Detroit Red Wings forward Andrew Copp has suffered a broken cheekbone on an undetected high stick on Tuesday versus the Washington Capitals, according to bench boss Derek Lalonde. Copp left the game in the second period and did not return. The veteran has appeared in all 77 games so far for the team this season but will be sidelined for an indefinite period of time while Zach Aston-Reese slides into the lineup. For the season, Copp has registered 13 goals and 33 points across those 77 contests on the season, adding 107 shots on goal in that time. With their 2-1 win on Tuesday, the Capitals leapfrogged the Red Wings and now sit one point ahead for the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Detroit Red Wings center Andrew Copp suffered a broken cheekbone in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Washington. He was injured late in the game on a high stick that went uncalled by the officials. Copp finished scoreless in the contest across 13:48 of action. The Red Wings, who are in the midst of a fierce battle for a playoff spot, return to action on Thursday against Pittsburgh. Copp would mainly be missed for his defensive presence, although he has also produced 33 points (13 goals, 20 assists) in 77 games this season. Joe Veleno and Austin Czarnik are the candidates to take over the third-line center role.
Detroit Red Wings center Andrew Copp collected an assist as he returned from a one-game absence in Sunday's 3-2 victory over Anaheim.

It was a good comeback game for Copp, but his life has been difficult in Motown this season. Through 39 outings, the 29-year-old centerman has produced only 18 points (three goals, 15 assists), and his current scoring average is his lowest since the 2019-20 campaign.

The veteran forward has notched 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 38 games overall. According to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press, the Red Wings could elect to use an extra defenseman against the Kings if Copp isn't available.

Andrew Copp Signs One Year Contract with Winnipeg Jets
Andrew Copp does the Winnipeg Jets a huge favor by signing a one-year deal with the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. Copp will get paid $3.64 million. The significant fact for Winnipeg is that this keeps them under the salary cap. For Copp, this gets him to unrestricted free agency at the end of the season. The forward produced a career-high 39 points in 55 games while playing over 18 minutes a night. The question is with a deeper and healthier roster, how will Copp be utilized?

Despite that, do expect a dip in time on ice and production.
