Dickinson (shoulder) will be a game-time decision against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, according to Scott Powers of The Athletic.

Dickinson has missed the last six games since he was hurt in Winnipeg on Oct. 30. The 30-year-old has one goal and two assists in eight games this season.

Nazar (abdomen) is questionable to face the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

Nazar has been trying to work his way back from his two-game absence but may be sidelined for a third. The young center is currently stuck in a five-game pointless streak during which he's recorded 13 shots, seven blocks and one hit while averaging 17:24 of ice time. Once given the all-clear, Nazar should be in the mix for a top-six role, which would likely drop Ryan Greene back down the lineup.

Rasmussen scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.

Rasmussen was a healthy scratch in the Red Wings' previous game Sunday versus the Blackhawks after going without a point in five straight contests. He's now gotten on the scoresheet in the game after each of his two scratches this season. The 26-year-old has four points, 15 shots on net, 13 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 15 appearances. His inconsistent playing time further lowers his already-minimal fantasy appeal.

Larkin scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.

Larkin picked up his first multi-point effort since Oct. 28 versus the Blues. The 29-year-old center got involved late, providing an insurance goal at 5:06 of the third period before setting up Alex DeBrincat's empty-netter later in the frame. Larkin is up to 10 goals, 11 helpers, 55 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 17 appearances, but he's been a little quieter with just four points over five outings in November.

Rossi (lower body) was labeled week-to-week by head coach John Hynes on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Rossi's absence will create a huge hole down the middle of the Wild's lineup. Ryan Hartman and Joel Eriksson Ek figure to take on top-six roles while Danila Yurov could see a significant uptick in opportunities. The 24-year-old Rossi has managed just four goals in 17 outings, which would see him miss the 20-goal threshold even without an injury absence.

Olivier scored two goals and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.

Olivier cracked the scoresheet after being held without a point across his previous six games, and the last time he did so, he notched four points in a 6-3 victory over the Maple Leafs on Oct. 29. Olivier has proven he can produce when given enough playing time, but his bottom-six role, and the inconsistencies he's had on a game-to-game basis, have limited his upside. He's not a player worth targeting in most formats due to the inconsistency of his production.

Coyle notched one goal and two assists in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.

Coyle ended a five-game pointless streak in style by making his presence felt on three of the team's five goals. Coyle has two multi-point efforts over his last eight games and eight points (two goals, six assists) over that span, but he's also failed to crack the scoresheet five times during that same stretch. The lack of consistency, as well as his bottom-six role in the lineup, dampens his upside.

Savoie scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Savoie found the back of the net at the 8:09 mark of the second period with a tip-in, ending a six-game stretch in which he'd been unable to find the back of the net. Savoie has only two goals this season, but he should continue to have chances to produce as long as he skates alongside Connor McDavid on the first line. The 21-year-old Savoie has four points across his last eight games.

Draisaitl scored two goals on four shots in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Draisaitl snapped his three-game goal drought with two tallies, one in the second period and one in the third, but his efforts were not enough to spark a late Oilers comeback. Draisaitl is up to 12 goals and 20 points through 19 appearances on the season.

McDavid recorded two assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

McDavid didn't find the back of the net in this one, but he still helped out on two of the team's four goals. Aside from cracking the scoresheet in every one of his November appearances so far, tallying 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in seven games this month, McDavid is among the most productive players in the league once again. His 27 points rank second in the league, only behind Nathan MacKinnon's 33.
