Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Ends slump with helper
Murphy posted an assist, three blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Stars.
Murphy's helper ended a 22-game point drought for the defenseman. He has seen steady usage on the third pairing this season, but his offense is virtually nonexistent, as he's filling a heavily defensive role to shelter the Blackhawks' younger blueliners. Murphy is at four assists, 33 shots on net, 32 PIM, 37 hits, 53 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 37 appearances.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Cold on offense
Murphy has gone 19 games without a point after coming up scoreless in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
For the season, Murphy has three helpers, 28 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 29 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-5 rating in 33 appearances. He's been a regular in the lineup as a third-pairing option. The Blackhawks went with seven blueliners early in the year but have switched to the traditional six defensemen recently, which could put Murphy at risk of occasionally being a scratch going forward. While his non-scoring production is steady, fantasy managers can find better options on the waiver wire in most formats.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Contributes two helpers
Murphy registered two assists, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.
Murphy's minutes have gone down this season with the Blackhawks frequently dressing seven blueliners. The 32-year-old has received just 15:44 of ice time per game so far, and his two helpers Thursday marked his first contributions of the year on the scoresheet. He's added 13 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, nine hits and eight PIM. With a reduced role, his fantasy value will remain low, though there is some appeal in banger leagues since he has topped 100 hits and 100 blocks in six straight campaigns.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Expected to return Saturday
Murphy (illness) is slated to play Saturday versus Winnipeg, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.
Murphy missed Thursday's 5-2 win over Boston due to the illness. He has two goals, 19 points, 48 PIM, 114 hits and 156 blocks in 65 outings in 2024-25. Murphy is projected to serve on the second pairing alongside Alec Martinez.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Ruled out for Thursday's game
Murphy has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Boston due to an illness, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
Murphy hasn't missed a game since the start of February, but he'll be unavailable for at least one matchup due to his illness, and he should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game against the Jets. Wyatt Kaiser (illness) has also been ruled out for Thursday's game, so Ethan Del Mastro and Louis Crevier will enter the lineup.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Collects two points
Murphy scored a goal on three shots, added a shorthanded assist and blocked five shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Avalanche.
Murphy snapped a 10-game point drought when he helped out on Ilya Mikheyev's first-period tally. In the second, Murphy scored for the first time since Dec. 15, but the Blackhawks' offense stalled out after that. This two-point effort helped Murphy match his career high of 19 points from the 2019-20 campaign. He's added 78 shots on net, 107 hits, 150 blocked shots, 46 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 62 appearances. The Blackhawks have seven games left, giving Murphy a little time to reach the 20-point mark for the first time, assuming he doesn't get scratched to give a younger blueliner a chance to play.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Manages assist in overtime loss
Murphy provided an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.
Murphy snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old isn't a big point producer, though he's had a good year by his own standards with 17 points over 51 appearances, putting him two shy of matching his career high. He's added 59 shots on net, 87 hits, 124 blocks, 44 PIM and a minus-2 rating. The lack of offense often gets Murphy overlooked in fantasy, but he can stabilize a virtual roster in many non-scoring areas while also not being an anchor on plus-minus despite playing for one of the worst teams in the league.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Sends three helpers in loss
Murphy notched three assists, three hits, six blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Golden Knights.
Murphy emphatically ended a 12-game point drought, which also included a 13-game stint out of the lineup due to a groin injury. The defenseman got involved on offense Thursday, helping out on goals by Ethan Del Mastro, Ilya Mikheyev and Philipp Kurashev as the Blackhawks put in a good attempt at overcoming an early 5-1 deficit. Fantasy managers don't often need to consider Murphy, but he is an option for those in formats that reward non-scoring production. He's at 16 points -- his most in five years -- while adding 51 shots on net, 40 PIM, 79 hits and 112 blocked shots across 46 appearances.

Murphy (groin) will remain unavailable for "a bit," coach Anders Sorensen told Scott Powers of The Athletic on Saturday. He was also placed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.
Murphy will miss his fifth straight game against Edmonton on Saturday. Although he can be activated whenever healthy, the Blackhawks probably wouldn't moved him to IR if he was close to returning. Murphy has a goal, 13 points, 38 PIM, 70 hits and 93 blocks in 38 outings in 2024-25. When Murphy is healthy, Louis Crevier might end up in the press box.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Dealing with groin issue
Murphy will not practice Thursday due to a groin injury, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
At this point, Murphy should be considered questionable heading into Friday's matchup with the Canadiens. The 31-year-old blueliner is pointless in his last five outings while recording 15 blocks, 12 hits and seven shots and averaging 19:32 of ice time. If Murphy does miss time, Wyatt Kaiser figures to step into his spot on the blue line.
