Leonard scored three goals in AHL Grand Rapids' 3-0 win over Milwaukee on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard has five goals and an assist over his last four games. The 27-year-old has received a couple of looks in the NHL this season, in part thanks to a dominance at the minor-league level. He has 25 goals and 13 helpers over 28 outings with the Griffins. He has also netted eight game-winning tallies in the AHL.

Leonard scored an even-strength goal on two shots and went minus-1 in 14:00 of ice time Sunday in a 3-2 overtime win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard has scored in back-to-back contests, both against the Capitals, and he's riding a three-game point streak (two goals, one assist). The 27-year-old is making his case to stay with the big club for the foreseeable future -- he was recalled from the minors last Sunday and has played in four straight games after not playing in the NHL last year.

Leonard scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard has two points over three games with the Red Wings so far. The 27-year-old was scoring at an impressive rate in the AHL prior to his call-up, so keeping this momentum going will be key to his ability to stay with the big club. He's on the second line on paper, but his ice time has been closer to that of a bottom-six forward, though he is seeing power-play usage.

Leonard logged a power-play assist in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard has been on the second line in the last two games, taking over for Patrick Kane (undisclosed). Wednesday saw Leonard also work on the second power-play unit, though he saw just 12:08 of ice time in total. The 27-year-old forward was on fire in the AHL with 29 points in 20 games prior to his call-up, and he could stick in the NHL if he can contribute regularly on offense for the Red Wings.

Leonard was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard has had a stellar start to the season in the minors, as he leads the AHL with 19 goals to go with 10 assists, two PIM and a plus-14 rating. The 27-year-old hasn't appeared in a game since the 2023-24 season, but he'll provide additional depth for the Red Wings after Mason Appleton (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Leonard was named the AHL Player of the Month for November on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard had nine goals and seven assists over 10 games for AHL Grand Rapids in November. He's been a massive performer this season with 24 points in 15 games to co-lead the AHL through the end of November. That's an effort that has helped the Griffins to a 16-1-0-1 record through 18 contests overall, the best record in the league. Leonard should be in consideration for a call-up if the Red Wings need a forward.

Leonard scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Grand Rapids' 10-1 win over Texas on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard's season-opening point streak ended Friday, but he bounced back with his sixth multi-point effort in 12 games. He's up to 12 goals, 20 points, 38 shots on net and a plus-10 rating this season. It'll be up to the Red Wings if they want to give him a call-up -- he can't prove himself much more than he already has.
