Chiarot scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers.
Chiarot has a goal and an assist over his last two contests, marking the first time he's been on the scoresheet in consecutive games this season. The 33-year-old blueliner continues to fill a shutdown role in the top four. He's produced five points, 34 shots on net, 39 PIM, 45 hits and 62 blocked shots over 29 outings, though that also comes with a minus-11 rating indicative of heavy usage on a weaker team.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Sends helper Monday
Rotowire
Chiarot logged an assist and three hits in Monday's 6-5 shootout win over the Sabres.
Chiarot has picked up two helpers over his last six games. The 33-year-old remains in a top-four role, but his offense is likely to be limited due to the defensive nature of his play. For the season, he has four assists, 31 shots on net, 39 PIM, 43 hits, 62 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 28 contests.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Finds assist in loss
Rotowire
Chiarot notched an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and four PIM in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Devils.
Chiarot snapped an 18-game point drought with his helper Friday. He has 10 PIM over his last three games -- Chiarot isn't afraid to play tough, but if the penalties get sloppy, he could lose playing time. The defenseman is at three assists, 27 shots on net, 31 PIM, 34 hits, 51 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 23 outings. The 33-year-old plays a stay-at-home style, so a lack of offense shouldn't some as a surprise.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Quiet on offense
Rotowire
Chiarot's scoring drought reached 14 games in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Chiarot is a shutdown defenseman in the Red Wings' top four, but this is a brutal slump even by his standards. He's reached the 20-point mark in two of the last three years and missed by one point in the other campaign in that span. He's opened 2024-25 with two assists, 22 shots on net, 21 PIM, 25 hits, 41 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 18 appearances. Chiarot's not in any obvious danger of being scratched, but he won't be much of a factor in fantasy as long as his offense is cold.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Sends helper in win
Rotowire
Chiarot notched an assist, two hits, four blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
Chiarot has a helper, four hits and six blocks through two contests. His spot on the top pairing will help him pick up some ancillary offense when he gets minutes with the Red Wings' big names, and he even saw time on the second power-play unit Saturday. Chiarot's best season was a 26-point campaign split between Montreal and Florida in 2021-22, though he has reached the 20-point mark in four of the last six seasons while adding ample physical play.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Caps off well-rounded campaign
Rotowire
Chiarot finished with five goals, 15 assists, 163 hits and 167 blocked shots for the 2023-24 campaign.
Chiarot averaged 19:47 of ice time in his second season with the Red Wings. He's a serviceable blueliner, albeit not the type that will captivate the masses in fantasy hockey. Chiarot's power-play role was left behind in Montreal when the Habs dealt him to the Panthers in March of 2022, and the Wings have since rendered him more of a stay-at-home style of defenseman. Chiarot is halfway through a four-year, $19 million deal with the Wings, which has a modified no-trade clause baked in there as well.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Registers helper in defeat
Rotowire
Chiarot recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
Chiarot provided the secondary helper on the first of two goals for burgeoning winger Lucas Raymond. As a second-pairing defenseman who rarely works on the power play, Chiarot isn't the type of player that fantasy managers generally covet. However, the veteran is mixing it up a bit, pairing 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) with 130 hits and 135 blocked shots through 63 games.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Scores in overtime
Rotowire
Chiarot potted a goal in overtime in the 4-3 win over the Kraken on Monday.
Chiarot pinched in from the point, took a cross-ice pass from Dylan Larkin and wristed it top shelf over Seattle goalie Joey Daccord 1:07 into overtime. Chiarot added two PIM, two shots on net and a plus-2 rating in 20:39 of ice time. It was only the fourth goal and 14th point through 50 games on the season for the 32-year old defenseman. He has never hit double-digit goals in his career and has topped the 20-point mark just three times, most recently in 2021-22.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Produces assist in loss
Rotowire
Chiarot notched an assist, two hits, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Oilers.
Chiarot snapped a three-game drought with the helper in his second game back after missing five with an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old blueliner has 13 points, 65 shots on net, 94 hits, 101 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 47 appearances. His defense-first role means that fantasy managers don't need to track his production closely despite his top-four usage for the Red Wings.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Slides assist in Sweden
Rotowire
Chiarot contributed an assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs as part of the Global Series in Sweden.
Chiarot was the primary distributor on a Lucas Raymond tally to put the Red Wings up 2-0 heading into the third period, but the Maple Leafs dominated the final frame for some extra excitement in Stockholm. Chiarot has crafted four assists over his last five games, which has him on a career-best offensive pace of 28 points. Still, he is off the power play and that's the major drag on his fantasy value.

The 32-year-old Chiarot isn't known to put up a lot of offense, but he has been a steady defensive presence so far with a plus-6 rating, 11 blocked shots and eight hits through six outings. He should continue to play in a top-four role.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Gets on scoreboard
Rotowire
Chiarot brushed twine in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.
Chiarot telegraphed a wrist shot past goaltender Tristan Jarry for his first point of the season. While he had an abbreviated training camp in order to deal with a personal matter, Chiarot didn't take long to settle back into the mix as a second-pairing defenseman. He's not a coveted fantasy option, though he'll almost assuredly get his fair share of hits and blocked shots this campaign.
