Jalen Chatfield Fantasy Stats

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jalen Chatfield (concussion) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is available to join the lineup on Friday against the Winnipeg Jets. Due to a concussion, Chatfield has been forced to sit out seven games. Across 13 outings this season, Chafield has gone goalless with 20 shots, but he does have three assists to his name, along with 14 blocks and 10 hits. Chatfield will likely replace Mike Reilly in the lineup, joining K'Andre Miller on the second defensive pairing. Fantasy managers should ignore Chatfield because he doesn't have enough offensive upside to make a significant impact.

In a corresponding move, the Hurricanes recalled Gavin Bayreuther from the minors. Chatfield suffered an upper-body injury on Thursday when he was hit in the head by Minnesota Wild forward Tyler Pitlick. The 29-year-old has totaled three assists, 20 shots, 14 blocks, and 10 hits in 13 appearances this season. In Chatfield's absence, Charles Alexis Legault stepped into the lineup on Saturday and had a strong performance in a 6-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Given the current injury situation on Carolina's blue line, Legault may attract some interest in fantasy leagues. However, it's important to note that prior to Saturday, he had not registered any points in his first six career games.

He was on the receiving end of a high hit by Wild forward Tyler Pitlick, who was assessed a match penalty for an illegal check to the head on the play. Chatfield exited the action after logging only 3:49 of ice time. It's another injury for Carolina's blue line, which hasn't been fully healthy since the first couple of games of the season. If Chatfield has to miss time, the team would be without a steady rearguard who has registered three assists, 20 shots, 14 blocks, and 10 hits in 13 outings this season.

Chatfield missed the end of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a hip issue, but he was skating at the start of training camp.
