Ethan Del Mastro - 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.

Alec Martinez - Opens scoring in win Martinez scored a goal and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Martinez tallied against his former team at 10:57 of the first period, though the Blackhawks' initial lead lasted less than a minute. Since the start of February, Martinez has three goals and three assists over 10 outings. The 37-year-old is poised to at least temporarily see power-play time following Chicago's deal to send Seth Jones to Florida. Martinez could ultimately lose his role with the man advantage to a younger defenseman like Ethan Del Mastro or Wyatt Kaiser. For the season, Martinez has 12 points, 34 shots on net, 74 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating across 34 appearances.

Andreas Athanasiou - Scores in Monday's win Athanasiou scored a goal in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kings.
Impact Spencer Knight's 41-save effort will get the headlines here, but Athanasiou also picked up his first goal in two games since returning to the NHL ranks. The 30-year-old stretched the Blackhawks' lead to 4-1 in the third period with a goal against one of his former teams. It was his first point in seven NHL outings this season, and he's added eight shots on net, five hits and six blocked shots. Athanasiou may have some streaming appeal if he can make his way onto the top line, but there's not much to like if he sticks in the bottom six -- he centered the third line in Monday's contest.

Alex Turcotte - Assist on team's only goal Turcotte held a minus-2 rating but picked up an assist on the team's only goal during a 5-1 loss to the Blackhawks on Monday.
Impact After Monday's game, Turcotte has now recorded just two points in his last 17 contests with most of this coming on Los Angeles' top line, playing on the left wing of Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe. The 2019 first-round draft choice does have 21 points on the season, so he could effectively be due for some positive regression if he continues to get top-line minutes.

Ryan Greene - Ready to go pro Greene expects to make the jump to the professional ranks soon, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Tuesday.
Impact Greene returned to Boston University for his junior season, racking up 12 goals and 16 points across 32 games for the Terriers so far. Selected by the Hawks in the second round of the 2022 NHL Draft, the 21-year-old center could sign an entry-level deal as soon as his collegiate campaign wraps up -- though that likely won't be for another few weeks depending on how far the Terriers go in the postseason.
