Sundqvist recorded two assists in Friday's 3-0 win over the Canadiens to open the Red Wings' season.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit's third line consists of Sundqvist, his fellow countryman Elmer Soderblom, and Michael Rasmussen, whom the Wings took with the ninth overall pick of the 2017 draft. All three are imposing skaters, with Sundqvist actually being the shortest at 6-foot-3. This line could cause headaches for certain teams to defend against, though Sundqvist has had trouble staying healthy in the past, a factor that has damped his appeal in most fantasy settings.

Sundqvist (undisclosed) told reporters he feels ready to suit up against the Canadiens on Friday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist was limited to just 59 games between the Blues and Red Wings last season but still managed to reach the 20-point mark for the third time in the previous four years. If he can stay healthy, Sundqvist could be in line to challenge for new personal bests, especially if he can push Jakub Vrana for a spot on the second line.

Sundqvist posted a goal and an assist en route to Sunday's 3-0 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist was traded from St Louis at this year's deadline, and he's done a decent job settling in with Detroit based on four goals and three assists through 16 games since the swap. The middle-six forward should continue being an X-factor with key players like Dylan Larkin (abdomen), Filip Zadina (appendicitis), and Robby Fabbri (lower body) all shutting down early due to their respective injuries.

Sundqvist (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sundqvist has been sidelined for the team's last two contests due to his undisclosed injury but appears close to getting back onto the ice. Before getting hurt, the winger was mired in a nine-game goal drought during which he managed just one assist and 10 shots. Unless he can find an offensive spark, the Swede is set to miss the 20-point threshold for the third consecutive season.
