  • Blackhawks' Anton Frondell: Earns two helpers in loss

    Frondell logged two assists and three shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.

    Frondell has four helpers over his first four NHL games. His second assist Sunday was his first career power-play point. The 18-year-old got a look at center in this contest, but he went just 2-for-9 at the dot. He'll have time to either develop down the middle or focus on a shift to the wing in the next few years as the Blackhawks work to build a winning roster through a draft-and-develop pathway.

  • Blackhawks' Ilya Mikheyev: Finds twine Sunday

    Mikheyev scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.

    Mikheyev has scored three times over the last seven contests despite the Blackhawks scoring just 14 times in that span. The 31-year-old winger provides a veteran presence in the middle six and continues to handle plenty of tough assignments as a steady defensive forward. Mikheyev is up to 15 goals, 29 points, 110 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over 69 appearances this season.

    Blackhawks' Frank Nazar: Two goals in Sunday's loss

    Nazar scored twice on seven shots, added two hits and went minus-2 in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.

    Nazar scored at even strength in the first period and on the power play in the third. He gave the Blackhawks a one-goal lead each time, but neither advantage lasted. The 22-year-old has logged six multi-point efforts in March, but he's also been held off the scoresheet seven times over 15 contests this month, showing some inconsistency from a middle-six role. Overall, the center has a career-high 14 goals to go with 24 assists, 10 power-play points, 123 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 31 hits and a minus-15 rating across 58 appearances.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Loses third straight game

    Knight allowed four goals on 39 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Devils. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

    Knight is 0-2-1 with 12 goals allowed on 114 shots over his last three games. He's faced at least 30 shots in seven of his eight outings in March, and that heavy volume behind a young and shaky defense isn't leading to good results. Knight is down to 18-21-10 with a 2.71 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 49 appearances this season. The Blackhawks' next game is at home Tuesday versus the Jets before they head out west for another road trip.

  • Devils' Nico Hischier: Supplies pair of helpers

    Hischier logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

    Hischier had a hand in Simon Nemec's second-period tally and also set up Jack Hughes on the empty-netter to seal the win. With five goals and seven assists over his last eight outings, a span that includes four multi-point efforts, Hischier is rolling on offense late in the campaign. The Swiss center is up to 58 points (26 goals, 32 assists), 193 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 54 hits and a minus-6 rating across 73 appearances this season.

  • Simon Nemec D | CGY

    Devils' Simon Nemec: Pots goal in win

    Nemec scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

    Nemec's goal tied the game at 2-2 in the second period. The 22-year-old defenseman has two goals and three assists over his last nine contests, though he's also gone minus-5 in that span. There are still some flaws in his game, but Nemec has done well to be a full-time NHL player this year. He's up to 11 goals, 26 points, 89 shots on net, 85 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 59 outings.

  • Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Nets tying goal

    Hamilton scored a goal on four shots, added four hits and blocked three shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

    Hamilton provided a third equalizer for the Devils at 14:32 of the third period, and Jack Hughes put them ahead just 19 seconds later. The 32-year-old Hamilton has played pretty well with 12 points and a plus-1 rating over 16 contests since the Olympic break. He's up to 11 goals, 33 points, 184 shots on net, 81 hits, 72 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 68 appearances this season. It's the first time since 2022-23 that the blueliner has reached double-digit goals.

  • Connor Brown RW | NJ

    Devils' Connor Brown: Scores on power play in win

    Brown scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

    Brown's goal tied the game at 1-1 in the first period. The 32-year-old winger has four goals and five assists over his last eight contests as he continues to excel in a top-six role while seeing time in all situations. Brown is up to 15 goals, 37 points, 99 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 66 appearances. He is three points away from securing the second 40-point campaign of his career.

  • Jack Hughes C | NJ

    Devils' Jack Hughes: Four-point burst in win

    Hughes scored twice on eight shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

    Hughes' first assist came on the power play. The 24-year-old clutched up late in the game, scoring the go-ahead tally at 14:51 of the third period before adding the empty-netter to seal the deal. He has multiple points in eight of 13 contests in March, racking up 10 goals and 14 helpers this month. For the season, the 24-year-old center is up to 22 tallies, 63 points (21 on the power play), 190 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 52 appearances. Aside from another year disrupted by injuries, Hughes has been just about all fantasy managers could ask for.

  • Jake Allen G | NJ

    Devils' Jake Allen: Picks up win Sunday

    Allen stopped 28 of 31 shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blackhawks.

    Allen has allowed 12 goals over his last four outings, but his best performance in that span was his one loss. With the Devils all but officially out of the playoff race, Allen has started to get a bit more playing time to avoid overworking Jacob Markstrom. For the season, Allen is up to 15-16-1 with a 2.69 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 33 appearances, numbers nearly identical to what he did in 2024-25. He's a solid backup and could be worth a look in fantasy when he gets favorable matchups. The Devils' next game is just that as they visit the Rangers on Tuesday, though it will likely be Markstrom between the pipes for that one.
