DeKeyser was waived by the Red Wings on Sunday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyser has been a fixture on Detroit's blue line this season, recording six points across 34 games. If he clears waivers, which is expected because he carries a $5 million cap hit, the Red Wings can place him on the taxi squad and receive some salary-cap relief.

DeKeyser scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

The first-period tally was initially credited to Adam Erne, but DeKeyser's shot wasn't tipped on its way into the net behind Juuse Saros. The 31-year-old DeKeyser doesn't generate much offense -- he has six points and 26 shots on net in 32 appearances. The Detroit native has added 49 blocked shots, 36 hits and 12 PIM this season.

DeKeyser pitched in an assist Sunday in a 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyer registered back-to-back assists to the detriment of Columbus on the heels of an 11-game point drought. The veteran defenseman is averaging 17:11 of ice time, which is a career low as he works to strengthen his leg following back surgery performed in Dec. of 2019.

DeKeyser managed an assist to complement a plus-3 rating Thursday in a 5-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

This was the first point for DeKeyser since the defenseman returned from a leg injury last Saturday against the Panthers. He didn't play all that much (17:07) as he works to build up the strength in his leg following back surgery, but DeKeyser's performance Thursday was encouraging, as he contributed on both ends of the ice and came out unscathed.

DeKeyser was promoted to the active roster ahead of Thursday's game versus the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyser is now eligible to play in Thursday's game. The 30-year-old suited up in the last two games, logging 15:27 per contest and recording five blocked shots and three hits.

DeKeyser was assigned to Detroit's taxi squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This is likely just a paper move to save a bit of cap space, so DeKeyser will probably be brought back to the main roster before Thursday's game against the Predators.

DeKeyser was promoted from the taxi squad to the active roster ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyser returned from a nine-game absence for Saturday's win over the Panthers. He was eased back into the lineup with just 12:33 of ice time, recording two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating.

The Red Wings demoted DeKeyser to the taxi squad Sunday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyser made his return to the ice for the first time in eight games in Saturday's win over the Panthers, recording two hits, two blocks and a plus-1 rating across 12:33 of ice time. It appears the team will continue to shift the 30-year-old between the active roster and taxi squad in a cap-saving measure this season. Expect DeKeyser to suit back up in Tuesday's game against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyser (leg) was promoted from the taxi squad Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

DeKeyser has missed the last nine games because head coach Jeff Blashill wanted him to improve his leg strength after undergoing back surgery in Dec. of 2019. However, his promotion to the active roster makes him eligible for Saturday's game versus the Panthers. The 30-year-old posted a goal and eight shots on net through the first 10 contests.
