The Washington Capitals made a big splash on the first day of free agency, trading for former Ottawa Senators defenseman Jakob Chychrun. The Caps sent over Nick Jensen and a 2026 third-round pick in return. While Chychrun wasn't incredible for the Sens last season, this return feels awfully light for a player who managed to put up 41 points (14 goals, 27 assists) from the back end in 2023-24. Chychrun will likely slot into a top pairing role alongside John Carlson and could get some time on the second powerplay unit as well. He is a decent depth defenseman for fantasy with major upside if Carlson gets injured.
Jakob Chychrun Banged Up In Practice, Status Questionable For Thursday
Ottawa Senators defenseman Jakob Chychrun (undisclosed) left practice early on Thursday and will be a game-time decision against Florida. Chychrun was shaken up late in practice and head coach Jacques Martin was unsure on whether he would be able to play tonight. The blueliner has been on a roll lately, notching six points (four goals, two assists) in his last five games. He has also been a part of the first powerplay unit of late, so if he is out the Sens would need to find a replacement. Claude Giroux and Shane Pinto are the most offensively talented players on the Sens' second unit, so one of them would make sense. Either way, Chychrun's absence would be a tough blow for fantasy players in their championship or semi-final this week.
Jakob Chychrun Caps Off Wonderful Weekend With An Assist
Ottawa Senators defenseman Jakob Chychrun had a memorable weekend, amassing four points in victories over Philadelphia and Tampa Bay. After racking up two goals and an assist against the Flyers on Saturday, Chychrun added one more assist to his tally in Sunday's 5-2 triumph. The 26-year-old has bounced back well from a rough season opener, where he had no points and finished a minus-three in a 5-3 loss to Carolina. In addition to four points, Chychrun has also tallied eight blocks through the first three games of the season, so he's been a busy man at both ends of the ice.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Jakob Chychrun provided two goals as the team defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 in overtime Monday. The talented blue-liner netted a power-play goal in the opening period and finished the game in overtime with an even-strength marker. Chychrun enjoyed a busy night with six shots on goal, five blocks, and two hits in 29:47 of ice time. This was his first outing since suffering a lower-body injury on March 23 in a contest versus Tampa Bay. Chychrun has unfortunately hit multiple health issues in recent years and has been limited to less than 50 games in back-to-back seasons. He made 48 appearances last term, registering 33 points (nine goals, 24 assists) with 144 shots on goal, 83 blocks, and 55 hits. His ability to rack up stats at both ends of the ice makes Chychrun an appealing fantasy target, but his injury history is definitely something to consider.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Jakob Chychrun (lower body) won't play Saturday against New Jersey and will be out for "a couple of weeks", per head coach D.J. Smith. He was injured Wednesday versus the Lightning and it looks like Chychrun won't be able to return until the final couple of games of the regular season. The 24-year-old has been quiet since his move to Canada, but he has enjoyed a productive season overall, posting 33 points across 48 games with 144 shots on goal, 55 hits and 83 blocks. Jake Sanderson will be the main beneficiary of Chychrun's absence and will even join the top power-play unit for Saturday's action.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Jakob Chychrun (undisclosed) is considered doubtful for Saturday's meeting with New Jersey. He suffered an unspecified injury Thursday against Tampa Bay, playing only 18 minutes. Chychrun was a big addition for the Senators at the start of the month, but he's still trying to find his feet at his new club, having registered two goals and three assists in 12 games. Jake Sanderson practiced in Chychrun's spot on the second defensive pairing on Friday, and he will be set for a bigger role if Chychrun can't get healthy for Saturday's game.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Jakob Chychrun found the back of the net for the first time since being traded to the team in Saturday's 5-2 victory against the Blue Jackets. Chychrun fired a shot past Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins in the early minutes of the second period to give the Senators a three-goal advantage and get on the board offensively with his new team. Chychrun has proven to be a threat to score as he totaled 18 goals through 56 games as a member of the Coyotes in the shortened 2020-21 season, and fantasy managers should get used to his scoring ability down the stretch as the team pushes for a playoff spot.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Jakob Chychrun could be ready for his debut Thursday against the Rangers, with the team set to decide prior to the game if he can go or not. It's been less than 24 hours since Ottawa picked up Chychrun from Arizona and the talented rearguard traveled all night to link up with the team in New York. The 24-year-old showed off fine form on a bad team and should be able to do even better with much more quality around him in the Senators team.
The Ottawa Senators have acquired defenseman Jakob Chychrun from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for a conditional first-round draft pick in 2023, a conditional second-round selection in 2024, and a second-round pick in 2026, according to the team. Chychrun was one of the biggest names expected to be traded at the deadline, and the 24-year-old defenseman was having another solid season prior to serving as a healthy scratch to end his tenure with the Coyotes. Chychrun has scored seven goals and added 21 assists through 36 games, and he is a recommended option across all fantasy formats.
