Brodzinski produced an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.

Brodzinski has two points over his last three games since he took over as the third-line center. The 31-year-old is up to a total of eight points, 26 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 23 appearances. His ice time is still pretty limited, so it's unlikely he'll be consistent enough to help in most fantasy formats, especially with a lack of non-scoring production.

Dickinson (lower body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Oilers.

Dickinson had trouble getting off the ice after sustaining the injury in the second period. The Blackhawks did not provide a specific update beyond ruling him out for the rest of the contest. It's unclear if Dickinson will be able to play in an upcoming back-to-back, which sees the Blackhawks host the Predators on Friday before visiting the Blues on Saturday.

Zibanejad notched two assists, one while shorthanded, and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.

This was Zibanejad's second multi-point effort in a row, and he's earned six points over his last three outings. He set up Artemi Panarin on the opening goal and Chris Kreider on a shorthanded tally that stood as the game-winner. Zibanejad is up to 35 points, 120 shots on net, 35 blocks and a minus-24 rating over 53 appearances. He's played on the right wing since the Rangers traded for J.T. Miller, and the extra positional flexibility Zibanejad could eventually receive will bolster his fantasy value, especially if he stays productive on offense.

Trocheck scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged three hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.

Trocheck had been held off the scoresheet over the previous three contests. He may be adjusting to a new linemate, as he's centering Reilly Smith and Alexis Lafreniere since the Rangers brought in J.T. Miller via trade. Trocheck won't be a leader on offense, but he can chip in good all-around production. He's at 16 goals, 33 points, 137 shots on net, 153 hits, 56 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 53 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Henrique (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Wednesday versus the Blackhawks.

Henrique was out for an undisclosed reason Tuesday versus the Blues, but Knoblauch's pregame comments indicate the center may have been sick with a bug that's been going around the team's personnel. The 34-year-old Henrique is likely to return in a bottom-six role. Knoblauch did not specify who would come out of the lineup to make way for Henrique's return.

Dach was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Wednesday.

Dach produced four points over 13 NHL outings during his first stint with the big club. He was held off the scoresheet in his last three games and also got scratched once in that span. Craig Smith (back) returned from injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Holloway notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Holloway's offense has faltered a little with just two points and a minus-5 rating over his last five contests, though both of those points have come on the power play. His ice time remains steady in a top-six role. The 23-year-old forward is up to 16 goals, 23 helpers, nine power-play points, 122 shots on net, 119 hits and a plus-9 rating across 54 games.

Schenn recorded a power-play assist and nine hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

No other player on either team had more than four hits. Schenn's nine hits were a season high, and he snapped a five-game point drought with the helper for an altogether productive effort. He's at 30 points (five on the power play), 98 shots on net, 48 PIM, 136 hits and a minus-6 rating across 54 appearances this season.

Wennberg (upper body) is not expected back prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports Wednesday.

Wennberg has already missed two games due to his upper-body issue and now will be on the shelf for at least two more. Prior to his absence, the 30-year-old center was stuck in a 19-game goal drought during which he notched seven assists, 13 shots and 16 blocks while averaging 17:32 of ice time.

Dellandrea (upper body) might be able to return Thursday versus Vancouver, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Dellandrea has missed the Sharks' past four games. He has a goal, five points, 31 PIM and 99 hits in 41 outings in 2024-25. When he's healthy, Dellandrea will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity.
