Chisholm logged an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
Chisholm poked a puck loose, and Mats Zuccarello picked up the loose change before firing it long-distance into the net while Yaroslav Askarov was on his way to the bench for an extra attacker. The helper snapped a four-game slump for Chisholm. He's been asked to fill a larger role, including a spot on the power play, while the Wild are without their three best blueliners in Brock Faber (upper body), Jared Spurgeon (lower body) and Jonas Brodin (lower body). For the season, Chisholm has 11 points, 43 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 37 appearances. He's often been in a bottom-four role, but he's worth streaming in deeper formats due to his improved spot in the lineup for the time being.
Chisholm scored a power-play goal Tuesday in a 5-3 win over the Predators.
The 24-year-old defender has quietly put up a point (one goal, two assists) in each of his last three games. Chisholm may be in line for a bit more playing time because Jared Spurgeon was forced from Tuesday's game due to a lower-body injury that put the older defender in a leg brace and on crutches after the game. Chisholm has strong offensive instincts, and he can move the puck well.

Wild's Declan Chisholm: Produces assist Friday
Rotowire
Chisholm logged an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars.
Chisholm picked up his second assist over 12 contests in December. The 24-year-old helped out on Marcus Foligno's game-tying goal at 11:33 of the third period. Chisholm has done fine in a bottom-four role this season, collecting eight points, 35 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 30 appearances. That's roughly in line with the nine points in 31 contests he had between Winnipeg and Minnesota in 2023-24.

Wild's Declan Chisholm: Finds helper in win
Rotowire
Chisholm logged an assist, three shots on goal, four blocked shots and two hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.
Chisholm has two points over his last 10 games, which is how long he's been in the lineup since he was last scratched. The 24-year-old has carved out a bottom-four role and sees some power-play time on the second unit. For the season, he has a goal, six helpers, 30 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. Chisholm's spot in the lineup should be fairly safe -- the Wild welcomed back Jonas Brodin (upper body) but will be without Jacob Middleton (hand) until January.

Wild's Declan Chisholm: Scores first goal of season
Rotowire
Chisholm scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Chisholm opened the scoring late in the first period with a slap shot after being set up by Frederick Gaudreau. The 24-year-old Chisholm got his first goal of 2024-25 and his sixth point across 18 games this season. He doesn't produce enough offensively to be worthy of much fantasy attention.

Wild's Declan Chisholm: Absent from practice
Rotowire
Chisholm wasn't on the ice for Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Chisholm appeared in 29 regular-season games for the Wild last year after they acquired him from Winnipeg. In those outings, the 24-year-old blueliner recorded three goals and five assists, including five power-play points. While he might struggle for regular minutes with the man advantage this year, in part due to the return of Jared Spurgeon, Chisholm should be a regular in the lineup. If he can't play Thursday against the Jackets, Jon Merrill figures to step into a third-pairing role.

Wild's Declan Chisholm: Power-play goal in loss
Rotowire
Chisholm scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Chisholm cut the Avs' lead to 3-2 midway through the second period, beating Justus Annunen from the circle on the man advantage. It's Chisholm's first goal since his debut with Minnesota on Feb. 17 -- the 24-year-old blueliner had just four assists in 20 games coming into Thursday's contest despite seeing steady power-play minutes. Overall, Chisholm has two goals and seven points in 24 games between the Wild and Jets this season.

Jets' Declan Chisholm: Headed back to minors
Rotowire
Chisholm was demoted to AHL Manitoba on Thursday.
Chisholm's reassignment comes as Neal Pionk cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols. With Logan Stanley (lower body) also nearing a return, Chisholm's services may not be needed for a while at the NHL level. Still, the 22-year-old defenseman has tallied 16 points in 31 minor-league contests and should remain near the top of the shortlist of potential call-ups.

Jets' Declan Chisholm: Will suit up Thursday
Rotowire
Chisholm will jump into the lineup versus the Red Wings on Thursday.
Chisholm will be making his NHL debut against Detroit after spending the past two seasons playing in the minors. In 55 outings for the Moose, the 2018 fifth-round selection has notched eight goals and 19 helpers. If he can continue to display that level of offensive production, Chisholm should challenge for a full-time spot on the NHL roster sooner rather than later.

Jets' Declan Chisholm: Excelling at junior level
Rotowire
Chisholm picked up a goal and added two assists in OHL Peterborough's 6-5 overtime win over Niagara on Thursday.
Chisholm has quickly established himself as one of the NHL's better defensive prospects. The 2018 fifth-rounder (150th overall) already has 25 assists and 27 points in just 19 games this season. He is second among all OHL defensemen in scoring and tied for third overall in assists. Credit goes to the Winnipeg scouting staff for finding a potential top-four regular so late in the draft.
