Jalen Chatfield contributes assist in loss to Islanders

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.
