Top Mitchell Chaffee News

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Available to return

    Chaffee (upper body) will be an option for Game 1 against Florida on Tuesday, per Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com.

    After missing Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Rangers, Chaffee has been a regular at Tampa Bay practices leading into the playoffs. He had 12 goals, 18 points, 68 shots on net and 133 hits across 66 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. Chaffee could play in Game 1 versus the Panthers or be a healthy scratch if the Lightning dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Out of action

    Chaffee (head) won't play versus the Rangers on Thursday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

    The Lightning will go with seven defensemen to cover Chaffee's absence. It's unclear if he'll be ready for Game 1 versus the Panthers on Tuesday.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Leaves Tuesday's game

    Chaffee sustained an injury on a hit to the head in Tuesday's game versus the Panthers, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Chaffee was hurt on a hit by Jesse Puljujarvi in the third period. Head coach Jon Cooper didn't have an update on Chaffee's status but thought the hit is worthy of a suspension. The Lightning have piled up injuries at the wrong time -- Chaffee was playing because Luke Glendening (upper body) and Oliver Bjorkstrand (lower body) were already unavailable. Chaffee should be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Draws assist Sunday

    Chaffee logged an assist in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.

    Chaffee is getting another chance in the lineup as the Lightning manage the absences of Oliver Bjorkstrand (lower body) and Luke Glendening (upper body). Darren Raddysh (undisclosed) was also injured Sunday, so the Lightning may not be able to roll out seven defensemen for a while, further helping Chaffee's chances of staying in the lineup. Chaffee ended a seven-game point drought Sunday, a span that also included 11 healthy scratches. He's now at 12 goals, six assists, 67 shots on net, 132 hits and a minus-3 rating across 65 appearances in a bottom-six role.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Filling part-time role

    Chaffee has played in just eight of the Lightning's 19 games since the start of March after sitting out Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

    The Lightning's deadline deal to bring in Oliver Bjorkstrand and Yanni Gourde has made playing time for bottom-six minutes more competitive. It also doesn't help Chaffee's cause that the Lightning are leaning toward dressing seven defensemen regularly, as he has often been out of the lineup to let Darren Raddysh stay in. Chaffee has done well at times with 17 points, 64 shots on net and 124 hits across 62 appearances, but he's earned just six of those points in his last 32 outings. Unless the Lightning rotate players out for rest ahead of the playoffs, Chaffee is likely to stay a healthy scratch.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Quick strike in win

    Chaffee scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Chaffee tipped home an Emil Lilleberg shot attempt for the opening goal just 30 seconds into the contest. This was Chaffee's second goal in the last three games, giving him as many points in March as he logged over eight outings in February. The 27-year-old has 12 tallies (four on the power play), 17 points, 59 shots on net, 112 hits and a minus-2 rating through 57 appearances this season. He's been a regular in the Lightning's lineup, though mainly as a bottom-six forward.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Another power-play snipe

    Chaffee scored a goal Saturday in a 3-1 win over Washington.

    He stuffed in a rebound from the bottom of the left circle on the power play. Chaffee has just 11 goals and five assists in 55 games this season, but four of his tallies have come on the power play. His fantasy value is limited, but his coach's confidence in his abilities has increased. Chaffee's ice time has jumped to 13:53 or more in three of the four games since the break.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Scores late in blowout win

    Chaffee scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

    Chaffee has three goals over his last 10 outings. The 27-year-old scored in the final minute of this contest, burying a rebound after Anton Forsberg was back in the net following the Lightning's empty-netter. Chaffee is up to 10 goals, 14 points, 47 shots on net, 99 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 49 appearances. He continues to play regularly but often fills a bottom-six role, so he probably won't be an option for most fantasy managers.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Deposits power-play tally

