The winger has now impacted the box score in three of the last six, including 22 hits in that span. Even if the 29-year-old is unable to pick up a tally or helper, he's good for the hits -- 172 on the year is nothing to scoff at.

EDGE Analysis

The tally came on is only shot of the game in 21:12 of ice time. The 29 year old is up to 34 points for the season and is trying to break out of an offensive slump in which he has just three points in the last 10 games.

While he didn't mark the scoresheet, Abdelkader was a force on the defensive end against the Blackhawks on Wednesday, racking up five hits to go along with two blocked shots in a 5-2 loss.

EDGE Analysis

He's currently mired in an offensive slump with one goal for his only point in the last five games, but Abdelkader is a phyiscal force and tries to hit everything in sight. In fact, he leads all Red Wings with 2.48 hits per game, and no other skater on the team comes closer to that figure.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

A white-hot start to the year may have had owners overvaluing Abdelkader, who's good for a multi-point outburst here and there, but has been an inconsistent producer nonetheless. The man-advantage points were his first since Dec. 10, and the effort of two-plus points his first since Dec. 1.

Abdelkader recorded a second-period goal to help the Red Wings past the Islanders 4-2 on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Abdelkader is on pace for another 20-goal season after surprising everyone with 23 last year. He won't be as productive as linemates Dylan Larkin and Henrik Zetterberg, but will still put up a decent amount of points.

Abdelkader tallied an assist in Friday's 3-0 win against Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Abdelkader is having a fairly unproductive month of January, with only two points in nine games. The big winger took a big step forward in point production last season with 44, and seems to be about on track for the same amount this season. He will never be a scoring dynamo, but he's good to average about a point every other game.
