Blake will sit out Wednesday's matchup with the Canadiens. - Blake is one of seven players being rested ahead of Wednesday's tilt. With the Canes heading into a back-to-back, fantasy managers should probably expect the team to shuffle up who plays and who rests versus the Senators on Thursday. For his part, the 21-year-old Blake has excelled in his rookie campaign with 17 goals and 17 helpers, including seven power-play points, in 80 games for the Canes. |

Blake scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Rangers. - Both points came as the Hurricanes put the game away early by jumping out to a 4-0 lead midway through the second period. Blake, a fourth-round pick in the 2021 Draft, has emerged as a top-six asset down the stretch for Carolina, and over the last 13 games the 21-year-old rookie has delivered six goals and 12 points. |

Blake scored a goal and fired five shots on net in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to Washington. - Blake found the back of the net for Carolina's second goal of the game off a feed from linemate Seth Jarvis. The 21-year-old Blake is up to 16 goals, 32 points and 138 shots on net in 78 games this season. His first full campaign at the NHL level has taken a great turn in the latter half of the year with 10 points in his last 12 games. Part of the change can be attributed to his move to Carolina's top line to play alongside Jarvis and Sebastian Aho. Blake has even begun to see consistent power-play time with the Hurricanes' first unit. If Carolina elects to make limited changes in the offseason, Blake will likely retain these roles ahead of next season and is a player to watch in all fantasy formats for 2025-26. |

Blake scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings. - Blake has four goals and five assists over his last nine contests. He got the Hurricanes on the board in the second period of Friday's game, but they were never able to catch up to the Red Wings. Blake is up to 15 goals, 31 points, 133 shots on net, 30 PIM and a plus-11 rating across 75 appearances. He's been a good fit on the top line and should be considered for fantasy rosters to close out the campaign. |

Blake scored two power-play goals, one the game-winner, in Wednesday's 5-1 victory over the Capitals. - The 21-year-old rookie slotted home a rebound in the first period before flipping a backhand over Charlie Lindgren in the third for the game's final tally. Blake has caught fire as the regular season draws to a close, and over the last eight contests he's collected three goals and eight points while skating in a top-six role at even strength and handling a spot on Carolina's top power-play unit. Blake has 14 goals in 74 appearances during his first full NHL campaign, but an impressive six of them have been game-winners. |

Blake scored an unassisted goal and provided two assists in Friday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens. - Blake found the back of the net when he redirected a shot past Sam Montembeault for Carolina's first goal just 41 seconds into the game. He then tallied two assists in the second period, including the primary pass on Taylor Hall's power-play goal. The 21-year-old Blake is up to 12 goals, 16 assists and 126 shots on net in 72 appearances this season. The young winger has been making the most of his time on Carolina's top line since the deal that sent Mikko Rantanen to the Stars. Blake has six points in his last six games, including two tallies on the power play. He's heating up at the right time in fantasy and has good value in most fantasy formats for the playoffs. |

Blake logged a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Ducks. - Blake has three helpers over his last four contests. The 21-year-old winger's goal drought is up to 21 contests, though he has a decent nine assists in that span. He's a top-line winger currently, though his offense doesn't match that assignment fully. Blake is up to 25 points, 121 shots on net and a plus-10 rating through 70 appearances and continues to show overall growth in his rookie year, even if the offense hasn't fully come through yet. |

Blake notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Sharks. - Blake has a helper in each of the last two games. The 21-year-old looks to be getting more comfortable alongside Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis on the top line, though Blake is most at risk of losing that spot should head coach Rod Brind'Amour shuffle his lines. For the season, Blake has 24 points, 112 shots on net, 30 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 68 appearances in his rookie campaign. |

Blake registered an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Flyers. - Blake has been in a first-line since the trade deadline, taking over the spot vacated by Mikko Rantanen's move to Dallas. It hasn't really paid off for Blake lately -- he snapped a five-game point drought with his helper Saturday, and he's been limited to seven helpers over 18 contests during a goal-scoring slump. The 21-year-old rookie has 23 points, 110 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 67 appearances. While Blake is in a position to succeed, many fantasy managers will need a bit more proof-of-concept before putting him on their rosters. |

