Finds twine vs. Florida Compher scored a goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Compher scored a goal for the third time over his last six appearances, and the 29-year-old veteran has cracked the scoresheet four times over that stretch. Even if Compher ends the season on a strong note, there's no question this has been a down year for him. He's up to 31 points in 70 contests so far, and unless he racks up three more points over the final weeks of the regular season, this will be his worst statistical output of the last four campaigns.

Nets goal Tuesday Compher scored a goal and took three shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Blues.

Impact Compher scored the opening goal of the contest in the third period, but the Red Wings were unable to hold on to their lead and ended up losing in overtime. Compher is not known for his fantasy contributions as a bottom-six forward, but he's notched four points (two goals, two assists) over his last four appearances. He's recorded nine points (three goals, six helpers) in 19 outings since the 4 Nations break.

Pair of points in loss Compher scored a power-play goal on three shots, added an assist and logged three hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact This was Compher's first multi-point effort since Feb. 27 versus the Blue Jackets. He had been limited to a single assist over his first 11 contests in March before leading the way in Tuesday's loss. The 29-year-old forward has had a mediocre season with just eight goals, 20 helpers, 85 shots on net, 54 blocked shots, 20 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 65 outings. He has not finished below 30 points in a full-length season since 2017-18.

Sends assist Sunday Compher notched an assist in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Compher ended a seven-game point drought when he helped out on an Albert Johansson tally in the second period. The 29-year-old Compher has been bumped down to the third line after Marco Kasper was moved from wing to center to play on the second line. For the season, Compher has 26 points, 78 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 61 appearances.

Three-game, four-point streak Compher scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday.

Impact His goal came on the power play. Compher is riding a three-game, four-point scoring streak (one goal, three assists). Overall, he has just seven goals, 18 assists and a paltry 66 shots in 53 contests. Bottom line that's simply not enough for a second-line NHL pivot. There are better options than Compher on the wire.

Helpers in consecutive contests Compher logged an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

Impact Compher has a helper in each of the last two games after coming up empty on offense in his first two contests back from an upper-body injury earlier in the month. The 29-year-old forward will get a chance to settle in on the second line now that Andrew Copp (pectoral) is officially out for the season. Compher has had some struggles this season with 23 points, 65 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 52 appearances. If the Red Wings opt to load up for a playoff run, they may look to improve their center depth, which could lead to Compher's role getting reduced again.

Set to return against Bolts Compher (upper body) looks poised to return to the lineup versus the Lightning on Saturday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact According to head coach Todd McLellan, he is still awaiting final medical clearance for Compher but is expecting the winger to be available Saturday. Assume he does return, the 29-year-old Compher figures to slot into a middle-six role and will no doubt be eager to end his seven-game goal drought during which he managed just one helper and 11 shots.
