Compher scored twice in Monday's 5-4 overtime win against Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
The pair of goals brings Compher to a career-best total of 19 goals through 76 games. At 29 years old, fantasy managers know the kind of depth scoring Compher can provide. The numbers aren't gaudy, but his scoring pace hasn't dropped either, making him a consistent forward in a middle-six role.

Compher recorded an assist in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Compher's secondary assist in the third period was rather clutch, as it helped spark a mini rally and net the Wings a point with the game going into overtime. While Compher's 17 goals are nothing to write home about, he's been worth a roster spot in plenty of fantasy leagues thanks to his deft passing skills which have led to 27 helpers through 74 games. Having inked a five-year, $25.5 million contract with the Wings last summer -- which includes a modified no-trade clause throughout the whole term -- it's clear that this team is committed to bringing out the best in Compher as a top-six contributor.

Compher recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Compher, who now has 22 assists and 38 total points through 62 games, set up a go-ahead goal to Patrick Kane in the second period by diving toward the puck and narrowly missing defenders with his pass. The Red Wings desperately need Compher to play at a high level on the top line, as captain Dylan Larkin (lower body) is without a definitive timeline for his return.

Compher scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM and blocked three shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Compher tied the game at 2-2 with his tally early in the third period. He got a look on the top line Saturday, filling in for Dylan Larkin (lower body), who is expected to be sidelined for another week or more. The goal snapped Compher's four-game point drought and gives him 16 tallies, 37 points, 81 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 59 appearances. He's unlikely to challenge his career high of 52 points from last season, but he could push for his first 20-goal campaign over the remainder of 2023-24.

Compher supplied a shorthanded goal, an assist and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Winners of six consecutive contests, Detroit is clicking on all cylinders, with Compher doing his part by recording his first multi-point game in three months against Washington. The 28-year-old is up to 15 goals, 21 assists and a plus-6 rating to remain relevant in deep leagues, though it's going to be tough for Compher to sustain a gaudy (20.5) shooting percentage.

Compher found the back of the net in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
The Wings created a turnover in the offensive zone and it resulted in Compher's 13th goal of the season. He's been on a tear lately, with four goals and four assists over the last 10 games. With 32 points -- including seven power-play points -- through 49 contests, Compher has been a solid complementary contributor for fantasy managers, but it may be tough for him to sustain a 20.0 shooting percentage.

Compher scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Compher snapped a five-game goal drought with the tally. He had three assists in that span to keep his offense on the right track. The 28-year-old's goal Thursday was the 100th of his career, a milestone he reached in his 471st game. He's up to 31 points, 64 shots on net, 28 PIM, 31 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 48 appearances in 2023-24 as the Red Wings' second-line center.

Compher logged an assist in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
With two goals and four helpers over his last eight games, Compher continues to make solid contributions from a second-line role. He's at 30 points, 59 shots on net, 28 PIM, 25 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 47 outings this season. The 28-year-old is locked in to a top-six role with power-play time, so he should be useful as at least a depth forward in most fantasy formats.
