Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Adds helper Wednesday
Murphy posted an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Red Wings.
Murphy had opened November with a pair of scoreless efforts before assisting on a Nick Foligno goal Wednesday. Through 14 contests, Murphy has seven helpers -- putting him one point shy of matching last year's offensive output from 46 games. He's added 18 hits, 31 blocked shots, 21 PIM and 15 shots on net in 2024-25. Murphy is seeing top-four minutes, and while the offense is unlikely to last, his non-scoring production could be useful in deeper formats.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Plucks pair of apples
Murphy recorded two assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.
Murphy had a hand in goals by Ryan Donato and Tyler Bertuzzi as the Blackhawks took a 2-1 lead in the first period, though it didn't last. This was Murphy's first multi-point effort since Dec. 21, 2022. He's picked up all six of his helpers this season over the last six games, and he's added a plus-3 rating, 12 shots on net, 12 hits, 19 PIM and 21 blocked shots across 11 appearances. Murphy should continue to see top-four minutes on a young blue line, but his scoring productivity won't last.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Pockets assist in win
Murphy notched an assist, two PIM, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Murphy is on a surprisingly strong run, earning all four of his assists this season over the last five games. The 31-year-old blueliner typically doesn't chip in offense that frequently while playing in a shutdown role. For the season, he's added 20 blocked shots, 19 PIM, 14 hits, 12 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 10 contests while averaging 18:08 of ice time, down from 19:50 per game last season.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Slides helper Friday
Murphy notched an assist and two PIM in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Predators.
Murphy has earned an assist in three straight games. The 31-year-old defenseman doesn't produce offense with that consistency, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to keep it going. He's recorded three helpers, 11 shots on net, 15 PIM, nine hits and 15 blocked shots across eight contests this season.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Collects assist in loss
Murphy notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.
Murphy earned his first point of the year on the second of Craig Smith's two goals in the game. The 31-year-old Murphy doesn't often put up much offense, adding mostly physical production, though he had no hits or blocked shots Saturday. The veteran blueliner has seven hits, 14 blocks, 11 PIM, seven shots on net and a minus-1 rating through six outings this season. Over the last 10 regular seasons, he's reached 100 hits each time and fell short of 100 blocks just once in that span. Murphy has never produced a 20-point campaign.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: On training camp roster
Murphy is healthy and will be participating in training camp, the team announced Tuesday.
Murphy missed the regular-season finale in 2023-24 due to an undisclosed injury. It's not clear whether this issue was related to Murphy's groin injury that kept him out of the lineup from mid-January to the beginning of April. Either way, the 11-year NHL veteran should fill a bottom-four role on defense while also serving on the penalty kill. The 31-year-old defenseman has collected 141 points throughout his career in 677 regular-season appearances.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Will miss season finale
Murphy (undisclosed) will miss the season finale against LA on Thursday because he tweaked something during Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Vegas, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
It's unclear if Murphy's current issue is related to the groin injury that kept him out of the lineup from Jan. 16-April 10. Either way, he will conclude the campaign with two goals, eight points, 40 PIM, 116 hits and 113 blocks in 46 appearances. Murphy is inked to a four-year, $17.6 million contract through 2025-26, so he should feature on the Blackhawks' blue line again next season, likely in a bottom-four role.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Activated off injured reserve
Murphy (groin) has been taken off injured reserve ahead of Friday's matchup with Nashville.
Murphy looks set to return to the lineup for the first time since Jan. 13 against Dallas, a stretch of 35 games on injured reserve. The defenseman will likely slot into Nikita Zaitsev's spot on the blue line, though that may depend on whether the Hawks decide to have Ethan Del Mastro make his NHL debut.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Hopes to return Wednesday
Murphy (groin) is hoping to rejoin the lineup against St. Louis on Wednesday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Murphy won't be an option to face Dallas or Minnesota on Saturday or Sunday, respectively, but he seems to be nearing a return to action. The blueliner has been shelved since Jan. 13 versus the Stars, a stretch of 32 games on IR due to his groin problem. If Murphy can pick up just two more points, he will reach the 10-point threshold for the ninth consecutive campaign.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Still without timeline
Murphy (groin) remains out indefinitely with no clear time frame to get back into action, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports Tuesday.
Murphy has already been out of the lineup for the last 13 games and looks no closer to actually returning to the ice. With just one goal and three assists in his last 16 outings, few fantasy players will be anxiously awaiting his return. Still, the blueliner could offer some value in formats that utilize hits and blocks.

Murphy's lower-body injury isn't believed to be overly serious, so he can be considered day-to-day for now. Either way, he's only picked up eight points through 43 contests this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to keep tabs on the 30-year-old defender's status.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Nets lone goal in loss
Murphy scored a goal, added two hits and blocked three shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.
Murphy's two goals this season have come in the last 16 games, a span in which he's added three assists. He'll never be confused with Bobby Orr -- Murphy can chip in the occasional point, but he's much more of a shutdown defenseman who has been pressed into a larger role during Seth Jones' absence due to a shoulder injury, which is nearing an end. Murphy has eight points, 44 shots on net, 91 hits, 103 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-19 rating through 42 appearances.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Contributes helper in overtime win
Murphy recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Jets.
Murphy snapped a six-game point drought with his assist on Connor Bedard's first-period marker. With three points in December, this has been Murphy's most productive month of the campaign. The stay-at-home blueliner has five points, 38 shots on net, 72 hits, 90 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 34 appearances overall, so he's not much of an option for most fantasy formats.

Blackhawks' Connor Murphy: Nets first goal this season
Murphy netted a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.
Murphy cut Chicago's deficit to 4-2 late in the third period, ripping a one-timer past Darcy Kuemper. It's the first goal of the year for Murphy, who now has points in back-to-back contests following a 12-game scoreless streak. He's now up to four points (a goal and three assists) through 27 games this season. While Murphy should continue to see heavy usage in a top-four role, he shouldn't be counted on to provide much offense. He's yet to reach the 20-point threshold through 10 NHL seasons.