Blake collected two assists in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames. - Blake assisted on both goals in Sunday's win, and the 21-year-old rookie continues to find ways to make an impact in his first full year in the NHL. He's up to 11 goals, as well as 11 assists, across 61 contests while also posting a plus-4 rating, 96 shots and 26 PIM. |

Blake collected two assists in Saturday's 7-3 win over Utah. - The 21-year-old rookie skated in the top six once again and featured on the top power-play unit for an injury-depleted Carolina roster that was most notably missing Mikko Rantanen (lower body). Blake has taken advantage of his opportunities of late, producing a goal and six points over the last eight games, but the Hurricanes could be a lot healthier on the other side of the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, bumping Blake down into a lesser role. |

Blake notched an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks. - Blake set up Jaccob Slavin for the Hurricanes' game-winning goal at 5:59 of the second period. Over seven contests in a top-line role, Blake has two goals and three assists, as well as 14 shots on net. The 21-year-old rookie also saw a season-high 19:04 of ice time Thursday with the Hurricanes unable to dress a full roster due to the absences of Sebastian Aho (illness) and Taylor Hall (illness). Managers in dynasty formats should already be familiar with Blake's fast ascension to the NHL, but he's doing enough now to get on the radar in redraft formats too. |

Blake scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two PIM in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jackets. - Blake has three points and eight shots on net over four contests since he was promoted to the top line. The 21-year-old rookie is up to 11 goals, 16 points, 71 shots, 22 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 49 appearances. It's been a steady campaign for Blake, and he'll have upside as a source of points and PIM as long as he remains on Sebastian Aho's wing. |

Blake scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights. - Blake has been on the fourth line for much of the season, but he moved up to play alongside Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov at even strength in this contest. The move paid off, as Blake scored for just the second time in 10 games when he put the Hurricanes ahead 2-1 early in the third period. The 21-year-old rookie has 10 goals, four assists, 65 shots on net and 20 PIM over 46 appearances. He'll be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats as long as he remains on the top line, though his 14:06 of ice time Friday suggests his role won't dramatically increase right away. |

Blake scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs. - Blake tallied at 4:58 of the second period, and his goal put the Hurricanes ahead for good. This was his fifth game-winner among nine goals over 42 appearances. The 21-year-old rookie has added four assists, 60 shots on net, 20 PIM and a plus-2 rating. Blake has mainly played on the fourth line, with an average of 11:45 of ice time per game this season, though he's covered 12:35 per game since the holiday break. |

Blake scored a power-play goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils. - Blake has enjoyed playing the Devils this year, earning three points over the four-game season series. The 21-year-old forward is up to eight goals, four assists, 56 shots on net, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 36 outings overall. He has a point in each of the last two contests and may be gaining a bit of momentum near the midpoint of the season, though his fourth-line role will likely continue to limit his output. |

Blake was credited with an assist in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Devils. - Blake registered the primary helper on Eric Robinson's ninth goal of the season which opened the scoring in the first period. It was Blake's first point across 11 games in December. The 21-year-old has a spot on the No. 2 power-play unit, but his lack of consistent production lately can be attributed to his fourth-line role. Blake's 16:21 of ice time Friday was the most he has received since Nov. 20. The North Dakota native has recorded seven goals and 11 points through 35 outings. Blake will attempt to keep the positive momentum rolling in Saturday's rematch against the Devils. |

Blake has gone 11 games without a point dating back to Nov. 30. - The 21-year-old remains in a fourth-line role, but the absence of Jack Drury (hand) appears to have taken the wind out of Blake's sails. Blake isn't a huge part of the Hurricanes' offense anyway, but he has done alright with 10 points, 49 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 34 appearances. He does not appear to be at risk of losing his spot in the lineup, as the team is carrying just 12 healthy forwards. |

Blake scored the go-ahead goal in the third period of Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers. - He took a feed from Jack Drury between the circles and beat Igor Shesterkin clean with a wrister by the blocker. It came on the power play. Blake has seven goals and two assists in 22 games in a fourth-line role, which limits his fantasy value even if he has two snipes in his last three games. |

