Chisholm was acquired by New Jersey from Washington on Thursday in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick.
ANALYSIS
Chisholm had a goal, seven points, a plus-3 rating, four PIM, 11 hits and 22 blocks in 26 appearances with the Capitals in 2025-26. The 26-year-old was a frequent healthy scratch last season, and while he's not guaranteed to secure a top-six spot with New Jersey, at least he'll get a fresh opportunity.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Chisholm supplied two goals, 10 assists, 69 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and 33 hits over 66 regular-season outings with Minnesota in 2024-25. The Wild dealt him to Washington in the offseason, and he signed a two-year contract with his new team shortly afterward. He will probably be a spare defender for the Capitals going into the 2025-26 campaign, which doesn’t bode well for his already limited fantasy value. Still, Chisholm could be worthy of a waiver-wire pickup during the year if injuries occur.
The Jets never gave Chisholm much of a chance to earn a spot, and eventually, they waived him in January of 2024. The Wild claimed him and were much more accommodating, giving him 29 appearances last season. Chisholm picked up eight points in those games and signed a one-year contract to remain in Minnesota for 2024-25. Chisholm doesn't have a ton of offensive upside, but he's capable of producing 20-25 points if he can stay in the lineup regularly. The 24-year-old will be competing primarily with Jon Merrill for a spot on the third pairing, and Chisholm could also be an option on Minnesota's second power-play unit.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Suffers apparent leg injury
DWashington Capitals
October 6, 2025
Chisholm was reportedly cut by a skate blade at practice Monday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
ANALYSIS
Chisholm immediately left the ice with a trainer after suffering an apparent cut to his leg. At this point, the team hasn't offered any sort of update, but the blueliner should probably be considered questionable, at best, ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Bruins. With Matt Roy and Dylan McIlrath dealing with upper-body and lower-body injuries, respectively, Chisholm's potential absence Wednesday would likely see Vincent Iorio pressed into service versus Boston.
