Rare multi-point effort Wednesday Murphy scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked four shots, logged two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Blues.

Impact Murphy scored at 8:57 of the second period and helped out on a Landon Slaggert goal just 3:30 later. The 32-year-old Murphy has done little on offense this season, though he has earned five points over his last seven outings. He's up to a total of one goal, seven assists, 38 shots on net, 43 hits, 63 blocked shots, 39 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 43 appearances, mainly in a bottom-four role.

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.

Expected to return Saturday Murphy (illness) is slated to play Saturday versus Winnipeg, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Impact Murphy missed Thursday's 5-2 win over Boston due to the illness. He has two goals, 19 points, 48 PIM, 114 hits and 156 blocks in 65 outings in 2024-25. Murphy is projected to serve on the second pairing alongside Alec Martinez.

Ruled out for Thursday's game Murphy has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Boston due to an illness, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Impact Murphy hasn't missed a game since the start of February, but he'll be unavailable for at least one matchup due to his illness, and he should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game against the Jets. Wyatt Kaiser (illness) has also been ruled out for Thursday's game, so Ethan Del Mastro and Louis Crevier will enter the lineup.

Collects two points Murphy scored a goal on three shots, added a shorthanded assist and blocked five shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Murphy snapped a 10-game point drought when he helped out on Ilya Mikheyev's first-period tally. In the second, Murphy scored for the first time since Dec. 15, but the Blackhawks' offense stalled out after that. This two-point effort helped Murphy match his career high of 19 points from the 2019-20 campaign. He's added 78 shots on net, 107 hits, 150 blocked shots, 46 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 62 appearances. The Blackhawks have seven games left, giving Murphy a little time to reach the 20-point mark for the first time, assuming he doesn't get scratched to give a younger blueliner a chance to play.

Manages assist in overtime loss Murphy provided an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators.

Impact Murphy snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old isn't a big point producer, though he's had a good year by his own standards with 17 points over 51 appearances, putting him two shy of matching his career high. He's added 59 shots on net, 87 hits, 124 blocks, 44 PIM and a minus-2 rating. The lack of offense often gets Murphy overlooked in fantasy, but he can stabilize a virtual roster in many non-scoring areas while also not being an anchor on plus-minus despite playing for one of the worst teams in the league.
