Keith is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Avalanche, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

It is believed to simply be a rest and not due to any sort of injury. The Blackhawks have the top spot in the Western Conference playoffs sewn up so there is no sense in risking key members of their squad. With Keith and Niklas Hjalmarsson out it is Michal Kempny and Michal Rozsival drawing in.

Keith stretched his point streak to three games with a goal in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

He has a goal and two assists in those three games and seven points (one goal, eight assists) in his last nine. Keith sits fourth in scoring from the blue line with 48 points.

Keith (leg) left Tuesday's game against the Canadiens briefly due to a leg injury but he was able to return.

EDGE Analysis

Keith was helped off the ice by trainers and was unable to put weight on his leg, but he returned and finished with an assist and a plus-1 while still logging 22:37 of ice time. It appears as if Keith and his fantasy owners have dodged a big bullet.

Keith tallied an assist and blocked three shots in a win Sunday against the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran blueliner now has four assists over six games in March, punching an impressive 25:25 of ice time per game during this stretch. Keith's presence on the power play and ability to fire shots on net -- 16 shots on goal over the past six games -- is enough justification to keep him in a starting rotation in most leagues.

Keith enjoyed a two-point night with a goal and an assist in Friday's 5-2 road win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Given that Chicago is loaded with star veterans up front, we wouldn't blame you for overlooking Keith from time to time. However, it's been business as usual for the playmaking defenseman, as he's now surpassed the 34 helpers he chipped in over 67 games last year and now finds himself on pace for a 58-point campaign -- you know a defenseman is a gem in the fantasy world when he puts up numbers that many top-six forwards would be hard-pressed to produce.

Keith collected two assists over 24:56 of ice time during Wednesday's overtime win against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

With two goals and seven points through his past six games, Keith is back to showcasing his offensive upside. He's slightly more inconsistent than in past years, which was highlighted by a recent five-game point drought. Still, the 33-year-old veteran has 38 points through 55 games, and his 0.69 points per game is his highest mark since the 2013-14 campaign.

Keith dished out helpers on the power play and at even strength in Thursday's 4-3 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Keith has four points in his past four games, but also owns a minus-6 rating over that span after finishing minus-1 in this one. The stalwart blueliner can be expected to correct those issues soon, as the team around him should pick things up after snapping a three-game skid here. With 12 of his 35 points coming with the extra man and a plus-6 rating despite his recent shortcomings in that category, Keith remains one of the most consistent all-around options at his position.

Keith scored just his second goal of the year on an overtime power play Tuesday, delivering a 4-3 win against Detroit. He added an even-strength assist and a plus-2 rating.

EDGE Analysis

Well, that's two successes on 94 shots this season for Keith, who also bounced past 30 points with this effort. The veteran blueliner should see his luck continue evening out as the season rolls on, balancing his currently assist-dominant stat line. Oh, he also has a five-game point streak and 13 points in his last 13 games; rarely does a player score so rarely and yet contribute so much.

Keith recorded his first goal of the season and two shots on goal in a 4-1 win over the Sharks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old has a modest three-game point streak with a goal and four points during that span. He might only have one score, but Keith is second on the Blackhawks to only Patrick Kane with 21 assists. And for leagues with ice time as a category, Keith is sixth in the league, playing 26:09 per game.

Keith assisted two man advantage goals in a 5-4 victory over the Islanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Both of his assists were on Artemi Panarin goals, and Chicago went 3-for-3 on the power play Thursday. Keith hasn't scored this season, but this was his sixth game with multiple assists. He has 20 assists, six of which have come on the man advantage, this season.
