Chiarot recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot provided the secondary helper on the first of two goals for burgeoning winger Lucas Raymond. As a second-pairing defenseman who rarely works on the power play, Chiarot isn't the type of player that fantasy managers generally covet. However, the veteran is mixing it up a bit, pairing 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) with 130 hits and 135 blocked shots through 63 games.

Chiarot potted a goal in overtime in the 4-3 win over the Kraken on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot pinched in from the point, took a cross-ice pass from Dylan Larkin and wristed it top shelf over Seattle goalie Joey Daccord 1:07 into overtime. Chiarot added two PIM, two shots on net and a plus-2 rating in 20:39 of ice time. It was only the fourth goal and 14th point through 50 games on the season for the 32-year old defenseman. He has never hit double-digit goals in his career and has topped the 20-point mark just three times, most recently in 2021-22.

Chiarot notched an assist, two hits, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot snapped a three-game drought with the helper in his second game back from missing five with an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old blueliner has 13 points, 65 shots on net, 94 hits, 101 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 47 appearances. His defense-first role means that fantasy managers don't need to track his production closely despite his top-four usage for the Red Wings.
