Adds power-play assist Tuesday
Rinzel notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.
Impact
Rinzel hit the ground running at the NHL level, earning five assists over his first nine games. His last three helpers came on the power play. The 20-year-old University of Minnesota product should have an inside track to an NHL job, including top-four minutes and power-play time, to begin 2025-26. Fantasy managers in redraft formats should consider him a sleeper option -- if he quarterbacks the top power-play unit, he'll get enough offense to be useful.

Earns first NHL assist
Rinzel notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Penguins.
Impact
Rinzel needed four games to earn his first NHL point. The 20-year-old defenseman has immediately stepped into a top-pairing role alongside Alec Vlasic. Rinzel has added 11 shots on net, seven hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over his four contests since signing out of the University of Minnesota, where he had 32 points in 40 contests as a sophomore this season.

Inks entry-level contract
Rinzel signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Blackhawks on Saturday, per PuckPedia.
Impact
Rinzel was selected 25th overall in the 2022 Draft. The 20-year-old defenseman has 10 goals and 22 assists across 40 games with the University of Minnesota during his 2024-25 sophomore season. He could see some action with Chicago during the remainder of the NHL campaign.

Named defensive standout
RInzel was announced as the Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year on Tuesday.
Impact
Rinzel put together a solid 2024-25 campaign on the offensive side of the puck as well, registering 10 goals and 31 points -- both career highs -- in 39 games with the University of Minnesota. Selected by the Blackhawks with the 25th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, fantasy players will have to take a wait-and-see approach regarding the defenseman's future, as he could return to college next year.

Slumping offensively
Rinzel has one assist in his last eight appearances with the University of Minnesota.
Impact
Rinzel had been consistent offensively before his recent struggles, providing nine goals and 15 helpers in his first 24 outings. Despite his scoring slump, the 20-year-old sophomore defender should surpass the 28 points he had in 39 games last season. The Blackhawks selected Rinzel with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
