Chiarot will not play Saturday, as coach Derek Lalonde said that he has 'been battling through something for a while,' Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lalonde said that Chiarot is expected to be out week-to-week but expects him to return before the end of the campaign. Chiarot has five goals and 18 points in 67 games with the Red Wings this season. He has been a veteran presence on the blue line, chipping in with 136 hits and 152 blocked shots.

Chiarot garnered an assist, along with three shots, versus the Red Wings on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Chiarot needs just two more points to get back over the 20-point threshold for the fourth time in the last five seasons. While the veteran blueliner will never be a top-end fantasy target, he should offer decent mid-range value given his limited offensive upside and his ability to rack up hits and blocks.

Chiarot notched two assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Chiarot and his blue line partner Moritz Seider picked up both assists on Detroit's first two goals of the game, giving the Wings a 2-0 lead before three minutes had elapsed in the first period. Chiarot snapped an eight-game point drought in the process, and on the season the 31-year-old is up to four goals and 15 points through 51 contests.

Chiarot collected two assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Chiarot factored into the first two goals for Detroit, putting a merciful end to an eight-game point drought. In case you missed it, the top-pairing defender came up unscathed following his collision with Lucas Raymond in practice Friday, but Raymond wasn't so fortunate, as he ended up missing the latest contest with a lower-body injury.

Chiarot recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Chiarot is on pace for a career-high 24 points in his first season with the Winged Wheel. However, we caution this based on the best-case scenario of the journeyman staying healthy the entire season, which we wouldn't necessarily count on given that he has a decade's worth of NHL service time without logging 82 games over a given campaign. But another positive is that Chiarot's consistently put the pressure on opponents with 87 blocked shots and 96 hits through 41 games.

Chiarot went plus-2 with an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Chiarot was resolute in helping the Wings claw their way back from a four-goal deficit and steal a road win. The 31-year-old was well rested since Friday's game against the Senators got cancelled due to severe weather, and he picked up 22:19 of ice time, including 1:46 shorthanded, in this comeback thriller. Despite having a decade's worth of NHL service time, Chiarot has never played an 82-game season, but he has yet to miss a game in his debut campaign with Detroit.

Chiarot registered an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

The Wings put an end to a six-game losing streak, despite only two of their defensemen -- Chiarot and Olli Maata -- recording points in the high-scoring affair. Chiarot has two goals and six assists through 32 games, which has him in line with his career average after stops between Winnipeg, Montreal, Florida and Detroit, respectively.

Chiarot found the back of the net in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Chiarot has two goals and three assists working against a minus-5 rating through 18 games this season, which is his first with the Red Wings. The top-pairing defender has yet to produce a point at home, so he will have to pick up the slack at Little Caesar's Arena in order to be relevant again in some of the shallower fantasy leagues.

Chiarot notched an assist, five blocked shots, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Chiarot ended a four-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old hasn't done a lot on offense this year, but that's to be expected -- he's more of a physical presence capable of taking on top-four minutes. For the season, he has a goal, three assists, 36 hits, 32 blocked shots, 34 shots on net, 14 PIM and a minus-5 rating in 17 contests.

Chiarot chipped in five hits and three blocks during a 2-1 win over the Wild on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Chiarot, who is serving as a top-pairing blueliner, remains focused on his defensive responsibilities. The 31-year-old remains pointless in six-straight games but is finding different ways to contribute. He shared the team lead in hits and tied for second in blocked shots in 22:04 of ice time.
