Dylan Larkin Tallies Two Points In Victory

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin tallied a goal and an assist during their victory over the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday evening. Larkin did all of his damage in the third period. He would first find the back of the net in a snapshot. Later in the period, he would add the primary assist on Alex DeBrincat's 38th goal of the campaign. This was his second-straight contest, tallying two points. Over his last seven games, Larkin has found the back of the net twice and added six helpers. Before this recent surge, Larkin carried a five-game scoreless streak during the final week of March. Through 81 games this season, the 28-year-old has scored 30 goals and added 40 helpers. This was his fourth-straight season hitting the 30-goal mark and the second time in four years tallying at least 70 points.

Lucas Raymond Scores Goal, Adds Two Helpers

Detroit Red Wings right wing Lucas Raymond scored a goal and added two assists during their 6-4 victory over the Dallas Stars. Raymond would do all of his damage in the third period. He first tallied two primary assists, with one of them coming on Moritz Seider's power-play goal. Later in the frame, Raymond would find the back of the net himself during 5-on-5 play. This outing snapped a three-game scoreless streak for Raymond. Before his minor slump, the former fourth overall pick tallied five points (two goals) over his last five contests. Through 80 games this season, Raymond enjoyed a career season, scoring 27 goals and adding 51 assists. His previous season-high point total was 72, which was his tally from last season. He remains a strong play in DFS over the final week of the regular season.

Marco Kasper Leads The Way On Friday

Detroit Red Wings center Marco Kasper scored twice during their 4-3 overtime victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday evening.

During this stretch, he has logged 18 shots on goal, tallied 16 hits, and logged three blocked shots.

Cam Talbot Stops 32 Shots On Sunday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Cam Talbot led the way in their victory over the Florida Panthers on Sunday evening. In this contest, Talbot stopped 32 of the 33 shots he saw. The Panthers dominated the shot total, but Talbot was able to stand tall. His lone mistake came in the third period when Anton Lundell scored on a deflection. This outing has extended Talbot's recent strong stretch of performances. He has won each of his past two starts and holds a 3-1-1 record over his last five. In his last five outings, Talbot has posted a strong 1.72 GAA with a .945 save percentage. This is an excellent sign as he posted a high 4.11 GAA and an underwhelming .852 save percentage over his previous five games. He will look to stay hot on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens.

Dylan Larkin Ends Dry Spell With Two-Assist Effort

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin broke a five-game scoring drought in Friday's matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes, bagging a pair of points via assists in a 5-3 victory. He helped to set up Ben Chiarot for the game's opening goal and collected the lone helper when Alex DeBrincat capped off the surprising victory with an empty-net tally. Larkin remains on track for his second 70-point campaign, but it has been a struggle for him during the last three weeks. In 10 outings, the Red Wings captain has finished without a point seven times. Despite his drop in form, Larkin is tied with DeBrincat for the second-most points on the team, sitting on 64 points (28 goals, 36 assists) through 75 outings.

Elmer Soderblom • LW • Red Wings

Elmer Soderblom Available Friday

Detroit Red Wings left wing Elmer Soderblom (undisclosed) is ready to rejoin the action on Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Detroit has not played him for four games because Soderblom has been dealing with an undisclosed injury. The 23-year-old scored his fourth goal of the season in his last appearance against the Utah Hockey Club and has amassed 10 points in 23 outings with 31 shots. Soderblom is projected to skate with Tyler Motte and Craig Smith on the fourth line in Friday's game, limiting his fantasy appeal. Austin Watson will make room in the lineup for Soderblom.

Elmer Soderblom Not Playing On Thursday

Detroit Red Wings left wing Elmer Soderblom (undisclosed) will not play on Thursday evening against the Ottawa Senators. Soderblom was unable to play in their previous contest and has missed two out of his past three contests due to this injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Saturday evening against the Boston Bruins. Since the start of the month (10 games), Soderblom has found the back of the net twice and added two helpers. During this stretch, Soderblom has logged 10 shots on goal and added 10 hits and six blocked shots. With the 23-year-old sitting out on Thursday, fantasy managers should expect Jonatan Berggren to remain in the starting lineup and play on the third offensive line.

