Another power-play snipe Chafee scored a goal Saturday in a 3-1 win over Washington.

Impact He stuffed in a rebound from the bottom of the left circle on the power play. Chaffee has just 11 goals and five assists in 55 games this season, but four of those snipes have come on the power play. His fantasy value is limited, but his coach clearly has increased confidence in him. Chaffee's ice time has jumped 13:53 or more in three of the four games since the break after watching it drop to under eight minutes prior to the break.

Scores late in blowout win Chaffee scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

Impact Chaffee has three goals over his last 10 outings. The 27-year-old scored in the final minute of this contest, burying a rebound after Anton Forsberg was back in the net following the Lightning's empty-netter. Chaffee is up to 10 goals, 14 points, 47 shots on net, 99 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 49 appearances. He continues to play regularly but often fills a bottom-six role, so he probably won't be an option for most fantasy managers.

Deposits power-play tally Chaffee scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Impact This was Chaffee's second goal over the last four games, and his first power-play point since Dec. 23. The 26-year-old has gotten a look on the top power-play unit recently, though that may not be a long-term role for him. He's also seeing fourth-line minutes at even strength. Overall, Chaffee has nine goals, four assists, 42 shots on net, 81 hits and 19 PIM over 43 appearances.

Tallies in Saturday's victory Chaffee found the back of the net on his only shot and added four PIM, four hits, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Chaffee was all over the scoresheet Saturday, but this was his first point through 10 contests in January. The 26-year-old gave the Lightning a 4-0 lead early in the middle frame. While Chaffee has chipped in eight goals this season, he only has four assists to his name -- his last helper came Nov. 23 in a loss to Dallas. The Michigan native is currently occupying a third-line role in addition to a spot on the No. 2 power-play unit.

Nets power-play goal Chaffee scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

Impact Chaffee has scored twice over the last four contests, and both goals have come on the power play. He's starting to take hold with the second unit this season after never previously getting much of a look with the man advantage. Chaffee is already enjoying a career year with seven goals, 11 points, 29 shots on net, 35 hits and a plus-5 rating through 28 appearances, mainly in a third-line role.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

First-ever power-play point Chaffee scored a power-play goal Tuesday in a 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact It stood as the winner. It was Chaffee's first point in six games and first power-play point of the season. It was actually the first PPP of his NHL career. The bottom-six forward has 10 points in 25 games this season while averaging 13:11. Chaffee had a great night, but that doesn't make him fantasy worthy.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Chaffee (undisclosed) will play in Sunday's game versus the Canucks, according to Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

Impact Chaffee will return to a middle-six role after missing the last four games. He has accounted for five goals, nine points, 19 shots on net and 25 hits over 20 appearances this campaign. Nick Perbix will come out of the lineup due to Chaffee's return, as the Lightning will dress 12 forwards and six defensemen in Sunday's contest.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Thursday Chaffee (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against San Jose, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Impact Chaffee continues to deal with an undisclosed injury and will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game. However, he appears to be trending in the right direction, as head coach Jon Cooper said Thursday that he hopes Chaffee will be available during the Lightning's upcoming four-game road trip, which begins Sunday in Vancouver.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Saturday Chaffee (undisclosed) is slated to miss Saturday's tilt against Toronto, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

Impact Chaffee was also absent for the Lightning's previous two games. He has five goals and nine points in 20 appearances in 2024-25. Chaffee will probably serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's healthy.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Friday Chaffee (undisclosed) participated in Friday's pregame warmups, but he won't play against the Predators, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Impact Chaffee has five goals and nine points in 20 appearances in 2024-25. This will be his second straight game out of the Lightning's lineup. Tampa Bay will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen, including blueliner Darren Raddysh, who might have been a healthy scratch if Chaffee was ready to return.

NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Wednesday Chaffee (undisclosed) will miss Wednesday's game against Washington, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

Impact Chaffee wasn't on the ice for Tuesday's practice due to the injury. He has five goals and nine points in 20 appearances in 2024-25. Cam Atkinson, who has spent the past two games as a healthy scratch, is expected to draw into the lineup versus the Capitals.

