Anton Frondell scored twice and fired nine shots in 19:15 of ice time Saturday as the Blackhawks fell 5-4 in overtime to the Bruins. One of his goals came on the power play, and he finished even in the loss.
The outburst is well above his recent averages of 0.60 points, 2.8 shots and 17:30 a night. With four games remaining this week on Saturday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, Frondell is a streaming option in formats that allow weekly pickups.

Player by player
Anton Frondell
Frondell's nine shots more than tripled his recent average of 2.8 per game, and the 19:15 of ice time topped his 17:30 nightly mark. The center has been running on Chicago's first power-play unit, averaging 3:20 with the man advantage and ranking third among all Blackhawks skaters in power-play minutes. One of Saturday's goals came on that unit.
The Blackhawks play four more times this week, starting Saturday and continuing Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Frondell's combination of top-unit power-play time and a four-game schedule makes him worth adding in shallow leagues that allow weekly streaming. Rostered managers in deeper formats should deploy him across all four starts.
What to do
• Stream Anton Frondell in leagues with weekly adds to capture his four remaining games this week.
• Start Frondell on Saturday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday if you already roster him.
• Target Frondell for his first-unit power-play role and elevated shot volume against his recent 2.8-shot average.
