J.T. Compher - NHL News & Rumors

Set to miss Tuesday's game Compher (undisclosed) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's home contest against the Senators.

Impact Compher was absent from Tuesday's morning skate and will be considered day-to-day. For an encouraging sign regarding the 31-year-old's undisclosed injury, his injury timeline was listed to be shorter than those of Marco Kasper (upper body) and Mason Appleton (undisclosed), meaning that Compher is likely expected to be back within the next handful of games. For as long as Compher is sidelined, Nate Danielson is expected to have a role as the team's fourth line center.

Deposits goal Sunday Compher tallied a goal and put two shots on net in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Compher found the back of the net for Detroit's second goal of the third period to put the team within one score. Overall, he now has 11 goals, 26 points, 92 shots on net and 50 blocked shots across 77 games this season. Despite the quiet season offensively, the 30-year-old center has been scoring more frequently as of late with three goals and six points over his last 12 games. His fantasy upside is capped on the Red Wings' third line, but he can provide decent category coverage in a pinch.

Picking up pace with teammates out Compher scored a goal Thursday in a 3-1 win over Montreal.

Impact He was credited with the goal after Patrick Kane's shot from the right point deflected off Jakob Dobes' blocker and bounced in off Compher as he battled in front of the net. His efforts have been noticed by his teammates. "(Compher) has been great since (Dylan Larkin) and (Andrew Copp) went out," Alex DeBrincat said after the game. "He was filling in on Larkin's line and now he's playing with us and he's been really good." Compher has three points (one goal, two assists) and four shots in his last two games and four points, including two goals, in his last four contests.

Adds two apples Monday Compher distributed two assists and placed two shots on net in Monday's 5-2 win over Calgary.

Impact Compher's two-assist night snapped his seven-game streak without a helper. He did so impressively, getting both assists across a five-minute span in the second period. Overall, the 30-year-old center is up to 14 assists, 23 points, 80 shots on net and 41 blocked shots across 68 games this season. In the absence of Dylan Larkin (leg) and Andrew Copp (leg), Compher is playing his largest role of the season on Detroit's top line and has benefitted from centering Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane. Compher holds solid streaming value in deep fantasy leagues while the Red Wings remain thin at the center position.

Pots lone goal in loss Compher scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning.

Impact The absences of Dylan Larkin (leg) and Andrew Copp (leg) have pressed Compher into the top-line center job, where he'll likely be for at least a couple of weeks. The 30-year-old Compher doesn't fit that mold perfectly, but he's a fine fill-in for now, and his offense should rise with better linemates than usual. He snapped a 12-game goal drought Thursday, a span in which he had just one assist). He's at nine goals, 21 points, 77 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 66 appearances this season.

Scores twice vs. Jets Compher scored two goals and took four shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Compher scored twice in the same game for the first time this season, and now the 30-year-old has eight goals in the campaign. As good as he was Saturday, however, Compher isn't known for being much of a fantasy contributor. He has 19 points in 53 games this season, and there's a chance he might not reach the 30-point plateau -- something that hasn't happened since 2020-21.

Puts away goal Compher scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Compher has two goals and two assists over his last six outings. He's been a fine depth scorer in a middle-six role this season, picking up 17 points in 49 outings. He's added 55 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 17 hits, 17 PIM and a minus-3 rating. Compher has seen sparse usage on the power play, so it's unlikely his recent success is sustainable in the long run.

Two-point effort Thursday Compher produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Both points came in the second period, as Compher helped set up what proved to be the game-winner by Axel Sandin-Pellikka before potting a goal himself. Compher snapped a 19-game drought with the tally, but he's picked up the pace on offense since Christmas, chipping in five points in the last seven games -- a boost that's come while he's had Lucas Raymond and James van Riemsdyk as his wingers.