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed day-to-day Chaffee (undisclosed) didn't practice Tuesday and is day-to-day, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Chaffee left Monday's 8-2 win over Colorado in the second period and didn't return. He has earned five goals, nine points, 19 shots on net and 25 hits over 20 appearances this season. If Chaffee can't play Wednesday against Washington, Cam Atkinson will probably suit up after being a healthy scratch for the last two games.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two points for hard-working winger Chaffee had a goal and an assist in a 7-6 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday.

Impact The third-line winger has five goals, three assists, 21 hits, 16 shots and eight blocks in 18 games this season. Chaffee is a hard-working winger, but doesn't really offer much fantasy value, even with a role on the second power-play unit. The points were Chaffee's first in six games, and he hasn't picked up any points with the man advantage.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies in Sunday's loss Chaffee found the back of the net in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Jets.

Impact Chaffee scored his fourth goal of the season in the second period of Sunday's defeat. The Michigan native added three shots, one takeaway and a minus-1 rating in 16:17 of ice time. Chaffee is filling a bottom-six role, and he's offered solid depth production with four goals and two assists over 12 appearances.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies again Monday Chaffee scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

Impact Chaffee has scored in back-to-back games and now has three tallies and five points through nine contests overall. The 26-year-old saw 10 seconds of power-play time Monday, but he's still not regularly in the mix with the man advantage. That's about the only complaint one could have with his start to the season, as he's added 13 hits, six shots on net, four PIM and a plus-3 rating while filling a middle-six role.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores opening goal Saturday Chaffee scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Capitals.

Impact Chaffee saw a season-high 14:23 of ice time in this win. The 26-year-old netted his second goal of the year, ending a two-game dry spell on offense. He's up to four points, five shots on net, 13 hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating through eight appearances. If he can keep chipping in supporting offense, his physical playing style could make him an option in deep fantasy formats.

OCTOBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gaining trust with strong start Chaffee posted an assist, four hits and two PIM in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Chaffee has found the scoresheet in the last three games (one goal, two assists). He also saw a season-high 13:30 of ice time Tuesday. The 26-year-old has seen the bulk of his NHL ice time on the fourth line in his career, but a strong start to 2024-25 has him positioned to be an option in the middle six on a more regular basis going forward.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies Saturday Chaffee scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Senators.

Impact Chaffee got the Lightning within a goal in the third period, but the comeback stalled out there. The 26-year-old has two points, two shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over four appearances this season. Chaffee looks to be secure in a fourth-line role, as head coach Jon Cooper has often opted to scratch one of Cam Atkinson or Conor Sheary up front.

OCTOBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lends assist in win Chaffee produced an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact The helper was Chaffee's first point in three appearances this season. The winger has added three hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and one shot on goal. He's locked into a fourth-line role, but it wouldn't be surprising if he was occasionally designated a healthy scratch this season. He played in 30 regular-season games with the Lightning last year, producing seven points and 88 hits.

OCTOBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Secures two-year pact Chaffee agreed to terms on a two-year, $1.6 million contract with Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Impact Chaffee's deal is a one-way contract, which should increase his chances of playing in more than 30 NHL games this upcoming season. During the 2023-24 campaign, the 26-year-old winger notched four goals on 27 shots, three assists and 88 hits while averaging 11:07 of ice time. Even with his new deal in hand, Chaffee is unlikely to challenge for more than a bottom-six role next year.

MAY 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Opens scoring Wednesday Chaffee scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact Chaffee tallied midway through the first period to open the scoring. The 26-year-old saw consistent playing time after the All-Star break, but he has been scratched four times in the last eight games amid a scoring slump. Chaffee has four goals, one assist, 19 shots on net, 58 hits and a minus-1 rating through 21 appearances. He'll continue to compete with Conor Sheary and Austin Watson for a bottom-six role.

MARCH 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recent scratch Chaffee has been scratched for three of the Lightning's last five games.

Impact The right-shot power winger has incredible strength and strong shot. But with the Bolts pushing to nail down a postseason berth, Chaffee has been a student of the game from the press box. He has 12 goals and 14 assists in 36 games with AHL Syracuse, and three goals and one assist in 19 games with the big club.
