Marco Kasper - NHL News & Rumors

Red Wings recall Sheldon Dries from Grand Rapids under emergency conditions | Detroit Red Wings Detroit activates Dylan Larkin from injured reserve; Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton placed on injured reserve

1 DAY AGO • NHL.COM

Deemed week-to-week Kasper (upper body) has been given a week-to-week timetable for return.

Impact Head coach Todd McLellan confirmed that Kasper will miss at least a week after being placed on injured reserve. The 22-year-old center played in Detroit's Opening Night matchup against the Rangers, but wasn't able to suit up against Winnipeg on Sunday. He's coming off a sophomore slump offensively, where he posted nine goals and 19 points across 81 regular-season games in 2025-26. However, Kasper does a lot of work without the puck for the Red Wings, who will hope to have him back on the earlier side of his week-to-week timeline for return. In his absence, Nate Danielson will likely be a regular contributor up the center of the ice.

Placed on injured reserve Kasper (upper body) has been designated for injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Kasper was sidelined against the Jets on Sunday and will now miss additional games due to his upper-body problem. Fortunately for the Wings, their center depth will still get a boost with the return of Dylan Larkin (upper body). In 81 regular-season games last year, Kasper managed just 19 points, well below the 37 points he put up as a rookie the year before.

Unavailable Sunday Kasper (upper body) won't play Sunday against Winnipeg, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Kasper didn't participate in Saturday's practice and is still being evaluated. He had four shots on goal and five PIM over 10:50 of ice time against the Rangers on Friday. However, he wasn't injured in his second-period fight with Rangers defenseman Sean Durzi. Carter Mazur will probably play against the Jets on Sunday because of Kasper's absence.

Two helpers in preseason loss Kasper pocketed two assists in Saturday's 4-2 preseason loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Both helpers came in the third period as Kasper tried to spark a comeback from a 3-0 deficit. The 22-year-old center saw his numbers take a significant step backwards in 2025-26, as he managed just nine goals and 19 points in 81 games, but Kasper could be thrust into a top-six role this season if Dylan Larkin (upper body) gets his desired trade.

Rare goal in tough sophomore season Kaspar scored a goal in a 4-3 overtime loss to Tampa Bay on Monday.

Impact It was a backhander from the edge of the crease; it was his ninth snipe of the season (10 assists, 129 shots; 80 games). Kasper took a huge step backward in 2025-26. Last year, he had 19 goals, 18 assists and 145 shots. Kasper has one more year on his entry-level contract, and he will need to prove he can be the top-six pivot the team hoped they were drafting in 2022.

Tallies in Friday's win Kasper scored a goal in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact Kasper snapped a six-game slump with his first-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. He's had trouble getting consistent offense this season, which includes March, a month in which he's earned two goals and two assists over four outings. The 21-year-old forward is up to eight goals, 17 points, 115 shots on net, 167 hits, 46 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 71 appearances. Kasper is likely to close out the regular season in a middle-six role.

Nets goal in loss Kasper scored a goal on four shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Kasper scored in the third period to give the Red Wings a 3-2 lead, but they couldn't make it last. The 21-year-old could be in line for a significant boost in ice time if both of Dylan Larkin and Andrew Copp are sidelined by their respective leg injuries for Thursday's game against the Lightning. In 64 outings this season, Kasper has earned 16 points, 104 shots on net, 143 hits, 43 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-10 rating.

Two-point effort in win Kasper pocketed two assists, one shorthanded, in Monday's 4-2 win over the Predators.

Impact The 21-year-old center helped set up an Emmitt Finnie tally early in the first period, as well as Albert Johansson's game-winner late in the second. Kasper is longer skating in a top-six role, but he's still finding ways to be productive. Over the last 13 games, he's managed three goals and nine points.

Strikes early in win Kasper scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Monday's 2-0 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Kasper's goal 33 seconds into the game guaranteed the Red Wings would be more productive than they were in a 5-0 loss to Colorado on Saturday. In the end, Kasper's goal was all Detroit needed in the win. He had gone three games without a point, but the slump hasn't cost him a top-line spot, giving him a chance to continue working on a second-half surge. He's at six goals, 13 points, 88 shots on net, 127 hits, 35 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 56 appearances.
