youngster's performance.

The 23-year-old has added 10 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, nine hits and an even plus-minus rating while seeing steady top-four usage and power-play time.

The defenseman has a minus-4 rating so far, but he's also earned three assists, seven shots on net and 19 blocked shots while seeing power-play time.
