MARCH 26, 2025 • NHL.COM

Pair of points in loss Compher scored a power-play goal on three shots, added an assist and logged three hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact This was Compher's first multi-point effort since Feb. 27 versus the Blue Jackets. He had been limited to a single assist over his first 11 contests in March before leading the way in Tuesday's loss. The 29-year-old forward has had a mediocre season with just eight goals, 20 helpers, 85 shots on net, 54 blocked shots, 20 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 65 outings. He has not finished below 30 points in a full-length season since 2017-18.

Sends assist Sunday Compher notched an assist in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Compher ended a seven-game point drought when he helped out on an Albert Johansson tally in the second period. The 29-year-old Compher has been bumped down to the third line after Marco Kasper was moved from wing to center to play on the second line. For the season, Compher has 26 points, 78 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 61 appearances.

Fight-filled 3rd leads to 134 penalty minutes in Red Wings' 7-3 win over Sabres

MARCH 13, 2025 • Associated Press

Three-game, four-point streak Compher scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday.

Impact His goal came on the power play. Compher is riding a three-game, four-point scoring streak (one goal, three assists). Overall, he has just seven goals, 18 assists and a paltry 66 shots in 53 contests. Bottom line that's simply not enough for a second-line NHL pivot. There are better options than Compher on the wire.

FEBRUARY 28, 2025 • Associated Press

Helpers in consecutive contests Compher logged an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

Impact Compher has a helper in each of the last two games after coming up empty on offense in his first two contests back from an upper-body injury earlier in the month. The 29-year-old forward will get a chance to settle in on the second line now that Andrew Copp (pectoral) is officially out for the season. Compher has had some struggles this season with 23 points, 65 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 52 appearances. If the Red Wings opt to load up for a playoff run, they may look to improve their center depth, which could lead to Compher's role getting reduced again.

Activated from IR Compher (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Following a five-game absence, Compher will return to the lineup against Tampa Bay on Saturday. He has accounted for six goals, 21 points, 63 shots on net and 37 blocked shots across 48 appearances this season. Based on Friday's practice, Compher will occupy a fourth-line role and see time on the second power-play combination.

Jonatan Berggren, J.T. Compher, Todd McLellan Media | Detroit Red Wings Jonatan Berggren, J.T. Compher, and Todd McLellan speak with the media following Detroit's practice on Thursday February 6, 2025.

FEBRUARY 6, 2025 • NHL.COM

Set to return against Bolts Compher (upper body) looks poised to return to the lineup versus the Lightning on Saturday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact According to head coach Todd McLellan, he is still awaiting final medical clearance for Compher but is expecting the winger to be available Saturday. Assume he does return, the 29-year-old Compher figures to slot into a middle-six role and will no doubt be eager to end his seven-game goal drought during which he managed just one helper and 11 shots.

FEBRUARY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on IR Compher (upper body) was put on injured reserve Sunday.

Impact Detroit activated Patrick Kane (upper body) from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Compher will miss his fourth straight game against Vancouver on Sunday, and it's unclear when he will return to the lineup. He has collected six goals, 21 points, 63 shots on net and 37 blocked shots across 48 appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out for foreseeable future Compher (upper body) will miss additional time and it's unclear when he will return to the lineup, Aaron Vickers of NHL.com reports Saturday.

Impact Compher will miss his third straight game versus Calgary on Saturday. He likely won't play versus Vancouver on Sunday and could be out until Detroit returns to action after the 4 Nations Face-Off on Feb. 22 against Minnesota. Compher has six goals, 21 points, 63 shots on net and 37 blocked shots across 48 appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Compher (upper body) is not expected to be in the lineup versus the Oilers on Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Compher is on the road trip with the Red Wings, but he is set to miss a second straight game. The 29-year-old has just two points over 12 appearances in January, so his absence won't cause much of a ripple effect in fantasy. His next chance to play is Saturday in Calgary, which is the first half of a back-to-back set.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will travel with team Compher (upper body) will join the Red Wings on their four-game road trip, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports Wednesday.

Impact Compher's presence on the trip is a good indication he'll play at some point, though he hasn't been officially confirmed for the first game against Edmonton on Thursday. Prior to suffering his upper-body injury, the 29-year-old forward was stuck in a rut with a seven-game goal drought during which he managed just one helper to go with 11 shots. If Compher gets the green light Thursday, he could move into a top-six role for Patrick Kane (upper body), who has already been ruled out.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Tuesday's practice Compher (upper body) was absent from Tuesday's practice, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Compher sat out Monday's 5-2 win over the Kings, and it's unclear if he will return against Edmonton on Thursday. He has produced six goals, 21 points, 63 shots on net and 37 blocked shots through 48 appearances this season.

Won't play Monday Compher has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings due to an undisclosed injury, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Compher hasn't missed a game since late October, but he's considered day-to-day due to his unspecified injury. However, Taylor Motte (upper body) will be able to return from his six-game absence, and he'll likely replace Compher in the lineup Monday. Compher's next opportunity to suit up will be on the road against Edmonton on Thursday.

Chips in with helper Compher provided an assist, blocked five shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Lightning.

Impact Compher had a strong defensive performance and was rewarded with a helper on Marco Kasper's tally midway through the game. The assists ended Compher's six-game point drought. The 29-year-old forward is at 21 points, 63 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 48 contests. He hasn't seen a growth in his offense like many of his teammates have under new head coach Todd McLellan, so Compher's fantasy value remains limited to deep formats.
