Compher scored a goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Compher scored a goal for the third time over his last six appearances, and the 29-year-old veteran has five points over that stretch. Even if Compher ends the season on a strong note, there's no question this has been a down year for him. He's up to 31 points in 70 contests so far, and unless he racks up three more points over the final weeks of the regular season, this will be his worst scoring output of the last four campaigns.

Compher scored a goal and took three shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Compher scored the opening goal of the contest in the third period, but the Red Wings were unable to hold on to their lead and ended up losing in overtime. Compher is not known for his fantasy contributions as a bottom-six forward, but he's notched four points (two goals, two assists) over his last four appearances. He's recorded nine points (three goals, six helpers) in 19 outings since the 4 Nations break.

EDGE Analysis

This was Compher's first multi-point effort since Feb. 27 versus the Blue Jackets. He had been limited to a single assist over his first 11 contests in March before leading the way in Tuesday's loss. The 29-year-old forward has had a mediocre season with just eight goals, 20 helpers, 85 shots on net, 54 blocked shots, 20 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 65 outings. He has not finished below 30 points in a full-length season since 2017-18.

Compher notched an assist in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Compher ended a seven-game point drought when he helped out on an Albert Johansson tally in the second period. The 29-year-old Compher has been bumped down to the third line after Marco Kasper was moved from wing to center to play on the second line. For the season, Compher has 26 points, 78 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 61 appearances.

Compher scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

His goal came on the power play. Compher is riding a three-game, four-point scoring streak (one goal, three assists). Overall, he has just seven goals, 18 assists and a paltry 66 shots in 53 contests. Bottom line that's simply not enough for a second-line NHL pivot. There are better options than Compher on the wire.

Compher logged an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Compher has a helper in each of the last two games after coming up empty on offense in his first two contests back from an upper-body injury earlier in the month. The 29-year-old forward will get a chance to settle in on the second line now that Andrew Copp (pectoral) is officially out for the season. Compher has had some struggles this season with 23 points, 65 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 52 appearances. If the Red Wings opt to load up for a playoff run, they may look to improve their center depth, which could lead to Compher's role getting reduced again.

Compher (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Following a five-game absence, Compher will return to the lineup against Tampa Bay on Saturday. He has accounted for six goals, 21 points, 63 shots on net and 37 blocked shots across 48 appearances this season. Based on Friday's practice, Compher will occupy a fourth-line role and see time on the second power-play combination.

Compher (upper body) looks poised to return to the lineup versus the Lightning on Saturday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to head coach Todd McLellan, he is still awaiting final medical clearance for Compher but is expecting the winger to be available Saturday. Assume he does return, the 29-year-old Compher figures to slot into a middle-six role and will undoubtedly be eager to end his seven-game goal drought during which he managed just one helper and 11 shots.

Compher (upper body) was put on injured reserve Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit activated Patrick Kane (upper body) from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Compher will miss his fourth straight game against Vancouver on Sunday, and it's unclear when he will return to the lineup. He has collected six goals, 21 points, 63 shots on net and 37 blocked shots across 48 appearances this season.
