Ben Chiarot - Quiet on offenseChiarot's scoring drought reached 14 games in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
ImpactChiarot is a shutdown defenseman in the Red Wings' top four, but this is a brutal slump even by his standards. He's reached the 20-point mark in two of the last three years and missed by one point in the other campaign in that span. He's opened 2024-25 with two assists, 22 shots on net, 21 PIM, 25 hits, 41 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 18 appearances. Chiarot's not in any obvious danger of being scratched, but he won't be much of a factor in fantasy as long as his offense is cold.

Erik Gustafsson - Ends slump with power-play helperGustafsson recorded a power-play assist and two PIM in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
ImpactGustafsson put an 11-game slump to rest when he set up Marco Kasper's first-period tally. Gustafsson has played in a majority of games, though he was scratched twice during his dry spell and is far from a lock to play every contest. He has just three helpers with 22 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 14 outings. Gustafsson's main value is in power-play production -- he's earned all of his assists with the man advantage -- but he's been limited to the second unit for the better part of the last month, which reduces his opportunities to make an impact.

Simon Edvinsson - Picks up helper in returnEdvinsson recorded an assist and two PIM over 23:14 of ice time in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
ImpactEdvinsson missed one game due to a lower-body injury but didn't look any worse for wear in his return. He set up Dylan Larkin's first-period tally. Edvinsson has done fairly well for a 21-year-old defenseman, earning two goals, five assists, 23 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 17 appearances. He continues to see top-four minutes at even strength, averaging 20:45 of ice time, but he's not a regular part of the power-play mix.

Givani Smith - No clear path to playing timeSmith has been scratched for six of the Sharks' first eight games in November after sitting out Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.
ImpactThe winger has just four appearances this season, earning no points with seven hits, 10 PIM, three blocked shots, two shots on goal and a minus-1 rating. Smith will likely have to wait for injuries to pop up before he'd have a chance at a steady spot in the lineup, and even then it's not a guarantee. The 26-year-old plays on the fourth line when he draws in, and his career high of seven points gives him minimal upside for any fantasy format.
