Chiarot scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot has a goal and an assist over his last two contests, marking the first time he's been on the scoresheet in consecutive games this season. The 33-year-old blueliner continues to fill a shutdown role in the top four. He's produced five points, 34 shots on net, 39 PIM, 45 hits and 62 blocked shots over 29 outings, though that also comes with a minus-11 rating indicative of heavy usage on a weaker team.

Chiarot logged an assist and three hits in Monday's 6-5 shootout win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot has picked up two helpers over his last six games. The 33-year-old remains in a top-four role, but his offense is likely to be limited due to the defensive nature of his play. For the season, he has four assists, 31 shots on net, 39 PIM, 43 hits, 62 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 28 contests.

Chiarot notched an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and four PIM in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot snapped an 18-game point drought with his helper Friday. He has 10 PIM over his last three games -- Chiarot isn't afraid to play tough, but if the penalties get sloppy, he could lose playing time. The defenseman is at three assists, 27 shots on net, 31 PIM, 34 hits, 51 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 23 outings. The 33-year-old plays a stay-at-home style, so a lack of offense shouldn't some as a surprise.

Chiarot's scoring drought reached 14 games in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot is a shutdown defenseman in the Red Wings' top four, but this is a brutal slump even by his standards. He's reached the 20-point mark in two of the last three years and missed by one point in the other campaign in that span. He's opened 2024-25 with two assists, 22 shots on net, 21 PIM, 25 hits, 41 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 18 appearances. Chiarot's not in any obvious danger of being scratched, but he won't be much of a factor in fantasy as long as his offense is cold.

Chiarot notched an assist, two hits, four blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot has a helper, four hits and six blocks through two contests. His spot on the top pairing will help him pick up some ancillary offense when he gets minutes with the Red Wings' big names, and he even saw time on the second power-play unit Saturday. Chiarot's best season was a 26-point campaign split between Montreal and Florida in 2021-22, though he has reached the 20-point mark in four of the last six seasons while adding ample physical play.

Chiarot finished with five goals, 15 assists, 163 hits and 167 blocked shots for the 2023-24 campaign.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot averaged 19:47 of ice time in his second season with the Red Wings. He's a serviceable blueliner, albeit not the type that will captivate the masses in fantasy hockey. Chiarot's power-play role was left behind in Montreal when the Habs dealt him to the Panthers in March of 2022, and the Wings have since rendered him more of a stay-at-home style of defenseman. Chiarot is halfway through a four-year, $19 million deal with the Wings, which has a modified no-trade clause baked in there as well.

Chiarot recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot provided the secondary helper on the first of two goals for burgeoning winger Lucas Raymond. As a second-pairing defenseman who rarely works on the power play, Chiarot isn't the type of player that fantasy managers generally covet. However, the veteran is mixing it up a bit, pairing 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) with 130 hits and 135 blocked shots through 63 games.

Chiarot potted a goal in overtime in the 4-3 win over the Kraken on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot pinched in from the point, took a cross-ice pass from Dylan Larkin and wristed it top shelf over Seattle goalie Joey Daccord 1:07 into overtime. Chiarot added two PIM, two shots on net and a plus-2 rating in 20:39 of ice time. It was only the fourth goal and 14th point through 50 games on the season for the 32-year old defenseman. He has never hit double-digit goals in his career and has topped the 20-point mark just three times, most recently in 2021-22.

Chiarot notched an assist, two hits, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot snapped a three-game drought with the helper in his second game back from missing five with an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old blueliner has 13 points, 65 shots on net, 94 hits, 101 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 47 appearances. His defense-first role means that fantasy managers don't need to track his production closely despite his top-four usage for the Red Wings.

Chiarot (upper body) is slated to be available Saturday versus Vancouver, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Chiarot, who last played Jan. 19, has three goals, 12 points, 34 PIM, 84 hits and 93 blocks in 45 contests this season. With the defenseman set to return, Justin Holl might be a healthy scratch Saturday.
