Vlasic scored his first goal of the season in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The 2019 second-round pick opened the scoring early in the first period, taking a feed from behind the net by Nick Foligno and wiring the puck past a scrambling Jeremy Swayman. Vlasic continues to handle first-unit power-play duties with Seth Jones (foot) on the shelf, and the 23-year-old blueliner has produced four points over the last seven games, with all three of his helpers during that stretch coming on the man advantage.

Vlasic notched a power-play assist, six shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Vlasic has three assists over his last five games, all on the power play. His last even-strength point was an assist versus the Kings on Nov. 2. The defenseman is at 10 helpers (six on the power play), 33 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 24 appearances this season while filling a top-four role. Vlasic's heavy workload and ability to rack up blocks gives him some enhanced value in fantasy formats that reward such production.

Vlasic notched an assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Vlasic has two helpers over his last four games, and he a took a minus rating for the first time in five contests. The 23-year-old has largely stepped into the hole created by the absence of Seth Jones (foot), rather than having the Blackhawks fill those minutes by committee. Vlasic is at nine helpers, 27 shots on net, 14 hits, 58 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 23 appearances. His larger role makes him of interest in most fantasy formats, though he doesn't have as much appeal as other high-end blueliners given the team situation.

Vlasic notched a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Vlasic snapped his six-game dry spell when he helped out on Teuvo Teravainen's first-period tally. The 23-year-old Vlasic has taken on a larger role since Seth Jones (foot) exited the lineup following last Thursday's game in Seattle. Vlasic is on the top power-play unit and also features on the first pairing, giving him more ice time with the Blackhawks' best players. The defenseman has eight helpers (four on the power play), 21 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 20 appearances. He's halfway to matching his point total from last season, and he's worth considering in deeper fantasy formats.

Vlasic recorded a power-play assist, two shots on goal and five blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Vlasic has helpers in back-to-back games for the second time this season. He's earned five assists over his last seven outings and a total of seven helpers through 13 contests overall. The 23-year-old isn't just producing decent offense -- he has added 12 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in a top-four role. The presence of Seth Jones limits Vlasic to the second power-play unit, but it's not hampering the youngster's performance.

Vlasic recorded an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Vlasic saw a season-high 27:07 of ice time in the contest. He's picked up four assists over his last six games, bringing Vlasic to six helpers through 12 outings this season. The 23-year-old has added 10 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, nine hits and an even plus-minus rating while seeing steady top-four usage and power-play time. If Vlasic continues at this scoring pace, he'll be worth a look in most fantasy formats.

Vlasic logged an assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Vlasic has a helper in each of the last two games, giving him a total of four assists through eight contests. The 23-year-old defenseman was promoted to the top power-play unit this week, which gives him a little more upside on offense. He's produced seven shots on net, six hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating while consistently playing top-four minutes at even strength.

Vlasic notched an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Vlasic started the game on the third pairing, but he ended up leading all Chicago skaters with 23:34 of ice time. The defenseman has a minus-4 rating so far, but he's also earned three assists, seven shots on net and 19 blocked shots while seeing power-play time. Vlasic has some appeal in deeper formats due to his defensive contributions, and he'll likely be in a top-four role more often than not.
