Ends slump with helper Murphy posted an assist, three blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Stars.

Impact Murphy's helper ended a 22-game point drought for the defenseman. He's seen steady usage on the third pairing this season, but his offense is virtually non-existent, as he's filling a heavily defensive role to shelter the Blackhawks' younger blueliners. Murphy is at four assists, 33 shots on net, 32 PIM, 37 hits, 53 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 37 appearances.

Cold on offense Murphy has gone 19 games without a point after coming up scoreless in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact For the season, Murphy has three helpers, 28 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 29 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-5 rating in 33 appearances. He's been a regular in the lineup as a third-pairing option. The Blackhawks went with seven blueliners early in the year but have switched to the traditional six defensemen recently, which could put Murphy at risk of occasionally being a scratch going forward. While his non-scoring production is steady, fantasy managers can find better options on the waiver wire in most formats.

Contributes two helpers Murphy registered two assists, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.

Impact Murphy's minutes have gone down this season with the Blackhawks frequently dressing seven blueliners. The 32-year-old has averaged just 15:44 per game so far, and his two helpers Thursday marked his first contributions of the year on the scoresheet. He's added 13 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, nine hits and eight PIM. With a reduced role, his fantasy value will remain low, though there is some appeal in banger leagues since he has topped 100 hits and 100 blocks in six straight campaigns.
