Compher recorded 11 goals and 20 assists in 67 games prior to the league suspension in mid-March.
EDGE Analysis
The Illinois native's 31 points are just one shy of his career-high 32 set last season, so he'd likely reach a new best if play resumes. That said, Compher actually scored five more goals (16) in one less game (66) in 2018-19, so he doesn't appear to have taken any major steps forward in his age-24 season.

Compher scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Compher got a piece of Cale Makar's shot in overtime, beating Rangers goalie Alexandar Georgiev for the decisive tally. During Wednesday's game, Compher skated a team-high 25:38 in a top-line role. He saw such significant usage because Nathan MacKinnon and Nazem Kadri are both out with lower-body injuries. Through 67 games this year, Compher has 11 goals, 31 points and 106 shots. He could be worth a look in DFS as long as he's needed in a big role.

Compher posted two assists -- one on the power play -- in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old center snapped a five-game point drought with the two-assist performance. Compher is up to 30 points in 65 contests this year. He's been used in a second-line role with Nazem Kadri (lower body) out of action, but it'll be tough for Compher to earn relevance outside of deep formats.

Compher scored the game-winning goal and added an assist with three shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Compher buried a Joonas Donskoi centering pass with 8:07 left in regulation to break a 2-2 deadlock. He also set up Gabriel Landeskog's power-play goal that opened the scoring in the first period. Compher, who hadn't had a multi-point game since Jan. 7, has two goals and an assist over his past three games. The 24-year-old has 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) in 58 games and is a career-high plus-12.

Compher scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 1-0 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm turned over the puck in the neutral zone, and Martin Kaut fed Compher for the only tally in the game. The goal snapped a five-game point drought for Compher, who is up to 26 points, 89 shots and a plus-11 rating in 57 outings this year. He's likely to continue in a middle-six role, with enough depth scoring to interest fantasy owners in deeper formats.

Compher has eight goals and 25 points with a plus-11 rating in 53 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
While the 24-year-old has a career best in the plus/minus and could reach a new career high in points, he's not shooting as often, which is hurting his value. He's averaging just 2.6 shot attempts and 1.5 shots on net per game this season. Each of the last two seasons, he's posted at least 2.9 shot attempts and 1.7 shots on goal per contest. Compher is healthy, so he could get close to his goal production from last season when he played just 66 games, but from a per-game perspective, Compher is experiencing a down season.

Compher provided an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old's helper was his 25th points of the season (eight tallies, 17 assists). Compher has added 79 shots, 43 blocks and a plus-11 rating in a bottom-six role, but he could see a boost in ice time if Nazem Kadri (lower body) ends up missing time after picking up an injury Sunday.

Compher recorded a shot on net, one hit and two blocks in a 4-0 victory over the Sharks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Owners are hoping Compher does a bit more scoring during the second half, but that's unlikely to happen if he doesn't get more pucks to the net. Although he was doing better earlier in the month, Compher only has three shots on goal in the last three games and has seven goals and 23 points with a plus-11 rating this season.

Compher lit the lamp twice in a 5-3 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite scoring twice, Compher was a minus-1. This was his first multi-goal game of the campaign and moved him up to 21 points for the year, in 41 games. The 24-year-old has struggled to put the puck in the net this season, evidenced by his sub-10 shooting percentage, but Compher's latest performance is undeniably encouraging.

Compher netted a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Compher's tally gave the Avalanche a 6-2 lead in the third period. It was just the fifth goal of the season for the 24-year-old, who now has 21 points and 57 shots on goal through 38 games. He has produced four points in his last five games, perhaps as a sign of a potential boost in offense in the near future.
