Dangles for first goal of season Lafferty scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

Impact Lafferty got the puck near the blue line, made a couple of moves and slotted home a shot at 13:34 of the third period to put the Blackhawks ahead 3-2. It's a show of skill for the 30-year-old, who has spent a lot of time in the press box so far -- this was just his fifth appearance of the campaign. The goal was also his first shot on net of the year to go with four PIM, seven hits and a plus-1 rating. He may still find himself out of the lineup once Andre Burakovsky (illness), Frank Nazar (abdomen) and Jason Dickinson (shoulder) are all healthy again.

Headed for Windy City Lafferty was traded to Chicago from Buffalo for a 2026 sixth-round pick Tuesday.

Impact Lafferty struggled to produce offensively last season, managing just seven points in 60 regular-season outings for the Sabres. In his previous stint in Chicago, the 30-year-old winger was significantly more productive, generating 21 points in 51 contests. Lafferty's primary on-ice value comes as a penalty killer, a role that doesn't exactly translate into fantasy production -- though he did manage four short-handed goals with the Hawks in 2022-23.

Finds twine in return Lafferty scored a goal and dished out three hits in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Capitals.

Impact Lafferty's return from a four-game absence with a groin injury was productive from his fourth-line role. He tallied the fourth goal of the game for the Sabres off a helper from Connor Clifton. Lafferty now has three goals and six points across 51 appearances this season. The 30-year-old right winger has taken a step back offensively this year after setting a career high of 13 goals a season ago. While it is best to fade Lafferty in most fantasy formats, Buffalo's combination of playing without pressure and their recent surge in the offensive zone could give the winger some value if he can become a consistent contributor on the scoresheet.

Impact Lafferty might be an option to return from a four-game absence. He has produced two goals, five points, 42 shots on net and 80 hits in 50 appearances this season. If Lafferty plays versus Washington, Isak Rosen could be a healthy scratch.
