Minnesota Wild defenseman Declan Chisholm (lower body) will return from a four-game absence on Wednesday against the New York Rangers. He has shaken off a lower-body injury and will take Jon Merrill's spot on the third defensive pairing. Chisholm has badly struggled on the offensive end in recent months, notching just two points in 2025. For the season, he has tallied two goals and 12 points in 61 appearances with 61 shots on goal. Chisholm's work has also included 66 blocks. The 25-year-old is unlikely to make an impact in fantasy hockey.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Declan Chisholm (undisclosed) exited Monday's contest against the Dallas Stars early. Chisholm suffered this injury after blocking a shot. After the contest, the team did not provide an update on his status. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Tuesday evening against the Vegas Golden Knights. Before exiting the contest, Chisholm logged two penalty minutes with two blocked shots. If he were to sit out on Tuesday evening, Jonas Brodin (lower body) could re-enter the starting lineup. Through 61 games this season, Chisholm has tallied just 12 points (two goals) and has added 29 hits with 66 blocked shots. Given his low ice time and minimal offensive production, he will not carry any fantasy value.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Declan Chisholm will be a healthy scratch against Chicago on Sunday. The young blue-liner heads to the pressbox despite producing assists in back-to-back games. Overall, Chisholm has tallied three assists in 10 appearances this season. Chisholm's spot in the lineup will go to Jon Merrill, who makes only his second appearance in six games. Merrill has logged one assist in 10 games. He will add more defensive ability and physicality to the Wild lineup but won't provide any value to fantasy managers.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Declan Chisholm (illness) will miss Thursday's season opener against Columbus. He's caught an illness bug right before the start of the season and is forced to sit out at least one game. The 24-year-old registered eight points (three goals, five assists) and 36 blocks in 29 games with the Wild last season. Jon Merrill will fill in for Chisholm on the third defensive pairing against the Blue Jackets. Merrill is very limited offensively and doesn't offer enough defensively either to be considered a fantasy target.
