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.
Three points in AHL win
RWTampa Bay Lightning  Minors
January 24, 2026
Chaffee scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Syracuse's 6-3 win over Utica on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Chaffee's big game got him to a point-per-game pace for the Crunch this season. He's at 10 goals, 19 helpers, 70 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 29 appearances. The 27-year-old forward could have a chance at a call-up if the injury to Gage Goncalves (undisclosed) is a long-term concern.

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  Minors
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.
