Sam Rinzel | Fantasy Outlook
Rinzel handles third-pairing duties as Blackhawks host Jets
Sam Rinzel and the Blackhawks host the Winnipeg Jets tonight at United Center looking to rebound from a tough start. Chicago (2-5-0) enters as a slight home underdog against a solid Winnipeg club (4-1-1) in what projects to be a higher-scoring environment, with Clay Stevenson (unconfirmed) in goal for the Jets. The 22-year-old blueliner has shown good maturity after early-season lineup shuffling, posting two points across six games. Rinzel is currently skating on Chicago’s third defense pair with Oliver Moore and Dominic Toninato while seeing power-play exposure on the second unit.
Our projections expect a limited fantasy output for Rinzel tonight, modeling around ~0.5–1.0 point, ~1–2 shots on goal, and nearly a blocked shot for about 1.8 fantasy points. He remains unlikely to score a goal given his lower-pairing ice time, though PP2 deployment leaves a sliver of offensive upside. Looking at the broader week, Chicago plays three total games, leaving just one remaining contest after tonight, with our models expecting roughly 1.4 fantasy points across the slate. Given his restricted minutes and modest point floor, fantasy managers should look elsewhere. Today's action: Bench.
