Compher (upper body) will miss additional time, and it's unclear when he will return to the lineup, Aaron Vickers of NHL.com reports Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Compher will miss his third straight game versus Calgary on Saturday. He likely won't play versus Vancouver on Sunday and could be out until Detroit returns to action after the 4 Nations Face-Off on Feb. 22 against Minnesota. Compher has six goals, 21 points, 63 shots on net and 37 blocked shots across 48 appearances this season.

Compher (upper body) is not expected to be in the lineup versus the Oilers on Thursday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Compher is on the road trip with the Red Wings, but he is set to miss a second straight game. The 29-year-old has just two points over 12 appearances in January, so his absence won't cause much of a ripple effect in fantasy. His next chance to play is Saturday in Calgary, which is the first half of a back-to-back set.

Compher (upper body) will join the Red Wings on their four-game road trip, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Compher's presence on the trip is a good indication he'll play at some point, though he hasn't been officially confirmed for the first game against Edmonton on Thursday. Prior to suffering his upper-body injury, the 29-year-old forward was stuck in a rut with a seven-game goal drought during which he managed just one helper to go with 11 shots. If Compher gets the green light Thursday, he could move into a top-six role for Patrick Kane (upper body), who has already been ruled out.

Compher (upper body) was absent from Tuesday's practice, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Compher sat out Monday's 5-2 win over the Kings, and it's unclear if he will return against Edmonton on Thursday. He has produced six goals, 21 points, 63 shots on net and 37 blocked shots through 48 appearances this season.

Compher has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings due to an undisclosed injury, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Compher hasn't missed a game since late October, but he's considered day-to-day due to his unspecified injury. However, Tyler Motte (upper body) will be able to return from his six-game absence, and he'll likely replace Compher in the lineup Monday. Compher's next opportunity to suit up will be on the road against Edmonton on Thursday.

Compher provided an assist, blocked five shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Compher had a strong defensive performance and was rewarded with a helper on Marco Kasper's tally midway through the game. The assists ended Compher's six-game point drought. The 29-year-old forward is at 21 points, 63 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 48 contests. He hasn't seen a growth in his offense like many of his teammates have under new head coach Todd McLellan, so Compher's fantasy value remains limited to deep formats.

Compher scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Compher picked up his first point in five games in January when he scored to put the Red Wings ahead 2-0 in the first period. His goal came just 11 seconds after Marco Kasper opened the scoring. Compher is up to six tallies, 20 points, 52 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 41 appearances in a middle-six role.

Compher scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

With the score tied 2-2 late in the third period, Erik Gustafsson ripped a shot from the point that rang off the post, hit Alex Nedeljkovic in the back and fell into the crease behind the netminder. Compher was able to tap the puck home before Nedeljkovic or a Pittsburgh defender could get to it. It's the veteran center's second game-winner of the season, and he takes significant momentum into the new year having racked up two goals and nine points over the last 10 games.

Compher posted an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Compher ended a three-game slump with the helper. The 29-year-old center is in a middle-six role and will likely stay there under new head coach Todd McLellan, though Compher also sees time on the second power-play unit. The forward has 17 points, 38 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 34 appearances, offering some secondary scoring with steady defensive play.

Compher scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran center got Detroit on the board late in the first period by re-directing a hard pass from Dylan Larkin. The tally ended a 21-game goal drought for Compher, but he's been productive of late and has gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games, collecting six points during that span.
