Factors on both goals in loss Kurashev scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Kurashev reached the 10-goal mark late in the first period and then set up a Ryan Donato marker in the third. The 24-year-old Kurashev ended February on a four-game drought, but he's generally been productive relative to the rest of the Blackhawks since he's playing on a line with Connor Bedard. For the season, Kurashev has 34 points (10 on the power play), 98 shots on net and a minus-34 rating through 54 appearances.

Puts up power-play helper Kurashev logged a power-play assist in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Kurashev set up a Connor Bedard tally in the third period. The assist extended Kurashev's point streak to six games (one goals, seven helpers). He's at 32 points (10 on the power play), 89 shots on net and a minus-27 rating 49 outings overall. Kurashev's recent play makes him a solid addition for fantasy managers who don't have to worry about plus-minus or physicality.

Two helpers Saturday Kurashev picked up two assists in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

Impact The 24-year-old winger helped set up tallies by Nick Foligno in the first period and Connor Bedard in the second. Kurashev has a five-game point streak going in which he's collected a goal and seven points, and a spot on Chicago's top power-play unit and on a line with Bedard at even strength should allow him to stay productive. Kurashev's next goal will be his career-high 10th, and he's already set a new personal best on the season with 31 points in 48 games.

FEBRUARY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nets lone goal in loss Kurashev scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Kurashev has five points over his last four games, though this was his first goal since Jan. 7. The 24-year-old had been working as a center, but he shifted back to the wing with Connor Bedard (jaw) back in the lineup. Kurashev is at nine goals, matching his career high from last season. He's added 20 helpers, 88 shots on net and a minus-27 rating through 47 appearances. Kurashev's offense-only production will have limited appeal in fantasy, but he has more upside as long as he's playing with Bedard at even strength and on the power play.

FEBRUARY 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits 20-assist plateau Kurashev notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.

FEBRUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rare two-point effort Kurashev put up two assists in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Impact Kurashev continues to add to his career totals, getting at least one point in his second straight game and putting up his first multi-point effort since Dec. 23. His first assist came on Nick Foligno's goal 13:37 into the third period and he followed that up with another helper on the game-tying goal by Jason Dickinson with only 1:02 left that eventually put the game into overtime. The first-line center ended the contest with three shots and a plus-2 rating in 21:34 TOI. Kurashev is on pace to surpass 50 points on the season and he should easily get there while playing in all situations and averaging 18:45 TOI on the season.

FEBRUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Matches career high in points Kurashev notched an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Wild.

Impact Kurashev set up a Nick Foligno tally in the second period to keep the Blackhawks from getting shut out for a third game in a row.

On the year, the 24-year-old has matched his career high with 25 points while adding 81 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-25 rating through 44 appearances.

The 24-year-old winger is up to 22 points, 51 shots on net and a minus-17 rating over 29 appearances. His career high in points is 25 from last season, so he has a strong chance of setting a new mark in 2023-24.

Overall, the 24-year-old winger is up to five goals and 14 points through 20 games this season.

Impact Kurashev missed the start of the campaign due to a wrist injury, but he's been terrific since getting healthy, providing four goals and 10 points through 10 outings this season. In terms of his scoring pace, that's a huge increase from 2022-23 in which he recorded nine goals and 25 points in 70 contests. The 24-year-old has benefited from playing alongside Connor Bedard this year, and Kurashev should continue to have significant fantasy value as long as he remains on the top line.

What is Philipp Kurashev and what can he be? The Blackhawks are trying to figure that out After nearly 200 NHL games, in some ways Kurashev feels like a finished product. But in other ways, he still feels like a prospect.

Explodes for three points Kurashev recorded a goal and two assists with two shots in the Blackhawks' 5-2 victory over the Panthers on Saturday.

Impact Kurashev deposited an empty-net goal to ice the game for the Blackhawks. He would also add a helper on goals by Nikita Zaitsev and Connor Bedard. The Swiss forward is now up to two goals and four points in four games. He should continue to play on the first line and second power-play unit for the time being.

NOVEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets on board with game-winner Kurashev scored the game-winning goal on the power play in Friday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Golden Knights.

Impact The 24-year-old was on the shelf to begin the season as he completed his recovery from March wrist surgery, but in his second game back he made his only shot of the night count. Kurashev intercepted an Alex Pietrangelo clearing attempt, skated into the high slot and wired the puck past Adin Hill on the blocker side to hand Vegas its first loss. Kurashev has never recorded more than nine goals or 25 points in an NHL campaign, but he skated on Connor Bedard's wing Friday and led all Chicago forwards in even-strength ice time. If he can keep that assignment a breakout campaign could follow.

Headed to IR Kurashev (wrist) will begin the season on injured reserve, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Although he won't be with the team to start, Kurashev could join the Blackhawks at some point during their season-opening five-game road trip.

Could miss Opening Night Kurashev (left wrist) skated briefly Thursday before leaving the ice, according to Tracey Myers of NHL.com.
