Edvinsson recorded an assist and two PIM over 23:14 of ice time in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Edvinsson missed one game due to a lower-body injury but didn't look any worse for wear in his return. He set up Dylan Larkin's first-period tally. Edvinsson has done fairly well for a 21-year-old defenseman, earning two goals, five assists, 23 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 17 appearances. He continues to see top-four minutes at even strength, averaging 20:45 of ice time, but he's not a regular part of the power-play mix.

Edvinsson scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old blueliner snapped a shot past Alex Nedeljkovic from the slot 90 seconds into the extra frame, giving Edvinsson his first career game-winning goal. He's still working to establish himself in the NHL, but he's had a solid start to his first full season with two goals and six points in 15 games, along with 34 blocked shots, 22 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-2 rating.

Edvinsson notched an assist and blocked four shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Edvinsson has three points over seven contests this season. He's exceeded 20 minutes of ice time in four straight games and continues to hold down a top-four role, though he isn't seeing power-play time. The 21-year-old defenseman has added six shots on net, six hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating, so he'll carry a little extra value in formats that reward his defensive efforts.

Edvinsson recorded an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Edvinsson's first point through two games this season. He's added four shots on net and a minus-1 rating while maintaining a spot on the second pairing. The 21-year-old defenseman looks poised to be in the NHL full time this season, but his offensive upside will be limited if he can't capture a spot on the power play.

Edvinsson was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Edvinsson had a goal and an assist in 16 contests with Detroit this season. He also has recorded eight goals and 29 points in 52 games with Grand Rapids. The Red Wings' campaign is over, but he should be a serious contender for a roster spot with the big club during training camp. The Red Wings took him No. 6 overall in the 2021 NHL Draft.

Edvinsson was elevated from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Edvinsson's promotion could be an indication that there is an injury on the blue line ahead of Tuesday's clash with Columbus. While the 20-year-old blueliner has appeared in just two NHL games this season, he has been thriving in the minors with eight goals and 21 assists in 52 games for the Griffins.

Edvinsson will represent the Griffins for the 2024 AHL All-Star Classic in San Jose on Feb 4-5, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edvinsson is a big-time prospect for the Wings having been drafted by the Original Six club with the sixth overall pick in 2021. The 6-foot-6, 209-pound blueliner made his NHL debut last season, supplying two goals and an assist over 11 contests, including a pair of top-level tilts this campaign. For now, Edvinsson seems better off in the minor league where he can log heavy minutes and continue to sharpen his skills in the professional ranks, albeit a lower pressure setting. He's fashioned 20 points (six goals, 14 assists) through 30 games with the Griffins in 2023-24.
