Compher scored two goals and took four shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Compher scored twice in the same game for the first time this season, and now the 30-year-old has eight goals in the campaign. As good as he was Saturday, however, Compher isn't known for being much of a fantasy contributor. He has 19 points in 53 games this season, and there's a chance he might not reach the 30-point plateau -- something that hasn't happened since 2020-21.

Compher scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Compher has two goals and two assists over his last six outings. He's been a fine depth scorer in a middle-six role this season, picking up 17 points in 49 outings. He's added 55 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 17 hits, 17 PIM and a minus-3 rating. Compher has seen sparse usage on the power play, so it's unlikely his recent success is sustainable in the long run.

Compher produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Both points came in the second period, as Compher helped set up what proved to be the game-winner by Axel Sandin-Pellikka before potting a goal himself. Compher snapped a 19-game drought with the tally, but he's picked up the pace on offense since Christmas, chipping in five points in the last seven games -- a boost that's come while he's had Lucas Raymond and James van Riemsdyk as his wingers.

Compher logged an assist in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Compher set up a Michael Rasmussen tally in the first period. The helper ended an eight-game slump for Compher, who has seen steady bottom-six minutes in December. He's at 12 points, 44 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 15 PIM, 14 hits and a minus-8 rating over 39 appearances this season. His offense is trending toward a significant drop for the third year in a row, so Compher doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

Compher had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 loss to the Lightning on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Compher opened the scoring with a shot from the corner at 11:29 of the first period. He has three points, including two assists, in his last two games and nine points (four goals, five assists) in 25 games overall. Compher put up 52 points in 2022-23 and 48 in 2023-24, but he dropped to 32 last season. He's currently deployed as the Wings' fourth-line pivot, so that will continue to suppress any fantasy value he might have.

Compher (illness) is expected to play versus the Predators on Wednesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Compher was a game-time decision, but it looks like he'll be able to suit up. He should be expected to fill a fourth-line role. Jonatan Berggren is exiting the lineup to make way for Compher.

Compher (illness) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's tilt against Nashville, per Max Bultman of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Compher has three goals and six points in 23 appearances in 2025-26. Although Compher might exit the lineup, there's a chance Elmer Soderblom (undisclosed) will be ready to return for the matchup against the Predators.

Compher scored a goal on five shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Compher snapped a five-game run without a point by burying a wrister past Jonathan Quick at the 11:06 mark of the first frame. Compher has three goals and six points this season. That lack of production, coupled with his bottom-six role in the lineup, limits his fantasy upside considerably in most formats.

Compher notched a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Compher had no points in his opening four appearances this season, but he's been turning things around lately. The 30-year-old notched his first multi-point game of the campaign in this comeback win after scoring Detroit's third goal and assisting on the fifth one, but he also extended his point streak to three games. He has five points (two goals, three helpers) over his previous five contests.

Compher scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was Compher's first of the season, and it opened the scoring at 3:00 of the second period. The 30-year-old center has added an assist, six shots on net, seven blocked shots, three hits and a minus-1 rating through seven appearances. He's seeing ice time in all situations, but he'll need to reverse a three-year trend of declining offense to carve out any noticeable fantasy value, as he adds little in the way of non-scoring production from a bottom-six role.
