Vlasic contributed two assists in a 4-3 loss to Buffalo on Saturday.
Analysis:This is shaping up to be a long season for Vlasic and so many of the Blackhawks' young players. The team was outscored 11-2 in its first two games this season, and while Saturday was better, Chicago only mustered 15 shots. Vlasic's best season came in 2024-25 when he posted 30 points, including 12 on the power play, in 82 games. He'll be counted on for strong own-zone play this campaign, so his fantasy value will be limited to blocks and shots.
