| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Jonathan Toews  ActiveChicago has dropped three straight games. The silver lining is that they've lost all of those games by just a goal and managed to at least get a consolation point versus Anaheim on Friday. "You can't overreact to it, but you have to keep improving on the little things you do well as a team," Jonathan Toews said. "A lot of the wins we've had, especially on that road trip, were close games. We found ways to win, whether it was protecting a lead or coming back from a goal (down) or two." Chicago will try to bounce back against Florida on Sunday. Meanwhile, they have a four-point lead in the Central Division title race, but have played in four more games than the second place St. Louis Blues. Dec 7 |
| 2 | Andrew Shaw ActiveChicago Blackhawks agitator Andrew Shaw will play against the Florida Panthers on Sunday. He missed two games with an upper-body injury. Shaw has 17 points, a +1- rating, 23 PIM and 57 SOG this season. He's especially useful in hits leagues, as he already has 75 in 2013-14. Dec 8 |
| 3 | Michal Handzus ActiveMichal Handzus (illness) is healthy enough to play Friday. Handzus was sidelined for two games. He has a goal and four points in 13 contests this season. Dec 6 |
| 4 | Marcus Kruger ActiveMarcus Kruger has made significant improvements on his faceoff work this year. He has won 169 of the 309 draws he's taken for a 54.7 winning percentage, which is up from the 46.2 success rate he had last season. Kruger has done his job as part of Chicago's fourth line with Brandon Bollig and Ben Smith. He is also a key member of the team's penalty kill. In 28 games, he has contributed 12 points. Dec 2 |
| LW | 1 | Patrick Sharp ActiveLeft winger Patrick Sharp produced a goal and two assists, and the Chicago Blackhawks scored a season-high three times on the power play, in a 6-2 win over the Florida Panthers Sunday night. Sharp now has 12 goals and 15 assists. Marian Hossa (13th), Brent Seabrook (second), Andrew Shaw (ninth), Michal Handzus (second) and Brandon Saad (ninth) also potted goals for Chicago. Patrick Kane collected three assists. Dec 8 |
| 2 | Brandon Saad ActiveBrandon Saad scored the only goal for the Blackhawks in 5-1 loss to the Avalanche Tuesday night at Pepsi Center. Saad now has six goals and eight assists with plus-7 rating in 22 games. Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith assisted the lone goal. Nov 20 |
| 3 | Bryan Bickell  SidelinedBryan Bickell (lower body) didn't skate Monday, but he is making some progress. "Bickell progressed (while we were) on the trip but he's still a little bit away from jumping on the ice," coach Joel Quenneville said. "But there is some progress there." There have been some conflicting reports about what he's suffering from, with ankle and knee ailments being mentioned by sources, so we'll just continue to list him as day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Dec 2 |
| 4 | Brandon Bollig ActiveBrandon Bollig was the surprise fantasy star of Chicago's 5-1 win over Winnipeg during a matinee contest on Saturday. He recorded an impressive stat line of a game-winning goal, an assist, three shots, two penalty minutes, two hits and a plus-3 rating versus the Jets. Marcus Kruger had two assists in the match, while defenseman Nick Leddy notched a goal and a helper. Patrick Sharp, Ben Smith and Niklas Hjalmarsson had the Hawks' other tallies in the win. Nov 2 |
| RW | 1 | Patrick Kane ActivePatrick Kane is on a four-game point streak. Kane had an assist on Friday, giving him 34 points in 31 games. That puts him in a tie for third place in the NHL's scoring race. He's also tied for fourth in the Rocket Richard Trophy competition with 16 goals. Dec 7 |
| 2 | Marian Hossa ActiveMarian Hossa registered an assist in Chicago's 3-2 shootout loss on Friday. Hossa has 12 goals and 22 points in 26 games this season. He's been slowed by injuries in recent years, but he always manages to put up great numbers when he's healthy. Look for him to get 60-70 points in 2013-14. Dec 7 |
| 3 | Ben Smith ActiveBen Smith scored a goal against the Anaheim Ducks in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss. Smith now has four goals and 10 points in 24 contests. He might have some fantasy value in a couple years, but for now he isn't worth owning in standard leagues. Dec 7 |
