Snags helper in win Del Mastro recorded an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact This was Del Mastro's first point in 19 games this season. The 23-year-old defenseman added 18 shots on net, 18 PIM, 19 hits and 22 blocked shots while primarily playing on the third pairing. Del Mastro isn't as far along as some of the other Blackhawks' blue-line prospects, so it's possible he'll see more time in the AHL in 2026-27, barring a strong training camp in the fall.

Suiting up versus Sabres Del Mastro (undisclosed) will play in Monday's clash with Buffalo, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Impact Del Mastro has failed to generate a point in 17 games for the Hawks this year, so few fantasy managers figure to be impacted by his return to the lineup. Given his offensive limitations, the 23-year-old defenseman doesn't offer enough category coverage to make him more than a low-end depth piece heading into 2026-27.

APRIL 11 • Associated Press

Dealing with undisclosed injury Del Mastro (undisclosed) wasn't an option for Saturday's game against St. Louis, per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

Impact Del Mastro has no points, 14 shots, 18 PIM, 18 hits and 20 blocks in 17 outings in 2025-26. He's averaged just 14:01 of ice time when he's in the lineup, so the 23-year-old shouldn't be counted on to be more than part of the third pairing if he becomes available again before the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from AHL Del Mastro was recalled from AHL Rockford on Tuesday.

Impact Del Mastro has two goals and 16 assists in 45 minor-league appearances this season. However, he hasn't earned a point in a pair of NHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign while posting three shots on goal, three blocked shots and six hits.

Impact Del Mastro was recalled Dec. 15 and only played once, playing 15:07 in Toronto on Dec. 16. He was a healthy scratch in 10 straight games and will get in some much needed playing time in Rockford, where he had one goal and 10 assists in 27 AHL games before his recall.

Promoted from minors Del Mastro was called up from AHL Rockford on Monday.

Impact Del Mastro has appeared in one NHL game this season in which he logged 17:35 of ice time while recording six hits, two blocks and one shot. Even with his promotion from the minors, Del Mastro is far from a lock to suit up versus the Maple Leafs on Tuesday and is more likely to serve as an emergency depth option for the club's three-game road trip.

Loaned to AHL Rockford Del Mastro was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Friday.

Impact The 22-year-old defenseman played Opening Night in Florida, accumulating six hits and two blocked shots in 17:35 of action.

Del Mastro played 24 regular-season games at the NHL level last season, scoring twice while adding four assists.

Impact Del Mastro will get in added experience as the IceHogs are playoff-bound in the AHL. Del Mastro had two goals, four assists, 40 hits and 21 blocked shots over 24 appearances with Chicago in 2024-25. The 22-year-old spent 42 games with AHL Rockford , accumulating eight assists before his recall.

Slings assist Wednesday Del Mastro logged an assist and four hits in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Del Mastro has an assist in each of his last two games, but he was scratched once in between those contests. The 22-year-old defenseman will be in a fierce competition for playing time over the last couple of weeks of the season, as Louis Crevier and Kevin Korchinski are among the young blueliners that could get a look on the third pairing. Del Mastro is up to six points, 18 shots on net, 39 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 23 appearances in 2024-25.

APRIL 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Manages assist in loss Del Mastro logged an assist in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Del Mastro has played in all but one game in March, but he's been limited to three points over 13 appearances. The 22-year-old defenseman has mostly served in a bottom-four role. There will be some growing pains on a young blue line -- only one defenseman the Blackhawks dressed Friday was over the age of 24. For the season, Del Mastro is at five points, 18 shots on net, 35 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 22 appearances at the NHL level.

MARCH 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to NHL Del Mastro was called up from AHL Rockford on Friday.

Impact As expected, Del Mastro is back with the big club in time for Friday's game versus Utah. He's expected to play on the second pairing and should see steady NHL action through the end of the season.

MARCH 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Rockford Del Mastro was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Friday, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact The move is just a paper one as it makes Del Mastro eligible for the AHL playoffs. Del Mastro should be recalled ahead of Friday's game against Utah. He has a pair of goals and one assist in 12 NHL games this season.

Finds twine in win Del Mastro scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Del Mastro put the Blackhawks up 3-1 with his second-period tally. The 22-year-old defenseman has two goals over his last three games, and he's added five blocked shots in that span. The rookie has three points, seven shots on net, 18 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 11 outings. He hasn't seen power-play time this season, but that could be a duty added to Del Mastro's workload if he continues to hold steady at even strength. For now, Alex Vlasic and Alec Martinez are handling the power-play work for the Blackhawks following the Seth Jones trade.

Nets first career goal Del Mastro scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Del Mastro's goal at 5:30 of the second period was his first in an NHL game. The 22-year-old is currently competing with T.J. Brodie and Nolan Allan for playing time in a third-pairing role. Del Mastro has two points, five shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-2 rating across nine outings with the Blackhawks this season. Without a larger role, it's unlikely he'll make much of a fantasy impact over the remainder of the campaign.
