Motte scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked three shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Motte has four points over 16 contests since the start of March as a bottom-six regular for the Red Wings. The 30-year-old forward won't do a lot on offense, but he's played well enough to stay in the lineup since Andrew Copp (pectoral) was ruled out for the year. Motte is now at eight points, 54 shots on net, 63 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating across 48 appearances in 2024-25.

EDGE Analysis

Motte is filling in for Michael Rasmussen (upper body). The 29-year-old Motte has had his own injury issues at times this season, though he's no lock for the lineup even when healthy. He's at four points, 37 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-12 rating across 32 appearances. Motte has never earned a 20-point campaign and has virtually no chance to get there in 2024-25, so he's not a fantasy option in the vast majority of formats.

Motte (upper body) will play versus the Kings on Monday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Motte will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game due to his upper-body injury.

Motte (upper body) won't travel with the Red Wings for the start of their upcoming four-game road trip, which begins Thursday versus the Panthers, per Carley Johnston of the Red Wings' official site on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Motte might still link up with the Red Wings before the end of the trip. He has two goals, four points, 35 hits and 20 blocks in 28 appearances in 2024-25. Motte is typically in the mix for a bottom-six spot when he's healthy.

EDGE Analysis

Motte was hurt in a collision along the boards in the second period. The 29-year-old forward has earned two helpers over six outings in December, but he's not particularly noticeable for fantasy. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of the start of the Red Wings' road trip, which begins against the Panthers on Thursday.
