COLTON DACH NEWS

Nets equalizer Sunday Dach scored a power-play goal and added two hits in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.

Impact Dach's tally tied the game at 3-3 in the second period, erasing what had been a three-goal deficit for Chicago. Over his previous six games, Dach had been limited to one assist. The 22-year-old forward has been a regular in the Blackhawks' lineup as a bottom-six option, earning three goals, three helpers, 33 shots on net, 94 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 25 appearances, production largely similar to what he had in the same number of outings in 2024-25.

Nets game-winning goal Dach scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Dach broke the tie late in the third period with a tip-in at the 15:35 mark. This was his second goal of the season, and first since Oct. 28, so even if he played a big role in this victory, the 22-year-old doesn't have a lot of upside in most formats.

Pots first goal of season Dach scored a goal in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Senators. He also added two shots on goal, six hits and two blocked shots.

Impact Dach isn't known for his scoring contributions as a bottom-six forward, but he made his presence felt after scoring at the 6:47 mark of the first period. His goal -- which also happened to be his first of the campaign -- broke the deadlock in a game where Chicago would rout Ottawa to the tune of seven goals. Dach should remain a valuable bottom-six forward for the Blackhawks, but with only three points in 10 games so far, his fantasy upside is very limited outside of leagues that reward points for physicality stats, such as hits and blocked shots. Dach has 44 hits and six blocked shots already.

Draws assist Dach notched an assist, two shots on goal and six hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.

Impact Dach saw 13:22 of ice time while being listed on the first line, though the left-wing spot alongside Connor Bedard has been a revolving door through two games. The helper was Dach's first point of the season to go with three shots and 10 hits. If his offense cooperates, he could be a burgeoning power forward in 2025-26, so fantasy managers in deeper formats will want to keep an eye on his usage.
