DeBrincat beat former Blackhawk Antti Raanta with a power-play snipe in Monday's 6-1 road loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie with the snappy release is now up to 20 goals and 15 assists through 56 games, putting him second on the team in scoring (only behind Patrick Kane) and four in total points. Known as a confident operator within the attacking zone, DeBrincat has drawn comparisons to Johnny Gaudreau, a star forward belonging to the Flames, and he's gone from a sleeper pick -- who skipped the AHL entirely following a 127-point season with OHL Erie -- to a guy that might get selected in the early-to-mid rounds of most redraft leagues next season.

DeBrincat opened the scoring with a power-play goal in Tuesday's loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat has been lethal of late, scoring five times in his last five games and firing 23 shots on goal in that span. The sniper is up to an impressive 19 goals and 34 points in 53 games on the season and is developing into a dynamic scorer. The rookie is heating up for Chicago team in the thick of the playoff race, so make sure you keep getting him in your lineup.

DeBrincat scored on one of his seven shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat potted his 18th tally of the season in the third period, but that wasn't enough to prevent this defeat. His four goals in the last three games suggest the talented rookie's back on track after lighting the lamp only twice between Dec. 10 and Jan. 24.

DeBrincat scored three goals on four shots and added an assist in a 5-1 win over the Red Wings on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie hits the All-Star break with a game to remember. DeBrincat's goal scoring has slowed down after a fast start, as he had only two goals in 19 games before this outburst. Despite that, this hat trick gives him 17 goals in 49 games.

DeBrincat picked up a pair of assists in Tuesday's win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat set up both Jonathan Toews and Brandon Saad in the victory and is now up to 23 points (12) in 31 games. The 19-year-old is producing consistently on the second line and is also chipping in with the man advantage. DeBrincat dominated the OHL and has started his NHL career with a bang. Keep him rolling.

DeBrincat recorded three goals (one on the power play), an assist, five shots and a plus-3 rating through 15:01 of ice time during Monday's 7-3 win over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie is up to nine tallies and 13 points through his past 12 games, which has him on the fantasy radar in the majority of settings. DeBrincat posted a jaw-dropping 332 points -- 167 goals -- through just 191 games in the OHL over the past three seasons, and he's quickly proving his offense can translate to the highest level. Still, it would be nice to see him consistently slot into a top-six role.

DeBrincat had the biggest night of his young NHL career so far on Saturday, scoring twice and adding an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
The kid is brilliant with the puck and clearly knows how to finish. The Hawks need to find some offense and DeBrincat can help -- them and you. He continues to roll on a top line and as long as that's happening, you need to be all over him.

DeBrincat picked up his second goal of the season when he scored an empty-netter in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat is now skating with Jonathan Toews and Richard Panik on the Blackhawks' top line, a role that should lead to increased scoring opportunities going forward. The 19-year-old rookie has notched six points (two goals, four assists) in 13 contests this campaign, but he's currently riding a two-game point streak.

DeBrincat scored his first NHL goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
DeBrincat was selected 39th overall in the 2016 draft with a pick that the Canadiens sent to Chicago in a trade for Andrew Shaw, so it's fitting that his first career tally came against Montreal netminder Carey Price. The diminutive 19-year-old is listed at just 5-foot-7 and 165 pounds, but he brings plenty of speed to Chicago's third line. DeBrincat's likely not quite ready to make a major fantasy impact yet, but that could change in a hurry if he gets promoted to a top-six role alongside Patrick Kane.

DeBrincat recorded a single shot and hit through 10:59 of ice time (3:40 on the power play) during Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
After averaging 18:00 of ice time through the first two games of the season, it was discouraging to see the rookie's minutes dip significantly Monday. However, DeBrincat's power-play role keeps him on the fantasy radar for daily contests and cavernous seasonal settings. He played a lot with Patrick Kane during the preseason, so there's always a chance that DeBrincat is promoted up the depth chart. However, as long as the 19-year-old winger is skating in a bottom-six role, his value is capped.
