Ben Chiarot - Quiet on offense Chiarot's scoring drought reached 14 games in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Impact Chiarot is a shutdown defenseman in the Red Wings' top four, but this is a brutal slump even by his standards. He's reached the 20-point mark in two of the last three years and missed by one point in the other campaign in that span. He's opened 2024-25 with two assists, 22 shots on net, 21 PIM, 25 hits, 41 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 18 appearances. Chiarot's not in any obvious danger of being scratched, but he won't be much of a factor in fantasy as long as his offense is cold.

Erik Gustafsson - Ends slump with power-play helper Gustafsson recorded a power-play assist and two PIM in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Impact Gustafsson put an 11-game slump to rest when he set up Marco Kasper's first-period tally. Gustafsson has played in a majority of games, though he was scratched twice during his dry spell and is far from a lock to play every contest. He has just three helpers with 22 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 14 outings. Gustafsson's main value is in power-play production -- he's earned all of his assists with the man advantage -- but he's been limited to the second unit for the better part of the last month, which reduces his opportunities to make an impact.

Simon Edvinsson - Picks up helper in return Edvinsson recorded an assist and two PIM over 23:14 of ice time in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Impact 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.

Givani Smith - No clear path to playing time Smith has been scratched for six of the Sharks' first eight games in November after sitting out Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.
Impact The winger has just four appearances this season, earning no points with seven hits, 10 PIM, three blocked shots, two shots on goal and a minus-1 rating. Smith will likely have to wait for injuries to pop up before he'd have a chance at a steady spot in the lineup, and even then it's not a guarantee. The 26-year-old plays on the fourth line when he draws in, and his career high of seven points gives him minimal upside for any fantasy format.
