Murphy (concussion) won't play Tuesday versus the Rangers, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Murphy won't play Tuesday, he's expected to join the Blackhawks for their upcoming two-game road trip, so he should be ready to return sooner rather than later. The 28-year-old blueliner has picked up two points through 22 contests this season.

Murphy is in concussion protocol after exiting Thursday's game against Washington, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

If he has a concussion, Murphy could miss a handful of games. The defenseman, who has tallied two points while averaging 21:44 TOI/G this season, should be considered day-to-day until more updates about his condition become available.

Murphy (undisclosed) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy was rocked by an Alex Ovechkin hit in the second period and didn't return to the game. The 28-year-old blueliner's departure leaves the Blackhawks to play the third period with five defensemen. Murphy's status for Saturday's game versus the Rangers will likely be determined in the coming days.

Murphy registered an assist and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy earned his first point since he scored a goal versus the Avalanche on Opening Night. The 28-year-old blueliner is not known for his offense, but this is a slow scoring pace even by his standards. He's been solid from a physical standpoint with 37 hits, 35 blocks and 12 PIM. With just 12 shots on net and a minus-12 rating in 16 games, he's not going to win over many fantasy managers.

Murphy scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy brought the Blackhawks within two goals with his third-period marker. The 28-year-old has long been a solid defender, logging 100-plus blocked shots in six of the last seven years. He signed a four-year contract extension in August, so it appears he'll be part of the Blackhawks' top-four blueliners for awhile, but his limited scoring potential will likely prevent him from widespread fantasy relevance.

Murphy signed a four-year, $17.6 million contract extension with the Blackhawks on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy has developed into the Blackhawks' best all-around defenseman over the past three seasons, picking up 13 goals, 34 helpers, a plus-15 rating, 349 hits and 352 blocks while averaging 20:57 of ice time through 160 contests. The 28-year-old blueliner should continue to rack up plenty of hits and blocks while posting a favorable plus-minus rating over the next four seasons, but he likely won't produce much more than 20 points over the course of a full 82-game campaign.

Murphy scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy got the Blackhawks on the board at 15:19 of the second period. The 28-year-old defenseman doesn't usually receive power-play time -- he was only on the ice because a Radko Gudas penalty was about to expire. Murphy is up to three goals, 14 points, 74 shots on net, 106 blocked shots and 91 hits through 45 contests. His defense-first approach often suppresses his value in most fantasy formats.

Murphy produced an assist, six blocked shots, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy had the secondary helper on Kirby Dach's opening tally in the first period. Aside from the assist, the 28-year-old Murphy was as steady as ever in the physical metrics. The blueliner is up to 12 points, 83 blocked shots, 75 hits and a plus-4 rating through 34 appearances. He plays a noticeable all-around role on the top pairing.

Murphy produced an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy's shot attempt in the third period was deflected in by Dylan Strome to tie the game at 3-3. With four assists in his last six games, Murphy is getting involved on offense lately. The 28-year-old defenseman has 11 points, 76 blocked shots, 69 hits and a plus-3 rating in 32 appearances overall. He'll have some appeal in deeper formats that reward non-scoring production.

Murphy produced an assist, six hits and five blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy was excellent as a defensive presence, and he also earned the secondary helper on a goal by Dylan Strome in the second period. The 28-year-old Murphy has three assists in his last five outings. He's at 10 points, 66 hits, 73 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 31 contests overall. His physical play could earn him some appeal in deeper fantasy formats.