Blake scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets. - Blake's goal in the second period put the Hurricanes up 4-3, but they squandered the lead late in the third. This was his second goal in the last five games. The 21-year-old rookie is up to six goals, two assists, 38 shots on net, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 20 appearances. While's he impressed to begin his first full campaign, his chances are limited by a fourth-line role, so his utility in fantasy is limited to deep formats and dynasty leagues at this time. |

Blake scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Senators. - Blake's goal stretched the Hurricanes' lead to 3-0 in the third period. The 21-year-old rookie is getting an opportunity on the top power-play unit while seeing fourth-line usage at even strength, so he's worth consideration in deeper formats. He snapped a four-game point drought with his first career power-play point, and he's now at five goals, two assists, 30 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 16 appearances this season. |

Blake scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers. - The goal was Blake's fourth point in the last five games, as the Hurricanes' fourth line got them on the board at 14:25 of the first period. The 21-year-old rookie has done well in a limited role with six points, 18 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 11 appearances. He's picked up at least one shot on goal in all but one game so far, and he remains on the second power-play unit despite failing to record a point with that group. |

Blake scored a goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Bruins. - Blake tipped home a Dmitry Orlov shot at 17:52 of the first period as part of a stretch of three goals in 52 seconds for the Hurricanes. Blake has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games (one goal, two assists). The 21-year-old rookie is up to five points, 16 shots on net, six PIM and a plus-1 rating through nine outings. He's averaged 10:48 of ice time, but he's firmly in a fourth-line role with the Hurricanes carrying just 12 healthy forwards. |

Blake produced an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kraken. - Blake set up a Jack Drury tally in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. Through seven contests, Blake has three points, 14 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-2 rating. The 21-year-old forward has held onto a fourth-line role so far and is likely to continue to do so since the Hurricanes are not carrying an extra forward on the roster. |

Blake was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday. - As expected, Blake's demotion to the minors was a temporary move. He has recorded two goals, 12 shots on net and one hit in four appearances with Carolina this season. Blake will likely occupy a fourth-line role and get time on the second power-play unit against Edmonton on Tuesday. |

Blake was loaned to AHL Chicago on Sunday. - It could very well just be a paper move, as Blake has two goals in his first four NHL games. The 21-year-old winger could rejoin Carolina ahead of their next contest Tuesday in Edmonton. |

Blake scored a goal on three shots while adding four penalty minutes and a hit in Friday's 4-1 win over Pittsburgh. - Blake evened things up midway through the first period, roughly one minute after the Penguins opened the scoring via Drew O'Connor, and this was the youngster's second goal in as many games. A fourth-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, Blake has two goals in four NHL games throughout his career, and while the small-sample size rule applies here, he's undoubtedly opening the season in a good run of form. |

Blake scored his first NHL goal Tuesday in a 4-2 win over the Devils. - The goal stood as the game winner. Blake deflected Dmitry Orlov's wrist shot past Jacob Markstrom at 10:06 of the third period. Blake, who is the son of former NHLer Jason Blake, was drafted in the fourth round (109th) in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. It was his third NHL game. |

Blake was brought up from AHL Chicago on Tuesday. - Blake is back on the Carolina roster ahead of the team's season-opening contest against Tampa Bay on Friday. However, it's unclear if he will be in the lineup for Opening Night. Blake made his NHL debut in 2023-24, recording two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in 15:18 of ice time against Columbus on April 16. |

Blake was loaned to AHL Chicago on Monday. - Before turning pro, Blake produced 22 goals and 60 points in 40 games during his sophomore season with the University of North Dakota in 2023-24. He logged 15:18 of ice time against Columbus on April 16 during his NHL debut, posting two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating. Blake should see plenty of ice time in the minors this campaign and could be a call-up option for the Hurricanes at some point. |

Blake signed a three-year, entry-level contract Wednesday. The 2023-24 campaign will count as the first season of that agreement. - Blake scored 22 goals and 60 points in 40 NCAA games with the University of North Dakota this season. His superb play at the college level has resulted in him being a top-three finalist for the Hobey Baker Award. The Hurricanes took him with the No. 109 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, but given Blake's growth, he might prove to be a steal at that draft position. It wouldn't be surprising if Blake makes his Hurricanes debut next season or even gets his first taste of NHL hockey in one of the last contests of the 2023-24 campaign. |
