Vladimir Tarasenko - Misses practice Tuesday
Tarasenko (illness) did not participate in Tuesday's practice, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
Impact Tarasenko was unable to play in Monday's 5-2 win over Los Angeles, and his status is uncertain for Thursday's road matchup against the Oilers. Dominik Shine, who made his NHL debut Monday, should continue to occupy a fourth-line role so long as Tarasenko is sidelined.

Redmond Savage - Collegiate season over
Savage will miss the remainder of Michigan State's 2024-25 campaign due to an upper-body injury, MLive.com reports Tuesday.
Impact Savage had been putting up decent numbers with the Spartans this year, registering five goals and six helpers in 20 contests for Michigan State. Selected by the Wings in the fourth round of the 2021 NHL Draft, the 21-year-old center could make the jump to the professional ranks last year -- though this injury could give him another year of collegiate eligibility.

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.

Quinton Byfield - Credited with goal
Byfield scored a goal, fired two shots on net, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact Byfield was credited with the Kings' second goal, which was officially an own goal by the Red Wings. This is the 22-year-old's second straight game with a tally after he went eight contests without one. Byfield is up to 11 goals, 23 points, 89 shots on net, 41 hits, 24 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 47 appearances in 2024-25.

Kevin Fiala - Finds twine in Monday's loss
Fiala scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact Fiala kept up his recent surge, which has seen him produce two goals and five assists, as well as 25 shots on net, over his last six contests. The 28-year-old winger is up to 16 goals, 13 helpers, 136 shots, 30 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 46 appearances. He continues to play in a middle-six role and offers strong potential for fantasy managers who can tolerate his streaky production.
