Alec Martinez Nearing Return
2 days agoAccording to Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio, Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Alec Martinez (neck) is listed as day-to-day ahead of the Winter Classic. The veteran defenseman has been on the injured reserve since December 13, but seeing him listed as day-to-day could suggest he is nearing a return. Martinez has already missed the required ten games, so he could be on the verge of a return once he is officially activated off injured reserve. Through 15 games this season, Martinez has tallied one goal and three helpers with four hits and an impressive 38 blocked shots. When he does return, Nolan Allan could leave the starting lineup. Fantasy managers in category leagues that score blocked shots should keep an eye on Martinez's return as he could be worth adding to boost your team in that statistic.