Alex DeBrincat • RW • Red Wings

Alex DeBrincat Tallies Two Points On Monday

Detroit Red Wings right wing Alex DeBrincat tallied two points during their 5-1 victory over the Utah Hockey Club on Monday evening. DeBrincat would tally his first point of the evening with the primary assist on Marco Kasper's 14th goal of the season in the second frame. Later in the third period, DeBrincat found the back of the net with the empty-netter to put the game out of reach. Over his last six contests, DeBrincat has been quite productive on the scoresheet, tallying four goals with four helpers. During this stretch, he tallied 17 shots on goal and held a +5 rating. Before this recent surge, DeBrincat was riding a four-game scoreless streak. Through 70 games this season, DeBrincat has found the back of the net 33 times and added 28 helpers.

Petr Mrazek • G • Red Wings

Petr Mrazek Exits On Monday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) exited early during Monday's contest against the Utah Hockey Club. Mrazek suffered this injury during the second minute of the opening frame. He only stopped one shot before being replaced by Alex Lyon. Fantasy managers should monitor his status as the Red Wings will play in the second half of their back-to-back on Tuesday evening in Colorado. However, given the potential extent of the injury, Lyon or Cam Talbot will likely get the starting nod. Before Monday, Mrazek held a 2-2 record with a modest .901 save percentage and a 2.51 GAA over his last four contests. Through 38 games this season, the 33-year-old has posted a 12-21-2 record with an underwhelming 3.35 GAA and a .891 save percentage.

Erik Gustafsson • D • Red Wings

Erik Gustafsson Facing Long-Term Absence

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Erik Gustafsson (undisclosed) will face an extended absence, according to the team. Gustafsson was not practicing on Thursday after suffering this injury during Tuesday's contest against the Washington Capitals. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status but he currently carries an unknown timetable. The Red Wings also promoted Brogan Rafferty from Grand Rapids to operate as a depth defenseman. Over his previous 12 games, Gustafsson has tallied five points (all helpers) with 14 shots on goal, eight hits, and nine blocked shots. Through 60 games this season, the 33-year-old has found the back of the net twice and added 16 helpers with a -19 rating. While he remains out, fantasy managers should expect either Rafferty or William Lagesson to enter the starting lineup.

Jeff Petry • D • Red Wings

Jeff Petry Traveling With The Team

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jeff Petry (undisclosed) will travel with the team on their upcoming road trip. However, Petry is not expected to return to the lineup on Saturday against the Golden Knights but could return on Monday against the Utah Hockey Club. The 37-year-old has been sidelined since the first week of January. Through 34 games this season, Petry has found the back of the net just once and added five helpers. During this stretch, Petry has held a -7 rating with 39 hits and 56 blocked shots. When Petry does return, fantasy managers should expect him to return to the bottom defensive pairing alongside Justin Holl. He will only carry value in deeper formats that reward hits and blocked shots.

Erik Gustafsson Does Not Practice On Thursday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Erik Gustafsson (undisclosed) was not able to practice on Thursday. Gustafsson suffered this injury during their contest on Tuesday evening and could be in danger of missing their next game on Saturday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he may need to miss time. Over his previous six contests, Gustafsson has tallied just one point (a helper) with four hits and four blocked shots. Through 60 games this season, Gustafsson has found the back of the net twice and added 16 helpers. Gustafsson has been effective on the power play, tallying eight of his helpers on the man advantage. In addition, Gustafsson added 28 hits with 44 blocked shots. If he were to miss Saturday's game, William Lagesson could enter the starting lineup.

Patrick Kane • RW • Red Wings

Patrick Kane Leads The Way Over Buffalo

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane tallied five points in their 7-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday evening. Kane was busy in the opening frame as he dished out two helpers (one primary) before finding the back of the net on the power-play. Later in the third period, Kane scored his second goal in the contest, once again on the power-play, and added another secondary assist. He held a +3 rating in this contest with five total shots and on block. Over his last 10 contests entering Wednesday, the 26-year-old has been productive tallying 10 points (four goals) over this span, with six of them coming on the man advantage. Kane remains a solid pick in DFS on Friday evening given his recent surge despite facing a tough Carolina defense.

