Compher potted a power-play goal in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Both teams had just one power-play chance in the contest, and Compher did his part for the Wings courtesy of a snapshot in the middle frame. Compher was held without a point for six consecutive games prior to his goal against the Hurricanes, but the second-line pivot is up 10 markers and 15 assists through 40 outings, which is the exact pace that resulted in him earning a career-high 52 points with the Avalanche last season.

Compher scored a goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Compher has two goals and two assists during his four-game point streak. The 28-year-old center tallied in the second period Tuesday to create a 2-1 lead for the Red Wings. He's been solid in a top-six role for much of the season, earning 24 points, 42 shots on net, 22 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 33 appearances.

Compher delivered a power-play assist but skated to a minus-4 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit's second line looked rather anemic in this one, but Compher at least salvaged his fantasy output with a power-play helper that culminated in another tally for team scoring leader Alex DeBrincat. As a player heavily utilized on both the man advantage and penalty kill, Compher should continue seeing ample chances to produce. He's up to seven goals and 14 assists through 30 games.

Compher potted a goal in Friday's 7-6 shootout win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Compher earned a tip-in goal after linemate Joe Veleno was repeatedly blocked at the doorstep. Perhaps fantasy managers were hoping for more out of Compher due to the high score, but the silver lining is that he's averaging 20:43 of ice time since being removed from injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury.

Compher, who has been on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury, is expected to play Saturday versus Philadelphia, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Compher missed five straight games because of the injury. He has six goals and 19 points in 24 contests this season. Compher is projected to serve on the top line alongside Michael Rasmussen and Patrick Kane in his return. That might lead to Andrew Copp playing a reduced role and Christian Fischer being a healthy scratch Saturday.

Compher is now considered day-to-day with his undisclosed injury, but he won't be available for Thursday's game versus Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

It's encouraging to see that Compher, who's been sidelined since last Thursday, is now in the day-to-day category, but he'll have to wait for Saturday's matchup with the Flyers for his next potential opportunity to return to the lineup. The 28-year-old pivot has racked up six goals and 19 points through 24 contests this campaign.

Compher (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday retroactive to Dec. 5.

EDGE Analysis

Compher's retroactive designation means he could be activated following the team's back-to-back against Dallas and St. Louis on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old center was rolling offensively with 13 points in his last 13 contests, including a trio of power-play points and a shorthanded goal. With Dylan Larkin (undisclosed) also on injured reserve, Joe Veleno could be pressed into service as the No. 1 center.

Compher (soreness) won't be in the lineup versus Ottawa on Saturday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Compher practiced Friday after sitting out Thursday's game against San Jose, but he is still not healthy enough to return. He has been solid for the Red Wings this season, picking up six goals and 19 points in 24 games. The Red Wings play in Dallas on Monday and Compher could be in line to return to action.

Compher (soreness) returned to practice Friday and is considered a game-time decision Saturday versus Ottawa, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

EDGE Analysis

Compher has been everything the Red Wings could have hoped for after inking him in the offseason to a five-year contract. He has six goals and 13 assists in 24 games in 2023-24.

Compher (soreness) will not play versus San Jose on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Compher is considered day-to-day at this time. He logged 20:03 of ice time versus Buffalo on Tuesday, but he was unable to practice Thursday. Compher is having a solid year with six goals and 19 points in 24 games. He will be replaced on the power play by Daniel Sprong against the Sharks.
