Suiting up against Bolts Motte (lower body) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's clash with Tampa Bay, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Motte is trying to earn a permanent contract after joining the Cats on the PTO for training camp. He'll have three preseason games -- all against the Lightning -- to prove himself to team brass. If he does sign with the club, don't be surprised to see him ink a two-way contract that allows him to shift between levels. Even when up with the big club, Motte could frequently find himself serving as a healthy scratch.

Unavailable Monday Motte (lower body) will be sidelined versus the Hurricanes on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Motte seems like a long shot to get into the lineup versus the Bolts on Tuesday but hasn't been officially ruled out. With the veteran center in camp on a PTO, he probably can't afford to miss a lot of time, though the injury to Aleksander Barkov (knee) figures to open up a roster spot ahead of Opening Night against the Blackhawks on Oct. 7.

Exits with injury Motte (lower body) left Wednesday's preseason game versus the Hurricanes for precautionary reasons, per Armando Velez of The Hockey News.

Impact It sounds like the Panthers didn't want to push things with Motte, who is in camp on a professional tryout agreement. The 30-year-old can be considered day-to-day ahead of the Panthers' next preseason contest, which is a rematch with the Hurricanes on Monday.

Lands PTO with Cats Motte signed a professional tryout agreement with Florida, NHL Insider Frank Seravalli reports Wednesday.

Impact Motte will be competing with fellow PTO signee Noah Gregor for a spot on the defending Stanley Cup champions' roster. With the Wings last year, the 30-year-old center notched four goals and five helpers while averaging just 11:19 of ice time. Even if Motte does make the team, it figures to be in a fourth-line role that could include some stints in the press box as a healthy scratch.

Finds twine Friday Motte scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked three shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Impact Motte has held down a fourth-line role when healthy this season. He's earned four points over his last 14 games, and he's up to nine points, 60 shots on net, 68 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating across 52 appearances. His limited offense makes him a poor option in most fantasy formats.

Marco Kasper scores in OT to lift Red Wings past the Lightning, 4-3

Marco Kasper scored his second goal of the game at 3:22 of overtime to give the Detroit Red Wings a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night

APRIL 12, 2025 • Associated Press

Contributes helper Motte produced an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Motte has four points over 16 contests since the start of March as a bottom-six regular for the Red Wings. The 30-year-old forward won't do a lot on offense, but he's played well enough to stay in the lineup since Andrew Copp (pectoral) was ruled out for the year. Motte is now at eight points, 54 shots on net, 63 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating across 48 appearances in 2024-25.

Tallies in Monday's win Motte scored a goal on two shots, added four PIM and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over Utah.

Impact Motte tallied late in the third period on a feed from Craig Smith. The 30-year-old Motte has seven points this season, three of which he's earned over his last nine outings. He's added 51 shots on net, 56 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating across 43 contests, primarily in a fourth-line role.

Red Wings coast to 5-1 win over Utah, snap six-game road skid

Picks up assist in loss Motte notched an assist in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Utah.

Impact Motte has played in six straight games, but this was his first point since Jan. 7 versus the Senators. The 29-year-old has been limited to five points over 35 contests this season while occasionally being a healthy scratch and also contending with injuries earlier in the campaign. He's added 40 shots on net, 45 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating in a fourth-line role.

MARCH 7, 2025 • Associated Press

Filling in on fourth line Motte played in his third straight game in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Motte is filling in for Michael Rasmussen (upper body). The 29-year-old Motte has had his own injury issues at times this season, though he's no lock for the lineup even when healthy. He's at four points, 37 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-12 rating across 32 appearances. Motte has never earned a 20-point campaign and has virtually no chance to get there in 2024-25, so he's not a fantasy option in the vast majority of formats.

FEBRUARY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to rock Motte (upper body) will play versus the Kings on Monday, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Motte will probably return to a bottom-six role following a six-game absence. He has two goals, two assists, 31 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 35 hits through 28 appearances this season. Motte will replace J.T. Compher (undisclosed) in Monday's lineup.

Ruled out Saturday Motte (upper body) will not be available versus Tampa Bay on Saturday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Motte will miss his sixth consecutive game, after he was injured Jan. 14 against the Sharks. Motte has two goals and four points over 28 games this season. He could return Monday when the Red Wings host Los Angeles.

Won't play against Montreal Motte (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's home game against the Canadiens, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Motte will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game due to his upper-body injury. However, head coach Todd McLellan said before Thursday's game that the Red Wings will have a better idea of Motte's return timetable following Friday's practice. Elmer Soderblom will likely remain in the lineup Thursday.

Missing start of road trip Motte (upper body) won't travel with the Red Wings for the start of their upcoming four-game road trip, which begins Thursday versus the Panthers, per Carley Johnston of the Red Wi...

Impact Motte might still link up with the Red Wings before the end of the trip. He has two goals, four points, 35 hits and 20 blocks in 28 appearances in 2024-25. Motte is typically in the mix for a bottom-six spot when he's healthy.

JANUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Departs Tuesday's game Motte (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Sharks.

Impact Motte was hurt in a collision along the boards in the second period. The 29-year-old forward has earned two helpers over six outings in December, but he's not particularly noticeable for fantasy. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of the start of the Red Wings' road trip, which begins against the Panthers on Thursday.

JANUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sets up game-winner Thursday Motte notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Motte fed Jonatan Berggren just out of the penalty box for the game-winning goal at 19:24 of the third period. With two points over his last five games, Motte has found a little more success, but he's also been scratched twice in that span. The 29-year-old forward has three points, 27 shots on net, 31 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 23 appearances in a fourth-line role this season.

JANUARY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Puts away goal Motte scored a goal in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact This was Motte's first point over eight appearances in December. He converted on a pass from Michael Rasmussen, who stole the puck to create the goal. The 29-year-old Motte is at just two goals with 24 shots on net, 26 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 19 outings this season. He plays in the bottom six, and given he's never had more than 19 points in a single season, he's not a particularly intriguing forward for fantasy.

Scores in Friday's loss Motte scored a goal on five shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Devils.

Impact Motte picked up his first point of the season with a second-period tally. The 29-year-old has played in five straight games and should be able to keep a steadier spot in the lineup after being hindered by an upper-body injury in October. He's added 19 shots on net and 16 hits over 11 appearances.
