Mitchell Chaffee

28-Year-Old Right WingRW
Tampa Bay Lightning
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Chaffee was pretty close to being a full-time NHLer in 2024-25, appearing in 66 regular-season games while earning 12 goals and 18 points. The physical forward also had 133 hits, 68 shots on net and 21 PIM, but he was a frequent healthy scratch down the stretch. Chaffee is under contract for 2025-26, but his place in the Lightning's lineup will likely depend on how Tampa Bay chooses to fill out its depth spots. The team's propensity to go with seven defensemen could also affect Chaffee's playing time. He'll be a physical force when he plays and can add some depth scoring, but he probably won't be a factor in most fantasy formats. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.6 million contract with the Lightning in May of 2024.
Summoned from AHL
RWTampa Bay Lightning
April 2, 2026
Chaffee was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Chaffee spent all of last season with the Lightning, tallying 12 goals and six assists across 66 games. He has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Syracuse, scoring 24 goals and adding 31 assists over 52 contests. He has yet to pick up a point in seven NHL games this season. Chaffee will probably play against Pittsburgh on Thursday because Brandon Hagel (undisclosed) and Scott Sabourin (undisclosed) are doubtful for the contest.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Chaffee split the 2023-24 regular season between Tampa Bay and AHL Syracuse, providing seven points (four goals) in 30 contests with the Lightning and 26 points (12 goals) in 36 minor-league outings. The 26-year-old will compete for a bottom-six spot with Tampa Bay during training camp, and he might earn that role. Under ideal circumstances, Chaffee can earn 20-30 points in 2024-25, but he might not get enough work to reach that level of offensive production.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get look with big club
RWMinnesota Wild
April 8, 2022
Michael Russo of The Athletic believes Chaffee could get a look with the Wild if the team needs to rest players down the stretch.
ANALYSIS
Chaffee has racked up 20 goals and 35 points through 40 AHL appearances this year, so he's obviously a logical candidate for a call-up if the need arises during the last few weeks of the season.
