DeBrincat scored an empty-net goal on a game-high six shots in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat's ninth tally of the year went into an empty cage, providing a little insurance in the Blackhawks' victory. Nine goals puts DeBrincat in the top 10 among goal scorers so far this year. He's racked up 17 points, 50 shots, 13 hits and a plus-5 rating in 14 outings -- fantasy managers that expected him to return to his 41-goal, 76-point form from 2018-19 should be feeling pretty good.

DeBrincat scored the winning goal and had three shots with two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime victory over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat worked a give-and-go with Patrick Kane and beat Joonas Korpisalo just 35 seconds into the extra session, collecting his eighth goal of the season. Six of those goals have come during the month of February, with three of them counting as game-winners. After a disappointing 2019-20 campaign, DeBrincat is producing at better than a point-per-game clip with 16 points in 12 contests.

DeBrincat scored a goal and added two assists in Thursday's 6-5 loss to Columbus. He also provided four shots and two hits.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat connected on a one-timer to give Chicago a 5-4 lead with 6:55 left in the third period. He also set up an even-strength goal by Nicolas Beaudin in the first period and a power-play strike by Patrick Kane early in the third. It was the fourth time in the last five games DeBrincat has produced two-plus points, and it was his sixth such performance overall in 2020-21. The 23-year-old has seven goals and eight assists in 11 games.

DeBrincat scored both Chicago goals, one on the power play, in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
He also fired a team-high seven shots on net. DeBrincat has points in five straight games in which he's played, a hot streak sandwiched around a four-game stint in the COVID-19 protocols, and on the season the 23-year-old has six goals and 12 points in nine contests.

DeBrincat scored two goals on six shots, doled out four hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat didn't factor into the offense until the third period, where he snapped a 4-4 tie with his first goal and added insurance with an empty-netter. The 23-year-old now has four goals, six helpers, 27 shots and a plus-2 rating in eight appearances. The four hits he served up Thursday nearly matched the five he had entering the contest, so don't expect an uptick in physicality for the scoring winger.

DeBrincat dished out a pair of assists and had four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat was back in the lineup after a four-game absence related to the NHL's COVID-19 protocols. He assisted on Patrick Kane's game-tying goal in the final minute of the first period, then drew the secondary assist on Dylan Strome's game-tying goal in the third. DeBrincat has points in three consecutive games (all assists) and has eight points in seven contests overall.

DeBrincat is on the ice ahead for pregame warmups ahead of Tuesday's game against Carolina and appears set to play, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat missed the last four games due to COVID-19 protocols but was cleared Tuesday morning. He's likely to assume a second-line role next to Dylan Strome and Dominik Kubalik while looking to build upon the six points in six games he's amassed this season.

DeBrincat has been removed from the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat was on the ice for morning skate, but it has yet to be determined if he'll be available for Tuesday night's clash with Carolina. The 23-year-old winger will likely boil down to a game-time decision against the Hurricanes.

According to coach Jeremy Colliton, DeBrincat (COVID-19 protocols) will be sidelined for at least two weeks, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a huge loss for the Blackhawks and fantasy players alike, as DeBrincat has been red hot to start the season, having picked up two goals and four helpers while firing 17 shots on net through his first six games. With DeBrincat on the shelf, Mattias Janmark could get an extended look in Chicago's top six.

DeBrincat was placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Because DeBrincat won't be able to travel or practice while on the protocol list, he'll almost certainly miss both Tuesday and Wednesday in Nashville. The 5-foot-7 winger is second on the team with six points through six games. Matthew Highmore and Lucas Wallmark are two forwards that could replace DeBrincat assuming he does miss time.
