Dach notched an assist and three hits in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Dach has a helper in each of the last two games after opening his NHL career with two scoreless efforts. The 22-year-old continues to play on the third line at even strength, and in an offense as thin as Chicago's, there's no guarantee he'll be able to sustain decent scoring numbers. Dach has contributed eight shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-1 rating through four outings. Fantasy managers in redraft formats can afford to wait and see if he performs well over a larger sample.

If he does play, the 21-year-old Dach would be making his NHL debut versus his brother Kirby Dach. In the minors, the younger Dach has been rolling offensively with 25 points in 30 games this year for the IceHogs.

Blackhawks' Colton Dach: Sent down to minors
Rotowire
Dach (ankle) was activated off non-roster injured reserve and reassigned to AHL Rockford on Friday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Dach was going to be hard-pressed to secure a spot on the 23-man roster even before sustaining his ankle injury during the preseason. Still, the 20-year-old center should be a candidate for the occasional recall once he gets some AHL games under his belt and puts his ankle to the test.
