Tyler Motte & Derek Lalonde Media Availability | Detroit Red Wings Tyler Motte & Derek Lalonde Media Availability | Nov. 4, 2024
Available if needed Motte (upper body) is an option against the Blackhawks on Wednesday but may serve as a healthy scratch, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Impact Motte failed to register a point in his first four appearances this season, so it shouldn't be a shock that he won't immediately re-claim a spot in the lineup now that his upper-body injury is behind him. If he does break into the lineup, it will likely come at the expense of Joe Veleno, Christian Fischer or Michael Rasmussen.

Skating as an extra Motte (upper body) returned to practice though he's unlikely to return to the lineup Saturday against Buffalo, Sam Stockton of The Hockey News reports.
Impact It was previously reported that Motte would have a chance to return Saturday, though it appears unlikely as the 29-year-old forward skated as an extra in morning practice. Motte, who's missed the Red Wings' last six games, has yet to record a point in four contests this season.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Could play Saturday Motte (upper body) could return to the lineup as early as Saturday versus Buffalo, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Coach Derek Lalonde said Thursday that Motte was close to returning to action. Motte has missed the last six games and has yet to pick up a point in four games this season.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Wednesday Motte (upper body) won't be in the lineup Wednesday versus the Jets, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Impact Despite participating in Tuesday's practice, Motte will miss his sixth straight game. Still, he is progressing and could return to a bottom-six role soon. Motte hasn't contributed a point in four appearances this season, but he has collected eight shots on goal, six hits and two blocked shots.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Unavailable Sunday Motte (upper body) won't play Sunday versus Edmonton.
Impact Motte will miss his fifth straight game, and it remains unclear when he will be ready to return. He hasn't earned a point in four appearances this season, but he has chipped in eight shots on net, six hits and two blocked shots.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Remains sidelined Motte (upper body) won't play Saturday against the Sabres, per Red Wings radio broadcaster Ken Kal.
Impact It'll be the fourth game Motte's missed since suffering the injury on Oct. 17 against the Rangers. The 29-year-old Motte has yet to log a point with Detroit after tallying six goals and nine points with Tampa Bay last season.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Skates after practice Friday Motte (upper body) skated after practice Friday, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.
Impact Motte has missed the last three games after suffering the injury Oct. 17 versus the Rangers. Motte has yet to pick up a point in four games. He is questionable for Saturday's game in Buffalo.
OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Out Thursday Motte (upper body) will miss Thursday's game against New Jersey, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.
Impact Detroit is also missing J.T. Compher due to an illness, so the Red Wings will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen, including blueliner Olli Maatta, who was a healthy scratch Tuesday. For Motte, this is his third straight game on the shelf. He has no points, no shots, six hits and two blocks in four appearances in 2024-25. Motte will likely serve on the fourth line once he's healthy.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Unavailable Tuesday Motte (upper body) won't play Tuesday against the Islanders, per the NHL media site.
Impact Motte will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be available to return. He has been held off the scoresheet in four outings this campaign but has contributed eight shots on goal and six hits.
OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Saturday Motte (upper body) won't play Saturday against Nashville, per the NHL media site.
Impact Motte will miss at least one contest, though it could be more depending on how his evaluation goes. He hasn't earned a point in four appearances this season while posting eight shots on goal and six hits.
OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers upper body injury Motte is being evaluated for an upper-body injury suffered Thursday against the Rangers, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Motte should be considered day-to-day at this time and his status for Saturday's tilt in Nashville is up in the air. The fourth-line winger has yet to hit the scoresheet in four games this season, but he has managed eight shots on goal.
OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
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.

Heading to Motor City Motte signed a one-year, $800,000 contract with the Red Wings on Tuesday.
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.

Good to go for Game 1 Motte (lower body) will suit up for Sunday's opening game against the Panthers, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.
Impact Motte was listed as a game-time call after missing Tampa's last three regular-season games, but he'll be good to go ahead of Sunday's playoff opener. Motte tallied six goals and nine points in 69 games this year. He'll rejoin the Lightning in a fourth-line role.
APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE
Game-time call Motte (lower body) will be a game-time decision Sunday against Florida in Game 1, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

May not play Sunday Motte (lower body) is questionable for Sunday's tilt in Florida, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.
Impact Motte missed the last three games of the regular season with the injury. He ended the season with six goals and nine points in 69 appearances. Look for Motte to play in a bottom-six role up front, once he returns to action.
APRIL 19 • ROTOWIRE
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.
APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE
Not skating yet Motte (lower body) didn't take part in the morning skate and isn't expected to play Monday against Buffalo, per Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida.
Impact Motte, who is considered day-to-day, is poised to miss his second straight contest. He has contributed six goals, nine points, 83 shots on net and 97 hits across 69 appearances this season. Motte's next chance to play will be Tampa Bay's regular-season finale against Toronto on Wednesday.

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.
