DeBrincat posted two assists, four shots on goal, two hits and a pair of blocked shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat assisted on power-play tallies by Patrick Kane in the first period and Andrew Shaw in the third. Most of DeBrincat's production has come with the man advantage -- four of his five points have been on the power play. The 23-year-old winger has added 12 shots on goal with a minus-3 rating in five contests. His non-scoring contributions are often minimal, making Friday's juicy stat line a little surprising.

DeBrincat scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat netted a power-play tally for the second straight game, and he now has three points in as many outings this year. He's added eight shots but also carries a minus-4 rating. DeBrincat's in fine scoring form to start the year, so he's worth playing in most fantasy formats, and especially those that disregard the plus-minus metric.

DeBrincat scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Factoring in on both of Chicago's goals, DeBrincat was one of the better players on the losing team Friday. He still finished minus-2, but that could be a common theme on a Blackhawks team that will struggle to keep pucks out of their own net. DeBrincat will feature in a top-six role in 2020-21 after posting 45 points in 70 contests last season. The 23-year-old winger will also operate on the top power-play unit.

DeBrincat scored a goal on four shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Vegas in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat's tally gave the Blackhawks a 2-0 lead in the first period, but it wouldn't hold up. The winger produced two goals and four helpers in nine postseason games. DeBrincat also had 13 hits, 27 shots and a plus-4 rating.

DeBrincat scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over Vegas in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat had failed to find the net in each of Chicago's first seven playoff games, but the 22-year-old got off the schneid with his empty-netter in the final minute of regulation. A third-line winger coming off an 18-goal regular season, DeBrincat's fantasy contributions may be sporadic throughout the postseason.

DeBrincat was held scoreless on eight shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat accounted for nearly one-third of the Blackhawks' shots, but he couldn't solve Marc-Andre Fleury. The 22-year-old winger has four helpers, 18 shots and a plus-3 rating through seven postseason outings.

DeBrincat registered a power-play assist in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat was held off the scoresheet in Game 1 of the series, but he's picked up three assists in his last two outings. He added four PIM and three shots on goal Wednesday. The 22-year-old winger is likely to stay in a middle-six role throughout the Blackhawks' playoff run.

DeBrincat registered two assists and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat helped out on goals by Patrick Kane and Slater Koekkoek in the contest. After posting 76 points in 2018-19, DeBrincat had only 18 goals and 45 points through 70 games before the regular season was put on pause. Head coach Jeremy Colliton has the winger in a third-line role currently, which could limit his scoring opportunities.

DeBrincat only has 18 goals and 45 points through 70 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat racked up 41 goals and 76 points in 82 games last campaign, and he was rewarded for his efforts with a three-year, $19.2 million contract extension in October. The good news is the dimunitive winger's steep dropoff in production can almost entirely be attributed to the career-low 8.7 shooting percentage he's registered this year. If he was converting at the same clip as he did in 2018-19 (18.6 percent), he'd currently have 38 goals. Although it may be unwise to expect DeBrincat to post a shooting percentage that high in 2020-21, there's a ton of room for positive regression, so he'll be a prime bounce-back candidate heading into next year's fantasy drafts.

DeBrincat dished out three assists and had three shots with two PIM in Wednesday's 6-2 win over San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
All three of DeBrincat's helpers came during a second period in which the Blackhawks turned a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 lead. He figured in on power-play tallies by Duncan Keith and Patrick Kane, then he set up an even-strength strike by Brandon Saad. The outburst gave DeBrincat 45 points (18 goals, 27 assists) in 70 games this season.
