Ryan Donato - Adds power-play helper Donato logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.
Impact Donato snapped a four-game slump with the helper. The 28-year-old forward continues to be a factor on the top power-play unit, though he has moved around the lineup at even strength. He's managed to generate 16 points, 68 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-1 rating through 27 outings this season. Donato is on pace for a career year, so he may have some fantasy value in deeper formats, particularly those that count hits.

Nick Foligno - Registers helper in loss Foligno posted an assist and three hits in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.
Impact Foligno has a pair of helpers over his last four games. The 37-year-old winger was on the fourth line Thursday, though he's routinely logging middle-six minutes regardless of where he's listed in the lineup. For the season, he's produced 12 points, 42 shots on net, 85 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-9 rating while averaging 16:56 of ice time over 29 appearances.

Alex Vlasic - Two helpers in loss Vlasic recorded two assists and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.
Impact Vlasic has two goals and four assists over his last seven outings. The defenseman was in on the Blackhawks' first and last goals in the contest, including Connor Bedard's power-play marker in the first period. Vlasic is up to 14 points (eight on the power play), 45 shots on net, 64 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 29 appearances. He's two points shy of matching his production from 76 games in 2023-24.

Ryan Pulock - Nabs helper in Thursday's win Pulock recorded an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Pulock has five helpers over his last 16 contests. In that same span, he has 27 hits and 37 blocked shots -- he continues to make more of an impact physically than with offense. Pulock is at 10 helpers, 43 shots on net, 48 hits, 70 blocks and a plus-4 rating over 31 outings in a top-four role.

Dennis Cholowski - Tallies in win Cholowski scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Cholowski has four points over his last six outings, and he continues to log time on the second power-play unit. The 26-year-old defenseman has helped the Islanders weather the storm with injuries on the blue line. He's at eight points -- his most in a season since 2019-20 -- with 19 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 21 appearances. Once Adam Pelech (jaw) is ready to return, the last spot on defense will likely come down to Cholowski or rookie Isaiah George.
