Petry registered a goal, two hits and three blocked shots in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Petry fired the puck from the right circle and managed to avoid all the traffic in front of his heavy shot for a top-shelf tally. The defensive effort also was on point, as Petry seemed to play with confidence and grit while facing his employer from last year. Petry had 31 points through 61 games with the Penguins in 2022-23. He's at a mere three goals and 20 assists through 70 games in his debut campaign for the Wings, albeit with 127 blocked shots and 138 hits for the more predictable part of his player profile.

Petry recorded an assist and blocked a shot in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
After being questionable for the game due to an illness, Petry remained in his regular spot on the second pairing with partner Simon Edvinsson. Petry finished with one shot, three hits, one blocked shot and an even rating in 19:56 of ice time. This was only the second point for Petry in March. While he still plays top-four minutes for the Red Wings, the 36-year-old cannot be relied upon for producing points at this stage of his career.

Petry (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Capitals, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
EDGE Analysis
Petry didn't participate in Monday's practice and could end up being a game-time decision versus Washington. He has produced two goals, 19 points, 118 blocked shots and 118 hits across 62 outings this season. If Jake Walman (lower body) isn't ready to return Tuesday, Justin Holl could take Petry's spot in the lineup.

Petry recorded an assist in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
This was the first point in eight games for Petry, who has struggled with a minus-9 rating over that span. He's been physical with 18 hits and 23 blocked shots amid the slump, but the Wings need more out of pretty much everyone, as they are 2-10-0 over their last 12 games. For the season, Petry has two goals, 17 assists, 112 hits and 114 blocked shots in 59 games, which aren't numbers that jump off the page.

Petry earned a secondary assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Petry fired the puck through heavy traffic, and a fortuitous deflection off teammate J.T. Compher culminated in a Lucas Raymond tally at the doorstep. Not every helper will be pretty, but it all looks the same in the box score, as Petry is up to 14 assists and 16 total points through 46 games. The veteran defenseman continues to work on the second defensive pair, albeit while lacking opportunities on the power play.

Petry delivered an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Petry provided a no-frills pass in the defensive zone, spurring forwards David Perron and Lucas Raymond, with the latter deking goalie Casey DeSmith at the doorstep to open the scoring. At 36 years old, Petry is averaging a career-low 18:39 of ice time in his debut season with the Red Wings. He's posted two goals, 13 assists, 56 hits and 77 blocked shots through 42 games, which probably isn't enough to put him on the fantasy radar outside of deep leagues.

Petry registered two assists to complement a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
This was one of Petry's best performances since joining the Red Wings ahead of this season. The 36-year-old veteran is averaging a career low in ice time (18:26), and it's an especially stark contrast to the 22:21 of rink run the defenseman saw with the Penguins last year. Petry has two goals, 11 assists and a plus-4 rating through 33 games; he's occasionally been thrust into power-play action but is still looking for his first man-advantage point donning the Winged Wheel.

Petry scored a goal on three shots, logged three hits and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Petry had gone three games without a point while missing two contests -- one as a scratch and the other due to injury -- in that span. The 36-year-old played Thursday in a seven-defensemen lineup with Andrew Copp (lower body) out. Petry, Olli Maatta and Justin Holl are the blueliners the Red Wings have most frequently cycled out of the lineup. Petry has two goals, nine assists, 37 shots on net, 40 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating and offers the most fantasy upside of the three part-timers.

Petry (upper body) should return to the lineup Friday versus Nashville, per Max Bultman of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Petry has been a disappointment offensively this season as he has only one goal and nine assists in 27 games. Petry was not available Wednesday in Minnesota after he was injured versus New Jersey on Saturday in the final game before the Christmas break. Look for Petry to be paired with Ben Chiarot in his return to action.
