Compher (upper body) scored a goal and added two hits in Friday's 7-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Compher missed 11 games, and he logged 16:06 of ice time in his return. The 26-year-old started in a third-line role, but Gabriel Landeskog (lower body) exited early, forcing Compher into a larger role. He's picked up six goals, four assists, 25 shots on net and a plus-1 rating in 13 contests, so he could be a candidate to move into the top six if Landeskog or Nazem Kadri (lower body) aren't ready to return Sunday versus the Panthers.
