Sprong collected a goal in a 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong has been held off the scoresheet just once over his last six contests, bringing him up to three markers and seven points in 10 outings this year. Those offensive numbers are impressive when measured against his average of 13:33 of ice time over his first nine games this year, though Sprong did see that jump to 17:10 during the Red Wings' latest victory. If the 26-year-old continues to be leaned on like he was Monday, then he might challenge his career highs of 21 goals and 46 points. It remains to be seen if Sprong's heavy use was just an anomaly though, so it'll be worth keeping an eye on him over the next few games.

Sprong recorded an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong has picked up a helper in each of the last two contests. The winger is up to four points through six games this season while handling a third-line role at even strength. He's added 13 shots on net, four PIM and a plus-4 rating. He's coming off a 46-point effort in 66 games for the Kraken last year, and it appears he'll be a key depth scorer in his first year with the Red Wings.

Sprong found the back of the net in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong, who also scored in the opener, patiently waited around the doorstep and cleaned up an Alex DeBrincat shot that initially caused everyone to lose sight of the puck. Detroit did a major overhaul of its roster in the offseason, including the addition of Sprong, a castoff from the nascent Kraken franchise. Sprong is the type of player who shouldn't be overlooked as a budget option in DFS formats following a career-best season, which included 21 goals and 25 assists and seemingly came out of nowhere.

Sprong tallied a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong opened the scoring midway through the first period, punching home a loose puck to give Detroit an early 1-0 lead. The 26-year-old Sprong signed a two-year deal with the Red Wings after breaking out for 21 goals and 46 points with Seattle last season. He'll open the year on the Red Wings' third line with Andrew Copp and Michael Rasmussen and Sprong should also see time with the second power-play unit.

Sprong (upper body)) signed a one-year, $2 million contract with Detroit on Saturday, Jeff Marek of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong broke out in 2022-23, scoring 21 goals and 46 points in 66 games with Seattle. However, he didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Kraken, which allowed the Red Wings to add him as an unrestricted free agent. Sprong should slot in as a middle-six forward during the 2023-24 campaign.

Sprong (upper body) wasn't given a qualifying offer by the Kraken on Friday and will become an unrestricted free agent, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong had his best season in the NHL in 2022-23, scoring 21 goals and adding 25 assists. He averaged only 11:25 of ice time in 66 games and at the age of 26, he should catch on with another NHL team next season.

Sprong (upper body) skated Saturday but won't return to the lineup for Game 6 versus Dallas, Alison Lukan of Root Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be the third straight game that Sprong will sit with the injury and coach Dave Hakstol said that he doesn't expect Sprong to be available the remainder of the series. Sprong has a goal and an assist in 10 playoff games this season, after garnering career bests with 21 goals and 25 assists in the regular season.

Sprong (upper body) will not play Thursday against Dallas, per the NHL's media site.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong has now missed two straight games. He's considered day-to-day but the team hasn't put a solid timeline on his return. Sprong's next chance to suit up will be Saturday for Game 6.

Sprong (upper body) will not be available against Dallas on Tuesday and remains day-to-day, Alison Lukan of Root Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong is currently mired in a six-game pointless streak during which he put 13 shots on net while averaging just 8:48 of ice time. Even once cleared to return, Sprong is unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value given his limited minutes.

Head coach Dave Hakstol did not have an update on Sprong (undisclosed) after Sunday's win over Dallas, Alison Lukan of Root Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sprong left in the second period after logging 6:36 of ice time and did not return to the game. The 26-year-old has two points in 10 games this postseason, both coming during Game 4 in the first round against Colorado. An update on his status should be available before Game 4 against the Stars on Tuesday.
