Chaffee had a goal and an assist in a 7-6 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday. - The third-line winger has five goals, three assists, 21 hits, 16 shots and eight blocks in 18 games this season. Chaffee is a hard-working winger, but doesn't really offer much fantasy value, even with a role on the second power-play unit. The points were Chaffee's first in six games, and he hasn't picked up any points with the man advantage. |

Chaffee scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators. - Chaffee has scored in back-to-back games and now has three tallies and five points through nine contests overall. The 26-year-old saw 10 seconds of power-play time Monday, but he's still not regularly in the mix with the man advantage. That's about the only complaint one could have with his start to the season, as he's added 13 hits, six shots on net, four PIM and a plus-3 rating while filling a middle-six role. |

The 26-year-old netted his second goal of the year, ending a two-game dry spell on offense. He's up to four points, five shots on net, 13 hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating through eight appearances.

Chaffee posted an assist, four hits and two PIM in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. - Chaffee has found the scoresheet in the last three games (one goal, two assists). He also saw a season-high 13:30 of ice time Tuesday. The 26-year-old has seen the bulk of his NHL ice time on the fourth line in his career, but a strong start to 2024-25 has him positioned to be an option in the middle six on a more regular basis going forward. |

Chaffee scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Senators. - Chaffee got the Lightning within a goal in the third period, but the comeback stalled out there. The 26-year-old has two points, two shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over four appearances this season. Chaffee looks to be secure in a fourth-line role, as head coach Jon Cooper has often opted to scratch one of Cam Atkinson or Conor Sheary up front. |

The winger has added three hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and one shot on goal. He's locked into a fourth-line role, but it wouldn't be surprising if he was occasionally designated a healthy scratch this season. He played in 30 regular-season games with the Lightning last year, producing seven points and 88 hits. |

Chaffee agreed to terms on a two-year, $1.6 million contract with Tampa Bay on Thursday. - Chaffee's deal is a one-way contract, which should increase his chances of playing in more than 30 NHL games this upcoming season. During the 2023-24 campaign, the 26-year-old winger notched four goals on 27 shots, three assists and 88 hits while averaging 11:07 of ice time. Even with his new deal in hand, Chaffee is unlikely to challenge for more than a bottom-six role next year. |

Chaffee has four goals, one assist, 19 shots on net, 58 hits and a minus-1 rating through 21 appearances. He'll continue to compete with Conor Sheary and Austin Watson for a bottom-six role. |

Chaffee has been scratched for three of the Lightning's last five games. - The right-shot power winger has incredible strength and a strong shot. But with the Bolts pushing to nail down a postseason berth, Chaffee has been a student of the game from the press box. He has notched three goals and one assist in 19 NHL outings this season. Chaffee also has 12 goals and 14 assists in 36 games with AHL Syracuse this campaign. |

The 26-year-old forward has three points over 10 appearances this season, primarily filling a bottom-six role. He's added 24 hits and 10 shots on net, but he's unlikely to score enough to draw fantasy interest. |

Chaffee scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-3 win over Arizona on Thursday. - It was a big night for Chaffee -- he scored his first NHL goal on a rebound to give the Bolts a 5-1 lead. It was an early birthday present -- the winger turns 26 on Friday. Chaffee saw action in two games with the Wild in 2021-22. His ice time is limited -- he skated just 8:29 on Thursday. But he's living out his NHL dream, and that's a story we can get behind. It doesn't make Chaffee fantasy worthy, though. |

Chaffee was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Wednesday. - Chaffee has 25 points in 33 games for Syracuse this season, leading the minor-league affiliate in scoring.

Chaffee was promoted from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday. - Chaffee's recall doesn't bode well for Steven Stamkos' availability versus the Canucks on Tuesday. In his two career NHL games back in 2021-22, the 25-year-old Chaffee recorded one shot and seven hits while averaging 7:27 of ice time. If Stamkos doesn't play, Chaffee will likely slot into a bottom-six role. |

Chaffee signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Saturday. - Chaffee got into only 10 games with AHL Iowa last season, but he managed five goals and two assists over that span.

Chaffee signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Wild on Sunday. - Chaffee made his NHL debut with Minnesota last season and was held scoreless in two appearances.

Chaffee was elevated from AHL Iowa on Monday. - Chaffee may be immediately pressed into service against the Canadiens on Tuesday after Marcus Foligno was placed in the league's COVID-19 protocols.

Chaffee was returned to AHL Iowa on Wednesday. - Chaffee's demotion comes as the Wild are off until Saturday's matchup with the Hurricanes. While the team could bring him back to the NHL ahead of that contest, he is unlikely to break into the lineup barring an absence among the forward group. In the minors, the undrafted winger has been showing his offensive upside with eight goals and five assists in 18 contests. If he can keep producing at the level, Chaffee could be in line to make his NHL debut at some point this year. |
None |

Chaffee was elevated from AHL Iowa on Monday. - Chaffee will likely serve primarily as an emergency depth option and shouldn't be expected to get onto the ice. Even if the Michigan native does play, it figures to be in a bottom-six role which will limit his minutes and fantasy value. |
