He didn't have a point for the Red Wings in the playoffs, but registered 19 goals and 39 points in 73 contests during the regular season. Tatar represented Slovakia at the Sochi Olympics as well, where he had a goal and an assist in four outings.

Tomas Tatar led the way for Detroit Thursday, but it wasn't enough to hold off the Canadiens in a 5-4 loss.

Tomas Tatar notched a goal and added an assist in Detroit's 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota on Sunday. He now has 16 goals and 30 points in 62 games with the Red Wings. Tatar has been skating on Detroit's "Kid Line" alongside Gustav Nyquist and Riley Sheahan.

Tomas Tatar had an assist and fired home the shootout winner for the Red Wings in their 2-1 victory over Edmonton on Friday night. The 23 year-old snapped a five game pointless drought, and has points in just two games out of his last 11. Tatar has 27 points through 57 games this season.

Tomas Tatar wants the NHL to participate in the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea. "I don't think the Olympics would be the same (without NHL players)," he said. "You want the Olympics to have the best athletes. I know for owners and (general) managers the injuries aren't the best (news). But it's just part of hockey. The injuries can happen here, too." He played for Slovakia in Sochi and he generated two points in four matches.

Tomas Tatar netted Slovakia's only goal in a 7-1 loss to the United States on Thursday. It was the first game of the tournament for both teams and it also marked Tatar's Olympic debut. Marian Hossa picked up the lone assist on Tatar's marker.

Detroit Red Wings forward Tomas Tatar generated one goal and one assist in a 5-4 (SO) loss to the Florida Panthers on Sunday. The 23-year-old has been streaky lately. He has three points in his last three games, went three games without a point from Jan. 12 - 20 and had another three-game streak (3G, 1A) before that. He's an interesting player to watch but probably not worth the investment right now.

Tomas Tatar should be in the Detroit lineup Saturday night against Los Angeles. He had travelled back to Slovakia for his father's funeral and missed Thursday night's game. Although he may be a bit tired and drained, Tatar's return is a welcome sight for the Wings who have not scored a goal in two games. Activate Tatar if you need him.

Tomas Tatar has returned home to Slovakia to attend his father's funeral. He won't be available to play Thursday night against the New York Rangers as a result. Tatar lost his father shortly before he scored the game-winning goal and added an assist against Los Angeles last Saturday.
