Murphy recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy snapped a six-game point drought with his assist on Connor Bedard's first-period marker. With three points in December, this has been Murphy's most productive month of the campaign. The stay-at-home blueliner has five points, 38 shots on net, 72 hits, 90 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 34 appearances overall, so he's not much of an option for most fantasy formats.

Murphy netted a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy cut Chicago's deficit to 4-2 late in the third period, ripping a one-timer past Darcy Kuemper. It's the first goal of the year for Murphy, who now has points in back-to-back contests following a 12-game scoreless streak. He's now up to four points (a goal and three assists) through 27 games this season. While Murphy should continue to see heavy usage in a top-four role, he shouldn't be counted on to provide much offense. He's yet to reach the 20-point threshold through 10 NHL seasons.

Murphy logged an assist, three blocked shots, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy helped out on a Jason Dickinson tally in the second period. The 30-year-old Murphy had gone 12 games without a point, posting a minus-9 rating with 22 hits and 31 blocked shots in that span. He's a true stay-at-home defenseman who is more of a mentor than a scoring leader for the Blackhawks. Murphy has three assists, 67 blocks, 55 hits, 28 PIM, 24 shots on net and a minus-14 rating over 26 appearances.

Murphy didn't factor into the scoring in Wednesday's 3-1 road loss against the Bruins, but he delivered a game-high five hits.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy ended up with a minus-1 in on the night, and he didn't even attempt a shot. However, he was good for a pair of blocked shots and plentiful hits, which will be his calling card. Fantasy managers playing in deeper leagues rewarding those categories will want to keep an eye on the Chicago rearguard.

Murphy scored a goal in a 5-2 victory over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy opened the scoring midway through the second period. He has seven goals, 12 points, 163 hits and 158 blocks in 79 outings this season. Murphy didn't record a point over his previous seven appearances, though he did contribute 12 hits and 14 blocks in that span.

Murphy scored a shorthanded goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy opened the scoring in the first period Sunday, beating Collin Delia with a wrister from the point while the Blackhawks were shorthanded. The goal is Murphy's first since Jan. 26, a stretch of 24 games, and just his fifth point in that span. The 30-year-old blueliner has six goals and 11 points through 71 games this season.

Murphy rejoined the Blackhawks at practice Monday after having been away for personal reasons, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy is currently still mired in a 17-game goal drought dating back to Jan. 26 versus the Flames. During that slump, the 29-year-old Ohio native has recorded three assists, 10 shots and 36 hits while averaging 19:14 of ice time. Without much offensive upside, Murphy shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value at best.

Murphy (personal) will miss Friday's game in Florida, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy will also miss Saturday's tilt in Tampa Bay as Filip Roos will replace him in the lineup. Murphy has five goals, 10 points, 131 hits and 125 blocked shots in 64 games this season.

Murphy recorded an assist versus the Red Wings on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy brought an eight-game pointless streak to a close with Wednesday's tally but still hasn't scored in 17 straight contests dating back to Jan. 26 versus Calgary. Considering the blueliner has just 10 shots during his slump, he shouldn't be expected to suddenly start producing at a high volume.

Murphy produced an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy helped out on Colin Blackwell's go-ahead goal in the third period, though the lead didn't last. The 29-year-old Murphy doesn't contribute a lot of offense, but he's managed three points over his last nine games. He's up to five goals, three helpers, 57 shots on net, 102 hits, 106 blocks, 42 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 50 appearances.
