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.

Petry (upper body) is set to miss Wednesday's game against Minnesota, according to Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.
EDGE Analysis
Petry sustained the injury during Saturday's 3-2 loss to New Jersey. He has a goal, 10 points, 34 hits and 49 blocks in 27 outings in 2023-24. With Petry out against the Wild, Justin Holl is likely to draw back into the lineup.

Petry won't return to Saturday's game against New Jersey due to an undisclosed injury.
EDGE Analysis
Petry was injured when he collided with teammate Christian Fischer, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. Both players left the contest as a result of the incident. Petry entered Saturday's action with a goal, 10 points, 34 hits and 49 blocks in 26 outings in 2023-24. If he isn't available Wednesday versus Minnesota, then Justin Holl might draw back into the lineup.

Petry delivered an assist in Friday's 7-6 shootout win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings permitted five straight goals between the second and third periods, but Petry did his part to force overtime. He dumped the puck off to Dylan Larkin with the Detroit captain scoring a seemingly impossible goal from behind the net. Petry is averaging a career-low 18:37 of ice time, and he may end up disappointing fantasy managers who recall his four consecutive seasons with at least 40 points from 2017-18 to 2020-21. He only has one goal and 10 points over 26 contests this campaign.

Petry scored a goal in Monday's 4-3 home loss against the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Petry's goal was his first of the season, and he opened the scoring at 2:29 of the second period to slice the lead to 4-1, beginning the comeback. He finished with a minus-1 rating, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a hit in 17:32 of ice time. The veteran rearguard had managed just two assists in the past 13 games, and his playing time has been dwindling. Perhaps this goal will jump-start things for the veteran.
