Compher notched two assists in Monday's 6-5 shootout win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Compher helped out on both of Andrew Copp's goals in the contest. With five assists over his last six games, Compher's offense is getting back on track, but he still hasn't scored since Oct. 27. The 29-year-old forward is at 12 points, 30 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 27 appearances. He sees power-play time, but he has low upside in most categories.

Compher recorded a power-play assist in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Compher remains stuck in a now 17-game goal drought, during which he's racked up five helpers. The 29-year-old remains on the second line with steady ice time, but he has multiple shots on net in just one of those games during the slump. For the season, he's at 10 points (four on the power play), 28 shots, 19 blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-1 rating across 25 appearances.

Compher notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Compher went pointless in three outings before earning his second multi-point effort of 2024-25 in Friday's defeat. He has four assists in his last 14 appearances, making him an undesirable fantasy option. Still, he is a top-six forward and gets playing time on the second power-play unit, giving him some offensive upside for the future.

Compher scored his third goal of the season in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis

The right-shot forward has picked up at least a point in alternating games to start the season. Compher is centering the second line and seeing time on the second power play. The Illinois native has chipped in five points (three goals), 16 shots, eight blocks, three takeaways, two PIM and a plus-2 rating through eight outings.

Compher (illness) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Devils, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Compher will be forced to miss at least one game due to the illness. The 29-year-old has supplied four points and 13 shots on net over six contests this season. With no extra forwards available to take his place, Olli Maatta will enter a seven-defensemen lineup during Compher's absence.

Compher notched an assist in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Compher is up to four points through six games while seeing time on the second line and second power-play unit. The 29-year-old center has added 13 shots on net, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. He's unlikely to stand out in any one area, but he'll contribute a little bit across the board, so he's a fine depth forward in fantasy.

Compher notched a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Compher closed out the scoring late in the third period with a tip-in past Jonathan Quick, though the goal didn't affect the outcome of the contest. Compher also set up Moritz Seider's second-period goal, meaning the center was directly involved in both of his team's goals in a game where the Red Wings looked outmatched. This was Compher's first multi-point game of the season and is up to three points over his last three outings.

Compher scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
After a scoreless first period, Compher got his stick on a Moritz Seider shot from the blue line early in the second and tipped it past Juuse Saros, giving Cam Talbot all the support he would need. Compher scored a career-high 19 goals last season, and the 29-year-old's top-six role and spot on Detroit's top power-play unit could allow him to reach the 20-goal plateau for the first time in 2024-25.
