Connor Murphy Stats

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy (personal) will be back in action Tuesday against Boston. He sat out the previous two games for personal reasons. The 29-year-old has posted five goals and five assists in 64 games this season, adding 131 hits and 125 blocks. Murphy has been a good source for defensive stats but doesn't offer enough offensively to be a valuable piece in most fantasy leagues. The struggling Blackhawks will also insert forward Mike Hardman and Buddy Robinson into the lineup Tuesday.

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy (concussion) won't be in the lineup against Boston on Tuesday. He left Saturday's 6-3 win over Ottawa on a stretcher and has entered concussion protocols. His absence will mean that Chicago will be missing the NHL's leading shot-blocker and Jake McCabe will be paired with Caleb Jones. Murphy has thrown his body in front of 150 shots this season and his work also includes 130 hits. Clearing the concussion protocols will take some time, so Murphy will likely end up missing multiple games.

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy had to be stretchered off the ice in Saturday's 6-3 win over Ottawa after he took an awkward fall into the boards just 2:40 into the game. The game was delayed for several minutes while Murphy was treated on the ice. It was a scary scene, but according to reports, Murphy wasn't even taken to the hospital and it appears that he managed to avoid serious injury. The 28-year-old has been a huge force defensively for Chicago, recording 130 hits and a league-high 150 blocks in 57 outings this season. He should be regarded as day-to-day for now.
