Pockets assist Tuesday Djoos produced an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.
Impact Djoos had the secondary helper on Adam Erne's third-period goal. The 26-year-old Djoos has collected four helpers in his last six games. He sometimes exits the lineup if the Red Wings only deploy six defensemen. For the season, the Swede has notched 10 points, 36 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 33 appearances.

Snags helper Merrill produced an assist, two blocked shots, a pair of shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.

A defense-first blueliner, he's added 58 blocks, 24 hits and a plus-5 rating -- the latter stat is impressive given the Red Wings' minus-37 goal differential as a team.

The Connecticut native is up to a career-high nine tallies, 14 points, 48 shots on net, 60 hits and 19 PIM through 33 contests.

Drops result in shootout Greiss allowed two goals on 31 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.
Impact Greiss couldn't make a pair of one-goal leads stick in regulation, and he allowed both Ryan Johansen and Roman Josi to tally in the shootout.
