Dach has notched eight goals and 23 points while averaging 14:16 of ice time in 64 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Dach hasn't put up a ton of points this season, but he's adapted to the speed and physicality of the NHL impressively well for a teenager, and the offensive production will come as he matures physically while taking on a larger role over the next few years. The third overall pick from the 2019 draft will be worth a flier in the later rounds of next year's fantasy drafts as a high-upside depth option.

Dach managed an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The 19-year-old phenom has compiled eight goals and 15 assists through 64 games, all while averaging 1:34 of power-play ice time as a rookie. Interest in Dach should be limited to deep leagues and dynasty formats, but the former WHL Saskatoon standout requiring only three games in the AHL thus far speaks to his rapid progression.

Dach registered a goal and an assist in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Dach added two shots on goal and two PIM in the contest. The 19-year-old has run streaky of late -- he had a five-game point streak, followed by a three-game drought prior to Saturday's two-point effort. He's at eight goals and 19 points in 52 contests this season.

Dach collected a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Dach has been excellent with a goal and five helpers during his five-game point streak, with Wednesday's assist being the first power-play point in that stretch. The 19-year-old is up to 17 points and 72 shots in 48 games this season. At his current pace, a 30-point campaign is doable -- not bad for a rookie who just started getting top-six minutes recently.

Dach managed an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie center is on a four-game point streak -- he has a goal and four helpers in that span. For the season, Dach is up to 16 points, 69 shots on goal and an even plus-minus rating in 47 contests. The 19-year-old has worked his way into a top-six role, which could interest fantasy owners in deeper formats.

Dach scored a goal and dished an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Dach got the Blackhawks on the board with a backhand goal in the second period. He later set up Patrick Kane in the third period. After a 12-game dry spell, Dach has three points in his last two games. Hopefully, the 19-year-old will sustain that momentum after the bye week when the Blackhawks visit the Coyotes on Feb. 1.

Dach produced an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Dach served David Kampf for the game-winning goal midway through the third period. He entered Sunday on a 12-game point drought, and he now has just one goal and one helper in his last 29 outings. Dach is at 12 points and 64 shots on goal through 44 games, but fantasy owners in redraft formats can likely find better offense elsewhere.

Dach scored the game-tying goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-3 comeback win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Dach struck just 28 seconds after Patrick Kane brought the Blackhawks within one. The rookie center had gone 16 games without a goal and 15 straight contests without a point entering Saturday. Dach now has six goals, 11 points and 44 shots through 31 appearances. There will be some ups and downs this season with the 18-year-old, but owners in dynasty formats would be wise to stash him on their rosters for the future.

The Blackhawks aren't going to loan Dach to Team Canada for the 2020 IIHF World Junior Championship, NBC Sports Chicago's Charlie Roumeliotis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dach hasn't registered a point in his last 13 games, and he's only averaged 12:58 of ice time over that span, but the Blackhawks clearly believe that his development will benefit most from continuing to play against men in the NHL rather than inferior talent at the World Championship. Dach isn't a viable fantasy asset at this stage in his career, but he's only 18 years old, and will only continue to improve as the season progresses.

Dach registered the first two-goal game of his career and had four shots with two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The 18-year-old scored the game's first two goals, with his second standing up as the game-winner. Dach, the third overall pick in the 2019 draft, enjoyed a very productive week with four goals and six points in four games. He's still being somewhat protected by Chicago in terms of ice time, but he's making a case for more responsibility with his recent production.