Petr Mrazek • G • Red Wings

Petr Mrazek Starting On Wednesday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Petr Mrazek is expected to get the starting nod on Wednesday evening when the Red Wings host the Buffalo Sabres. Mrazek was traded to the Red Wings from the Chicago Blackhawks prior to the Trade Deadline. Mrazek began his NHL career in Detroit and will look to lead them to a playoff birth. Earlier this season, Mrazek has held a modest 10-19-2 record with the Blackhawks. Across 33 games, he has held a modest 3.46 GAA with a .890 save percentage. This is a slight decline compared to the 18-31-4 record and the 3.04 GAA and .907 save percentage he posted during the 2023 campaign. Fantasy managers should expect Mrazek to split time in the crease alongside Alex Lyon and Cam Talbot. He is a viable play in DFS this evening facing the Sabres who are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

Michael Rasmussen • C • Red Wings

Michael Rasmussen Cleared To Return On Thursday

Detroit Red Wings right wing Michael Rasmussen (head) is cleared to return to the starting lineup on Thursday when the Red Wings face the Utah Hockey Club. The 25-year-old has been sidelined for their previous four contests due to this injury. Fantasy managers should expect Rasmussen to return to his role in the bottom-six of the Detroit offense. Before his injury, the 25-year-old tallied three points (all helpers) over his last nine contests. During this stretch, Rasmussen tallied 20 shots on goal with 11 hits and five blocked shots. Through 56 total contests, Rasmussen has scored nine goals and added seven helpers with 96 hits and 38 blocked shots. Given his lack of consistent offensive production and low ice time, he carries high-risk in DFS formats on Thursday evening.

Andrew Copp Out For The Season

Detroit Red Wings forward Andrew Copp (upper body) has been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his left pectoral tendon. He was injured in Saturday's matchup against the Minnesota Wild. Copp's recovery is expected to take 4-6 months. The 30-year-old finishes the 2024-25 campaign with 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists) in 56 outings. Detroit has placed Copp on Injured Reserve and recalled Sheldon Dries from the AHL in a corresponding move. Dries, who last saw NHL action in 2022-23, is projected to enter the lineup on the fourth line Tuesday night for a rematch against Minnesota.

Andrew Copp Placed On Injured Reserve

Detroit Red Wings center Andrew Copp (undisclosed) was placed on the injured reserve on Monday. In a corresponding move, the Red Wings promoted forward Sheldon Dries from the AHL. Copp was unable to play on Sunday and will now miss at least the next two contests. However, the 30-year-old could face an extended absence.

He has tallied 35 blocked shots and added 68 shots on goal. While Copp is sidelined, Elmer Soderblom could have an increased role in the offense, and Sheldon Dries should also have a role in the bottom six.

Rasmussen sustained this injury during their overtime victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. Rasmussen left the contest in the second frame after taking a hit. Before exiting, the 25-year-old logged just over eight minutes of ice time and held a -1 rating with two hits. Across 56 contests this season, Rasmussen has found the back of the net eight times and added seven helpers with 96 hits and 38 blocked shots.

The forward is also considered doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Anaheim Ducks. Before leaving, Copp did tally an assist.

Lucas Raymond Tries To Extend Point Streak Against USA

Detroit Red Wings winger Lucas Raymond has started the 4 Nations Face-Off strong for Sweden and aims to stay productive in Monday's clash against Team USA. Raymond has recorded three assists through the tournament's first two games, doing all his scoring during even-strength play. However, he hasn't found success in front of the net, coming up empty-handed with five attempts on goal. Combined with his time with the Red Wings, Raymond is on a five-game point streak. The 22-year-old is on track for a career year in the NHL this season, boasting 21 goals and 59 points with 55 games played.
