Blackhawks' Nick Schmaltz: Collects two more helpers against Lightning
Schmaltz recorded two assists during Monday's overtime loss to Tampa Bay.
Analysis:
Schmaltz is up to six helpers through his past five outings, and he has three goals, 19 points and a plus-12 rating through his last 20 games. It's been an impressive run for the rookie, and there's no reason to expect the offense to dry up with Schmaltz locked into a scoring role. He's worth a roster spot in the majority of seasonal leagues, but you'll want to remember that he's a low-volume shooter who isn't going to pad the goals column.
