Chiarot scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-4 in Friday's 5-3 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was Chiarot's first since Feb. 2 versus the Canucks. He snapped a six-game point drought as well, opening the scoring 9:03 into the contest. Chiarot is primarily a stay-at-home defenseman, so his scoring struggles don't come as a surprise. He's produced four goals, 12 points, 101 shots on net, 118 hits, 132 blocked shots, 63 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 74 appearances in 2024-25, which has him on track for his lowest point total since 2017-18 (14).

Chiarot notched an assist and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot has a helper in two of his last three contests following a 12-game slump. The 33-year-old is not known to be a generally productive player for fantasy managers, but he can chip in some hits and blocks for those that need to target the physical categories. For the season, the defenseman has 11 points, 94 shots on net, 51 PIM, 106 hits and 121 blocked shots over 67 appearances.

Chiarot notched an assist, four blocked shots, two hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot ended a 12-game point drought when he set up Alex DeBrincat's opening tally late in the first period. Still, since Feb. 4 versus the Kraken, Chiarot has a minus-10 rating, 21 hits and 21 blocked shots while seeing top-four minutes. His lack of offense keeps him off most fantasy rosters despite a large role, and 2024-25 has been a particularly tough year for the 33-year-old. He's at 10 points, 92 shots on net, 103 hits, 116 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-10 rating through 65 appearances.

Chiarot fired three shots on goal and blocked two shots in 19:51 of ice time during Monday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot plays on the Red Wings' top pair with Moritz Seider, but the 33-year-old has not picked up a point and is minus-8 in his last 11 games. He's currently on pace for his worst offensive output as a Red Wing, sitting at just nine points through 63 games. Chiarot shouldn't be counted on to contribute offensively with any regularity, though he is noteworthy in terms of hits and blocks -- the blueliner has 100 and 111, respectively, this campaign.

Chiarot scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot has scored twice over his last seven contests, but that's all of his offense across the last 15 games. The 33-year-old's tally gave the Red Wings a 2-1 lead in the second period. Chiarot is up to three goals, nine points, 71 shots on net, 82 hits, 95 blocked shots, 43 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 52 appearances. He fills a defense-first role in the Red Wings' top four, and he's noticeably behind the pace that saw him rack up 20 points over 77 outings in the 2023-24 regular season.

Chiarot scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers. He also recorded four shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot picked up a point for the first time since Jan. 2 when he notched an assist in a 5-4 win over the Blue Jackets to snap an eight-game point drought. This was also his first goal since Dec. 12, and while he's a reliable defensive presence for Detroit, his lack of scoring prowess limits his fantasy upside considerably.

Chiarot logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot ended a five-game point drought with the helper. That span also includes his one-game absence due to an upper-body injury he sustained Dec. 21 versus the Canadiens. The 33-year-old defenseman has resumed his top-four role since returning to action, though he's purely a shutdown player. Chiarot has six points, 40 shots on net, 39 PIM, 53 hits and 74 blocked shots through 35 appearances in 2024-25.

EDGE Analysis
Chiarot will miss at least one game after being injured in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Montreal. He has generated one goal, four assists, 40 shots on net, 70 blocked shots, 49 hits and 39 PIM in 33 appearances this season. With Chiarot and Simon Edvinsson (upper body) unavailable, Albert Johansson and William Lagesson will be in Monday's lineup.

Chiarot suffered an upper-body injury during Saturday's 5-1 loss to Montreal, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot was limited to 13:48 of ice time and missed the third period due to the injury. No information about the severity of his injury was provided during the post-game press conference, so it remains to be seen if he'll be an option for Monday's tilt against St. Louis. If Chiarot can't play, then Albert Johansson would probably draw into the lineup.
