Blake scored twice on four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Blake will probably miss the Wild now that the season series between the two teams is over -- he put up three goals and an assist in two games against Minnesota. The 22-year-old winger has three goals and four helpers over his last eight outings. For the season, he's up to six goals, 15 points, 49 shots, 14 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 20 appearances. Blake is firmly on the Hurricanes' second line, but a little more game-to-game consistency would go a long way to making him easy to trust in fantasy.

The 22-year-old winger is at two goals, four assists, 28 shots on net, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating while filling a second-line role.

The Hurricanes signed him to an eight-year deal in the offseason, so he'll be part of the team's long-term plans and looks ready to provide great value. He had 34 points in 80 regular-season games as a rookie last year and could push for 20 goals and 40-50 points in 2025-26.

EDGE Analysis

Blake is entering the final year of his entry-level contract in 2025-26, but his long-term future with the Hurricanes is now secure. The 21-year-old put up 17 goals, 34 points, 141 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 80 regular-season appearances in 2024-25 and added six points in 15 playoff outings. He's already established himself as a regular in the top six and should also see time on the second power-play unit at a minimum. There's some risk of a sophomore slump this year, but Blake has a bright future ahead while playing for a perennial contender.