    Chaffee scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    This was Chaffee's second goal over the last four games, and his first power-play point since Dec. 23. The 26-year-old has gotten a look on the top power-play unit recently, though that may not be a long-term role for him. He's also seeing fourth-line minutes at even strength. Overall, Chaffee has nine goals, four assists, 42 shots on net, 81 hits and 19 PIM over 43 appearances.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Tallies in Saturday's victory

    Chaffee scored a goal on his only shot and added four PIM, four hits, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

    Chaffee was all over the scoresheet Saturday, but this was his first point through 10 contests in January. The 26-year-old gave the Lightning a 4-0 lead early in the middle frame. While Chaffee has chipped in eight goals this season, he has only four assists, and his last helper came Nov. 23 in a loss to Dallas. The Michigan native is currently occupying a third-line role in addition to a spot on the No. 2 power-play unit.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Nets power-play goal

    Chaffee scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

    Chaffee has scored twice over the last four contests, and both goals have come on the power play. He's starting to take hold with the second unit this season after never previously getting much of a look with the man advantage. Chaffee is already enjoying a career year with seven goals, 11 points, 29 shots on net, 35 hits and a plus-5 rating through 28 appearances, mainly in a third-line role.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: First-ever power-play point

    Chaffee scored a power-play goal Tuesday in a 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

    It stood as the winner. It was Chaffee's first point across his past six appearances and his first power-play point of his NHL career. The bottom-six forward has 10 points in 25 games this season while averaging 13:11. Chaffee had a great night, but that doesn't make him fantasy worthy.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Good to go

    Chaffee (undisclosed) will play in Sunday's game versus the Canucks, according to Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

    Chaffee will return to a middle-six role after missing the last four games. He has accounted for five goals, nine points, 19 shots on net and 25 hits over 20 appearances this campaign. Nick Perbix will come out of the lineup due to Chaffee's return, as the Lightning will dress 12 forwards and six defensemen in Sunday's contest.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Won't play Thursday

    Chaffee (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against San Jose, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

    Chaffee continues to deal with an undisclosed injury and will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game. However, he appears to be trending in the right direction, as head coach Jon Cooper said Thursday that he hopes Chaffee will be available during the Lightning's upcoming four-game road trip, which begins Sunday in Vancouver.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Remains out Saturday

    Chaffee (undisclosed) is slated to miss Saturday's tilt against Toronto, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

    Chaffee was also absent for the Lightning's previous two games. He has five goals and nine points in 20 appearances in 2024-25. Chaffee will probably serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's healthy.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Unavailable Friday

    Chaffee (undisclosed) participated in Friday's pregame warmups, but he won't play against the Predators, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

    Chaffee has five goals and nine points in 20 appearances in 2024-25. This will be his second straight game out of the Lightning's lineup. Tampa Bay will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen, including blueliner Darren Raddysh, who might have been a healthy scratch if Chaffee was ready to return.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Unavailable Wednesday

    Chaffee (undisclosed) will miss Wednesday's game against Washington, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

    Chaffee wasn't on the ice for Tuesday's practice due to the injury. He has five goals and nine points over 20 appearances in 2024-25. Cam Atkinson, who has spent the past two games as a healthy scratch, is expected to draw into the lineup versus the Capitals.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Deemed day-to-day

    Chaffee (undisclosed) didn't practice Tuesday and is day-to-day, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

    Chaffee left Monday's 8-2 win over Colorado in the second period and didn't return. He has earned five goals, nine points, 19 shots on net and 25 hits over 20 appearances this season. If Chaffee can't play Wednesday against Washington, Cam Atkinson will probably suit up after being a healthy scratch for the last two games.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Two points for hard-working winger

    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.

  • Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Tallies in Sunday's loss

    Chaffee found the back of the net in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Jets.

    Chaffee scored his fourth goal of the season in the second period of Sunday's defeat. The Michigan native added three shots, one takeaway and a minus-1 rating in 16:17 of ice time. Chaffee is filling a bottom-six role, and he's offered solid depth production with four goals and two assists over 12 appearances.