| 4 | Kris Versteeg ActiveKris Versteeg had a goal and an assist Friday night, but it was not enough to lift the Hawks over the Ducks. Versteeg now has 14 points on the year, seven with Chicago and seven from when he was a Panther. The speedy winger though has played just 12 games with the Hawks, whereas it took him 18 games to reach seven points with Florida. Dec 6 |
| 5 | Jeremy Morin ActiveThe Chicago Blackhawks have summoned Jeremy Morin. Morin has six goals and 12 points in 13 AHL games this season. So far, he's averaged just 8:15 minutes per game with Chicago in the 2013-14 campaign and he's not likely to log substantially more playing time in this stint. Dec 4 |
| D | 1 | Duncan Keith ActiveDuncan Keith has named the NHL's third star of the week. He collected six assists in four games for the Blackhawks. Keith has earned at least one helper in seven straight games and he leads all NHL defensemen with 23 assists this season. Dec 2 |
| 2 | Brent Seabrook ActiveBrent Seabrook earned a pair of assists in Chicago's 5-4 win against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. Seabrook was also credited with four hits and two shots in the match. He has 10 points in 18 games this season and his fantasy value increases in leagues that carry hits (44) and blocked shots (29). Nov 11 |
| 3 | Niklas Hjalmarsson ActiveNiklas Hjalmarsson scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over Phoenix. Hjalmarsson has four points in his last five games. He's likely to shatter his career-high of 17 points after recording 13 points in his first 28 contests this season. Dec 1 |
| 4 | Johnny Oduya ActiveJohnny Oduya (leg) is available for Wednesday's game. Oduya was hurt while blocking a shot during Monday's game against Edmonton. He has two goals and seven points in 25 contests this season. Nov 27 |
| 5 | Nick Leddy ActiveNick Leddy registered seven shots and scored in Chicago's 4-3 loss to Dallas on Tuesday night. The Hawks blueliner has three goals and 13 points in 29 games this campaign. Leddy is on pace for another season of just over 35 points in 2013-14, which could warrant him some attention in deeper leagues. Dec 4 |
| 6 | Michal Rozsival ActiveMichal Rozsival had some dental work done after taking a puck to the face Sunday night. Coach Joel Quenneville described the defenseman's status as "not bad" on Tuesday. "We'll get him on the ice (Wednesday), hopefully he'll be fine," Quenneville added. Nov 13 |
| 7 | Sheldon Brookbank ActiveSheldon Brookbank got to play Tuesday night because Michal Handzus missed the game because of an illness. Brookbank skates mostly as a defenseman, but he can play as a forward too. He received just 7:49 of ice time against Dallas and earned an assist in Chicago's 4-3 loss. Dec 4 |
| 8 | Mike Kostka ActiveThe Chicago Blackhawks activated Mike Kostka (foot) from the injured reserve and recalled him fro the IR on Sunday. JFYI as he's not very useful in fantasy. Dec 8 |
| G | 1 | Corey Crawford ActiveStarting goalie Corey Crawford left in the first period of Chicago's 6-2 win over Florida Sunday night because of a lower-body injury. Rookie Antti Raanta, recalled after veteran backup Nikolai Khabublin was injured on Nov. 16, stopped 29 of 31 shots for the win in relief of Crawford, who made four saves. Crawford was forced out with 6:15 left in the first, and the Blackhawks ahead 2-0, moments after he went down to make a right pad save on Marcel Goc. He was unable to get back up on his skates, and had to be helped from the ice by teammates and a trainer. Raanta was able to finish the game despite being elbowed in the head by Florida's Jimmy Hayes in a collision midway through the third period. Dec 8 |
| 2 | Nikolai Khabibulin  I.L.The Chicago Blackhawks placed Nikolai Khabibulin on the injured reserve on Sunday. As mentioned earlier today, Joel Quenneville said he'll be out for "a bit." Khabibulin hasn't really been very effective this season, so if nothing else, it gives Antti Raanta a chance to impress as a temporary backup. Nov 17 |
| 3 | Antti Raanta ActiveAntti Raanta made 24 saves on 26 shots but was 0/2 in the shootout as the Blackhawks dropped a 3-2 decision to the Ducks Friday night. Raanta suffered his first loss of the season, but has still been solid since taking over the Hawks backup duties from the injured Nikolai Khabibulin. He is 2-0-1 with a .918 save percentage and 2.08 goals against average. Dec 6 |
