Marco Kasper - NHL News & Rumors

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.

One of each in Saturday's win Kasper scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, logged six hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Kasper's offense has improved recently with two goals and four assists over his last five games. That has helped him get back into a top-six role, though the first-line left wing spot he's currently in has been a revolving door for the Red Wings this season. Kasper is up to five goals, 12 points, 80 shots on net, 120 hits, 31 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 52 appearances. He's been hit hard by the sophomore slump, but if he can sustain his recent success, he'll be a good waiver-wire pickup.

Two-point effort Friday Kasper scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact It was the 21-year-old's first multi-point performance since Oct. 30. Kasper has endured a rough sophomore slump in 2025-26, managing just four goals and eight points in 48 games, and without a consistent spot in the top six or on a power-play unit, it'll be tough for him to turn things around.

Finds helper in win Kasper logged an assist and two PIM in Monday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.

Impact Kasper's first helper of the season ended his 18-game point drought. The 21-year-old has gotten on the scoresheet in just three of 30 games so far, earning three goals and a helper, as well as 44 shots on net, 72 hits, 25 PIM and a minus-12 rating. He's slipped into a bottom-six role with minimal power-play time over the last few weeks, and he'll need to show significantly better consistency on offense to regain some ice time. Kasper showed his talent with a 19-goal, 37-point effort in 77 outings last year, but he's been hit hard by the sophomore slump.