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun will be kept out of action for the whole week, as the club is getting ready to move him in a trade. Chychrun also wasn't in the lineup on Saturday against St. Louis. The 24-year-old has been enjoying a productive campaign at both ends of the ice, and there are multiple teams after his services. With Chychrun out of the lineup, Juuso Valimaki crushed it against the Blues with four assists. He has secured a spot on the top power-play unit and will enter Monday's matchup against Nashville with a three-game point streak.
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun lifted his team to a 3-2 victory over Minnesota on Monday with two goals. He tied the game at one with a power-play marker in the second period and popped up with another game-tying goal in an even-strength situation in the third. Jack McBain eventually had the game-winner. Chychrun ended a 14-game goal drought and reached 27 points for the year. In 35 games, he has had seven goals and 20 assists with 111 shots on goal, 43 hits and 55 blocks. He's set to be a very popular man ahead of the trade deadline and Chychrun is finishing off his Coyotes career strongly.
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun produced a pair of third-period assists and had six shots and a plus-three rating in Friday's 5-4 win over the Islanders. It was a big performance from the 24-year-old, who is looking to impress teams to earn a move elsewhere. Chychrun has been one of the best d-men in fantasy hockey since making his season debut on Nov. 21, posting 11 points in 12 games with 47 shots, 17 hits, 16 blocks and a plus-eight rating. Teams looking at him will be very encouraged by what they are seeing from Chychrun following his recovery from wrist surgery.
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun (wrist) is expected to make his season debut next Monday versus Nashville. He's had a bunch of injury issues since last season and is currently trying to recover from a wrist problem. Chychrun, who has been actively seeking a trade elsewhere, has averaged 0.42 points per game in the desert but showed in 2019-20 that he is capable of a lot more, getting 0.73 points per game and leading all blue-liners with 18 goals. The 24-year-old will look to boost his trade value once he's back on the ice, and he should feature heavily for the team right away.
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun (lower body) will miss two to four weeks of action. He was first ruled out for one week, but the team updated his status Monday night. This is bad news for multiple parties, with Chychrun a trade target for a number of teams ahead of next Monday's deadline. Kyle Capobianco entered the Coyotes lineup in his absence in Monday's 5-3 win over Ottawa, and the first defensive pairing of Dysin Mayo and Shayne Gostisbehere saw a lot of action.
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun (lower body) is set to miss the team's busy four-game week. The talented blue-liner was hurt in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Boston and was sent home from the team's five-game road trip, which continues with a stop in Ottawa on Monday. The Coyotes also face Montreal, Pittsburgh and San Jose this week. Chychrun's name has been in trade rumors and he might actually have played his final game as a Coyote, with the trade deadline coming up next Monday. The 23-year-old has had a pretty rough season with 21 points and a minus-20 rating in 47 games, but his performances have improved in recent weeks and he should have plenty of suitors.
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun had to make an early exit against Boston on Saturday after suffering a lower-body injury. He skated for just 5:51 and didn't collect any stats. The early reports are luckily saying that Chychrun shouldn't be out for long. The 23-year-old has had a very tricky season, but he's been on fire in recent games, collecting almost half (10) of his points this season (21) across his last seven appearances. The Coyotes will play next on Monday against Ottawa and we should know more about Chychrun's injury by then.
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun suffered an upper-body injury last night and will not play at home against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. It is unknown how much more time he will miss. Chychrun played just 18:36 against Florida and did have five shots on goal before the injury. He is Arizona's number one defenseman. Even though Chychrun was struggling offensively with just seven points in 26 games, not having him in the lineup leaves a void. Furthermore, his 24:50 of ice time will have to be replaced somehow along with his 3+ shots and 2+ blocked shots a game of late.
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun slowly is climbing out of the abyss of his poor start to the 2021-22 season. Chychrun now has three assists in his last six games after assisting on Anton Stralman's goal Tuesday night. Overall, the blue-liner now has 20 shots on goal in his previous half-dozen contests. It has been a brutal season for Arizona as a whole, but particularly for Chychrun. Throw out the minus-25, and the defenseman may be nowhere near last year's 41 points in 56 games, but he might be closer than most believe.
Jakob Chychrun Contributes Other Ways in Arizona Loss
For Jakob Chychrun, it was a long night as the Arizona Coyotes lost yet again. This time it was a shutout defeat at the hands of the New York Islanders. Chychrun attempted six shots and four went on net. The problem is the defender only had one, maybe two quality chances the entire game. This one was rough to watch but Arizona was showing some effort on the ice. There is little doubt about that. Chychrun will turn it around but this will take time.ss

Chychrun is the eighth-most productive blueliner in the league, and he's tied for most goals among defensemen with Edmonton's Darnell Nurse. The 22-year-old has added 75 blocks and 50 hits to his line with a minus-two rating in 46 games. Having recorded points in three straight games, Chychrun has a chance to match his longest point streak of the campaign in Wednesday's rematch with the Wild.
