Jalen Chatfield

Jalen Chatfield recorded an assist, two blocked shots, and a plus-2 rating in the Hurricanes' 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders on Saturday, snapping a nine-game point drought.

Fantasy Impact

Chatfield set up Sebastian Aho's first-period goal, providing a rare offensive contribution from his top-four shutdown role. While his scoring has been sparse with 11 points in 50 games, Chatfield's defensive contributions are notable, highlighted by a plus-20 rating, 45 hits, and 43 blocked shots. His value is more pronounced in leagues that reward defensive stats, but his limited offensive production keeps his fantasy appeal modest.

Jalen Chatfield scored his sixth goal of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

Chatfield scored his first goal since January 19th, and earned his first point in over a month. The veteran is not known for his offensive abilities, and does not provide much fantasy value at all. Keep him on the waiver wire in all formats.

Jalen Chatfield added two assists in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.

Fantasy Impact

Chatfield is now up to 15 points in 51 games this year. These are modest numbers for a defensive defenceman, but he simply does not contribute enough offensively to warrant a roster spot in any format. Leave him on the waiver wire in your league.

Jalen Chatfield added his second assist and fifth goal of the year in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Fantasy Impact

Chatfield suddenly has three goals and an assist in his last four games. This is someone who barely contributed offensively before this week, so this hot streak is bound to end. At most, add Chatfield to the watchlist in case he somehow keeps a level of production near this up, but he does not need to be rostered in any formats just yet.

Jalen Chatfield scored his fourth goal of the season in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.

Fantasy Impact

Chatfield, a defensive-minded defenseman, now has three goals since the start of January. Sometimes regression can be a good thing, and it seems Chatfield is finally getting some puck luck after having just one goal in his first 33 games this year. It is likely that this is just a random hot-streak, so do not rush to add Chatfield off of the waiver wire in your league.
