Fantasy Impact: Murphy, who will turn 33 this month, has played in 805 career NHL games over a 13-year span. He is a big, physical defenseman who provides more hits and blocked shots than he does on the offensive end. Murphy has never scored more than 19 points in a season, but has finished with at least 100 blocks and 100 hits in 10 of his first 12 seasons. Murphy will likely play on Edmonton's third defensive pairing and will help kill penalties.

Tyler Bertuzzi was able to find the back of the net for the Blackhawks Sunday night, scoring the lone goal in a 5-1 loss to the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact: Bertuzzi has provided mixed results in the offensive zone of late, posting points in four of his last eight games (three goals, two assists) for the Blackhawks. The gritty winger remains one of the more reliable offensive options as part of an inconsistent Chicago lineup to this point, tallying 39 points (25 goals, 14 assists) in 49 games so far this season.
