Notches helper in loss Motte registered an even-strength assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime preseason loss against Ottawa.

Impact Motte had the primary helper on Marco Kasper's first of two markers. Motte is entering his first season with Detroit after appearing in 69 regular-season contests with Tampa Bay in 2023-24. The Michigan native signed a one-year deal with the Red Wings during the offseason, and he'll likely be a staple in the bottom six and on the penalty kill.

Impact Motte was limited to nine points in 69 regular-season games with the Lightning last year, and he added just one goal over five playoff contests. He's an effective bottom-six forward who can add penalty killing and physicality, but he's never achieved a 20-point season.

May not play Sunday Motte (lower body) is questionable for Sunday's tilt in Florida, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.

Not playing Wednesday Motte (lower body) won't suit up for Wednesday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Motte will miss his third straight game, though it makes sense the Lightning aren't pushing him to play in a contest that won't impact the final standings. The 29-year-old will contend for a bottom-six role in the postseason once he's cleared to return.

Labeled day-to-day Motte (lower body) is considered day-to-day and is expected to miss out against Washington on Saturday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Motte is expected to be ready to play when the postseason kicks off but could be sidelined for more than just Saturday's clash with Washington. Considering the 29-year-old center is mired in a 16-game goal drought, during which he recorded just one assist, few fantasy players figure to be impacted by Motte's absence.

Snaps 12-game point drought Motte picked up an assist Thursday in a 7-4 win over the Canadiens.

Impact He snapped a month-long (12-game) point drought with the apple. Motte is a character player with speed and agility, but his scoring touch from his amateur days hasn't manifested itself in the NHL. The 29-year-old has only nine points (six goals, three assists) and 82 shots in 66 contests.

Motte has just two points -- both goals -- in his last 17 games. He plays hard on the ice, but his value in the fantasy arena is soft.

Modest production for checker Motte has one goal and one assist in his last five games.

Impact Mottee has also eight hits and seven shots in that span in a bottom-six role. He's a high-energy, speedy checking forward who makes life miserable for opponents, but doesn't hit the score sheet a lot (three goals, two assists; 34 games).

Scores goal versus Oilers Motte scored a goal on one shot against Edmonton on Thursday.

Impact Motte found the back of the net for the first time this season and has managed a mere 23 shots over that stretch. Slotting into a fourth-line role, the Michigan native will be hard-pressed to offer much in the way of fantasy value moving forward.

Impact Motte appears to be making progress in his recovery after having previously been more of a long shot to play during the upcoming road trip. Even once cleared to play, Motte probably shouldn't be expected to be a consistent offensive producer considering he has never reached the 20-point threshold in his NHL career. To take Motte off injured reserve, Tampa Bay will have to make a corresponding roster move, likely sending Waltteri Merela to the minors as he is exempt from passing through waivers.

Impact Motte appears to be trending in the right direction, though he is still working his way into game fitness. Even once given the all-clear, the 28-year-old forward is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value considering he has never reached the 20-point threshold in his eight-year NHL career.
