Compher recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Compher, who now has 22 assists and 38 total points through 62 games, set up a go-ahead goal to Patrick Kane in the second period by diving toward the puck and narrowly missing defenders with his pass. The Red Wings desperately need Compher to play at a high level on the top line, as captain Dylan Larkin (lower body) is without a definitive timeline for his return.

Compher scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM and blocked three shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Compher tied the game at 2-2 with his tally early in the third period. He got a look on the top line Saturday, filling in for Dylan Larkin (lower body), who is expected to be sidelined for another week or more. The goal snapped Compher's four-game point drought and gives him 16 tallies, 37 points, 81 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 59 appearances. He's unlikely to challenge his career high of 52 points from last season, but he could push for his first 20-goal campaign over the remainder of 2023-24.

Compher supplied a shorthanded goal, an assist and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Winners of six consecutive contests, Detroit is clicking on all cylinders, with Compher doing his part by recording his first multi-point game in three months against Washington. The 28-year-old is up to 15 goals, 21 assists and a plus-6 rating to remain relevant in deep leagues, though it's going to be tough for Compher to sustain a gaudy (20.5) shooting percentage.

Compher found the back of the net in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
The Wings created a turnover in the offensive zone and it resulted in Compher's 13th goal of the season. He's been on a tear lately, with four goals and four assists over the last 10 games. With 32 points -- including seven power-play points -- through 49 contests, Compher has been a solid complementary contributor for fantasy managers, but it may be tough for him to sustain a 20.0 shooting percentage.

Compher scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Compher snapped a five-game goal drought with the tally. He had three assists in that span to keep his offense on the right track. The 28-year-old's goal Thursday was the 100th of his career, a milestone he reached in his 471st game. He's up to 31 points, 64 shots on net, 28 PIM, 31 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 48 appearances in 2023-24 as the Red Wings' second-line center.

Compher logged an assist in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
With two goals and four helpers over his last eight games, Compher continues to make solid contributions from a second-line role. He's at 30 points, 59 shots on net, 28 PIM, 25 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 47 outings this season. The 28-year-old is locked in to a top-six role with power-play time, so he should be useful as at least a depth forward in most fantasy formats.

Compher potted a power-play goal in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Both teams had just one power-play chance in the contest, and Compher did his part for the Wings courtesy of a snapshot in the middle frame. Compher was held without a point for six consecutive games prior to his goal against the Hurricanes, but the second-line pivot is up 10 markers and 15 assists through 40 outings, which is the exact pace that resulted in him earning a career-high 52 points with the Avalanche last season.

EDGE Analysis

He's been solid in a top-six role for much of the season, earning 24 points, 42 shots on net, 22 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 33 appearances.
