Chiarot scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged two hits and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot's goal came just one day after he signed a three-year contract extension. The 34-year-old blueliner has been a decent shutdown presence for the Red Wings over the last four years. He's up to 12 points, 66 shots on net, 111 hits, 114 blocked shots, 50 PIM and a minus-1 rating across 55 appearances this season, giving him an outside chance to reach the 20-point mark for the fifth time in his career.

In his 54 outings this year, the 34-year-old defenseman has generated four goals on 64 shots, seven assists and 109 hits while averaging 21:07 of ice time.

Chiarot scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot is on a bit of a hot stretch for a shutdown defenseman, racking up four points over his last six outings. The blueliner is up to eight points, 34 shots on net, 63 hits, 59 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 27 appearances this season. Chiarot won't sustain this pace, but his production in the physical categories has been higher than in recent years, which could have appeal in banger leagues.

Chiarot scored a goal on three shots, added four PIM, doled out six hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot has four points over his last seven games. The 34-year-old blueliner isn't known for his offense, but he has chipped in three goals and four helpers over 24 outings this season, which puts him more than halfway to matching his 13-point total from the 2024-25 campaign. In 2025-26, he's added 26 shots on net, 28 PIM, 57 hits, 49 blocks and a plus-2 rating while seeing time in a top-four role.

Chiarot scored a goal on two shots on net and added an assist, three blocked shots, two hits, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran blueliner got Detroit's comeback from a 3-1 deficit started midway through the third period before getting the puck to Alex DeBrincat in OT for the winner. It was Chiarot's first multi-point performance of the season, and through 22 games, he's produced two goals, four assists, 49 hits, 45 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-5 rating.

Chiarot scored a goal and dished out three hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot scored his first goal of the season midway through the first period to tie the game at 1-1. The 34-year-old blueliner is up to three points, 20 hits and 17 blocks through 10 appearances this year. While he doesn't chip in much offensively, he has provided 100-plus blocks, 100-plus hits and 100-plus shots in three straight seasons. Chiarot's category coverage could provide decent value in deeper fantasy leagues.

Chiarot registered an assist, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot generated a rebound for Mason Appleton to knock home for the game-winning goal at 19:15 of the third period. The 34-year-old Chiarot is a shutdown blueliner in a top-four role for the Red Wings, so he won't often be active on offense. He has a helper, one shot on goal, eight hits, five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through three contests this season.

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.
