Keith set up two of his team's three goals, but it wasn't enough in a 4-3 loss to Vegas on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a much better showing this time against Vegas, considering that the last time he faced the Golden Knights, he posted a minus-3 rating in an ugly loss. This time, the result for his team was the same, but he ended up a plus-1 and stepped up for his owners. Unfortunately, Keith's value is likely to be low until the trade deadline, when the Blackhawks could ship Keith out to start their rebuild and give him a much greater opportunity to produce.

Keith was ejected after just 2:42 of ice time Saturday against Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Keith took exception to a hit by Miikka Salomaki, starting a fracas in which Keith accrued penalties for roughing, instigating, fighting, a misconduct and a game misconduct. The veteran blueliner's team was saddled with a seven-minute penalty kill as a result, but at least Keith's owners in leagues that count PIM got a major boost in the category, as he racked up 27.

Keith posted a minus-3 rating in 20:10 of ice time in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The end result of Tuesday's contest makes Keith's minus-3 rating a little more understandable, but the veteran blueliner has been struggling for a while, notching just two assists while registering a minus-5 rating in his last 13 contests. The two-time Norris Trophy winner still has a prominent role on Chicago's top power-play unit, but the team is simply a mess as a whole at the moment, which has led to less offensive opportunities for Keith. The 35-year-old's owners will simply have to hope Keith, and the Blackhawks, can start turning things around in the month of December.

Keith received a five-minute major and game misconduct for boarding Dillon Dube 2:14 into Saturday's game against the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to being faced with a five-minute penalty kill, Chicago will have to play almost the entire contest without its top defenseman. There's also a possibility that Keith faces additional discipline from the Department of Player Safety, as supplemental punishment is always on the table after a game misconduct.

Keith failed to exceed the 40-point mark for the first time since the shortened 2012-13 campaign this season, totaling just two goals and 32 points in 82 contests.
EDGE Analysis
It was a disappointing year for the Blackhawks offense as a whole, but Keith's drop off was especially notable, as he just racked up six goals and 53 points in 80 games a season ago. There's reason to believe Keith's numbers will rebound if the Blackhawks are able to improve their power-play output in 2018-19, but the 34-year-old blueliner probably shouldn't be counted on for high-end offensive production at this stage in his career.

Keith tallied two assists in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
These helpers give Keith 30 of them on the season, but scoring has been hard to come by for the veteran defenseman recently. In his 20 games previous to this one, he managed only four points. Of course, it's also been noted repeatedly that the 34-year-old has only managed one goal on the year in what has now been 73 games. At this rate, Keith is going to fail to hit the 40-point mark in a full season for the first time since the 2007-08 campaign.

Keith picked up an assist and fired two shots on goal in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
It was nice to see Keith mark the score sheet, but he hasn't been living up to his lofty standards recently, as he's only amassed one goal and one assist in his last 13 games. The veteran blueliner's owners will hope Thursday's contribution is a sign of things to come rather than an anomaly.

Keith dished out a pair of helpers and added four shots on goal in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
Keith continues to distribute the puck at a high level despite an inability to light the lamp, as he's now racked up 25 assists without a goal through 51 games. The career 4.5 percent shooter is bound to break through at some point after failing to light the lamp with any of his first 121 shots this season.

Keith has zero goals in 49 games despite putting 116 shots on net.
EDGE Analysis
You have to assume eventually Keith is going to light the lamp. The fact he's put this many shots on goal and hasn't scored yet is frankly surprising. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the veteran's assists have started to dry up as well. He only has one point in his last seven contests.

Keith dished out two helpers -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Keith still hasn't scored a goal this season, but he does have 22 assists in 42 games. That production puts the veteran defenseman on pace to hit 40 points for the ninth time in the past 10 campaigns, with the only exception coming during the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season.
