Wedgewood turned aside 32 of 34 shots in regulation and overtime and three of four shootout attempts during Sunday's 3-2 win over the Wild.

The 33-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, and Wedgewood capped another strong performance with a big blocker save on Vladimir Tarasenko in the final round of the shootout. Wedgewood has won four straight outings, including one in relief of Mackenzie Blackwood, and he's allowed just five goals on 102 shots (.951 save percentage) during his win streak.

Wallstedt stopped 34 of 36 shots in regulation and overtime and two of four shootout attempts in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Colorado.

The young netminder came up with a number of big stops, but he couldn't deny Nathan MacKinnon in the fourth round of the shootout. Wallstedt has begun to find his form again while working as Filip Gustavsson's backup, allowing three goals or fewer in three of his last four starts dating back to Jan. 27. However, since the calendar flipped to 2026, Wallstedt has gone 3-4-2 in 10 outings with a 3.92 GAA and an .882 save percentage.

Brunet signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract extension with Boston on Monday.

It's a two-way contract for the 2026-27 season before becoming a one-way agreement for the 2027-28 season. Brunet has produced 11 goals and 28 points in 55 appearances for AHL Providence this campaign. He made his NHL debut with Boston in 2024-25, posting five blocked shots in 14:23 of ice time against New Jersey on April 15, 2025.

Shine scored a goal in Sunday's 3-0 win over New Jersey.

In his 14th career NHL game, Shine tallied his first goal to seal the deal for Detroit in Sunday's contest. The 32-year-old winger has scored 96 goals and recorded 221 points across 10 seasons with AHL Grand Rapids. He has scored 21 of those goals this season, proving that his first tally at the NHL level was no fluke. He'll likely stay up with the Wings until Dylan Larkin (leg) or David Perron (groin) are ready to return.

Kane dished out two assists and fired three shots on net in Sunday's 3-0 win over New Jersey.

Kane picked up a helper on each of Detroit's first two goals Sunday, including James van Riemsdyk's power-play tally in the second period. With the pair of apples, Kane is up to 27 assists, 36 points, 121 shots on net and 24 blocked shots across 49 games this season. Since the Olympic break, the 37-year-old winger has a goal, three assists and 15 shots on net across six games. When healthy, he's made a solid impact offensively with 0.73 points per game, which ranks fourth on the team. He should continue to put himself and others in good positions for scoring chances from the Red Wings' top line, giving him solid fantasy value across standard leagues.

Van Riemsdyk tallied a power-play goal and recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-0 win over New Jersey.

Van Riemsdyk's second-period tally ended his 12-game goal drought. With the two-point effort, he is up to 15 goals, 12 assists, 86 shots on net and 25 blocked shots across 55 games this season. The 17-year NHL veteran is eight goals away from the 350 in his career, which could be attainable this season if he stays involved from a bottom-six role down the stretch. The 36-year-old winger isn't the scorer he once was, but he can still provide solid streaming value in fantasy periodically.

Seider scored a goal, supplied two assists and fired five shots on net in Sunday's 3-0 win over New Jersey.

Seider netted Detroit's first goal of the contest in the opening period before he later recorded a helper in each of the final two frames. Sunday's effort was his second three-point outing of the campaign and brought him up to eight goals, 36 assists, 137 shots on net, 103 hits and 142 blocked shots over 64 games this season. With the Red Wings trending towards ending their playoff drought, Seider should continue to operate at the heart of the team and post elite category-coverage stats for fantasy purposes.

Markstrom turned aside 27 of 30 shots on goal in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Red Wings.

Markstrom fell to Detroit's steady stream of offense Sunday, as he allowed a goal in each period. With the loss, he now has a 19-15-1 record, a 3.05 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 36 outings this season. Sunday's defeat snapped the 36-year-old netminder's four-game win streak. With a 4-2-0 record, a 2.32 GAA and a .912 save percentage across six games since the Olympic break, Markstrom provides good value in fantasy in most league formats for the time being. His next opportunity to bounce back is Thursday against the Flames.

Talbot saved all 10 shots on goal he saw in Sunday's 3-0 shutout win over New Jersey.

Talbot entered Sunday's contest at the start of the third period when John Gibson (undisclosed) was removed for precautionary reasons. Talbot's effort down the stretch helped the Red Wings post their first combined shutout since the 2019-20 campaign. Across four appearances since the Olympic break, the 38-year-old netminder has allowed 10 goals on 90 shots (.889 save percentage), which makes him a serviceable fantasy option in deep leagues if Gibson is set to miss time.

St. Ivany (hand) was sent down to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on a conditioning loan Monday.

St. Ivany has been working with the team at practice of late, so his stint in the minors shouldn't come as a surprise. In 17 games this year, the 26-year-old blueliner has generated seven assists, 40 hits and 23 blocked shots while averaging 15:39 of ice time.
