Red Wings' Jeff Petry: Nabs assist in overtime win
Rotowire
Petry logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
Petry has a pair of helpers over his last six outings, accounting for all of his offense this season. The 36-year-old defenseman isn't a lock for the Red Wings' lineup each game, but he appears to have a bit more job security than Justin Holl or Albert Johansson. Petry has added 14 hits, 21 blocked shots, six shots on net and a minus-2 rating across 11 appearances.

Red Wings' Jeff Petry: Records first helper
Rotowire
Petry posted an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.
The helper was Petry's first point in six outings this season. He also missed three games due to an upper-body injury early on. At age 36, Petry does not see power-play time when everyone is healthy and is averaging a career-low 17:02 per game. He's blocked 11 shots and added seven hits, but his scoring is unlikely to be consistent, so he's a risky option at best in fantasy.

Red Wings' Jeff Petry: Absent from practice
Rotowire
Petry (upper body) was not on the ice for Friday's practice session, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Petry -- who was forced to leave Thursday's clash with Pittsburgh early -- should probably be considered questionable, at best, to feature against the Predators on Saturday. If the veteran blueliner is ruled out, Erik Gustafsson figures to see the biggest uptick in ice time, while Albert Johansson could make his NHL debut.

Rotowire
Petry recorded an assist and blocked a shot in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals.

Petry finished with one shot, three hits, one blocked shot and an even rating in 19:56 of ice time. This was only the second point for Petry in March. While he still plays top-four minutes for the Red Wings, the 36-year-old cannot be relied upon for producing points at this stage of his career.

Red Wings' Jeff Petry: Manages helper in loss
Rotowire
Petry recorded an assist in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
This was the first point in eight games for Petry, who has struggled with a minus-9 rating over that span. He's been physical with 18 hits and 23 blocked shots amid the slump, but the Wings need more out of pretty much everyone, as they are 2-10-0 over their last 12 games. For the season, Petry has two goals, 17 assists, 112 hits and 114 blocked shots in 59 games, which aren't numbers that jump off the page.

Red Wings' Jeff Petry: Shot attempt leads to assist
Rotowire
Petry earned a secondary assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.
Petry fired the puck through heavy traffic, and a fortuitous deflection off teammate J.T. Compher culminated in a Lucas Raymond tally at the doorstep. Not every helper will be pretty, but it all looks the same in the box score, as Petry is up to 14 assists and 16 total points through 46 games. The veteran defenseman continues to work on the second defensive pair, albeit while lacking opportunities on the power play.

Red Wings' Jeff Petry: Adds helper in OT win
Rotowire
Petry delivered an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
Petry provided a no-frills pass in the defensive zone, spurring forwards David Perron and Lucas Raymond, with the latter deking goalie Casey DeSmith at the doorstep to open the scoring. At 36 years old, Petry is averaging a career-low 18:39 of ice time in his debut season with the Red Wings. He's posted two goals, 13 assists, 56 hits and 77 blocked shots through 42 games, which probably isn't enough to put him on the fantasy radar outside of deep leagues.

Red Wings' Jeff Petry: Picks up two apples
Rotowire
Petry registered two assists to complement a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Kings.
This was one of Petry's best performances since joining the Red Wings ahead of this season. The 36-year-old veteran is averaging a career low in ice time (18:26), and it's an especially stark contrast to the 22:21 of rink run the defenseman saw with the Penguins last year. Petry has two goals, 11 assists and a plus-4 rating through 33 games; he's occasionally been thrust into power-play action but is still looking for his first man-advantage point donning the Winged Wheel.

Red Wings' Jeff Petry: Lights lamp Thursday
Rotowire
Petry scored a goal on three shots, logged three hits and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.
Petry had gone three games without a point while missing two contests -- one as a scratch and the other due to injury -- in that span. The 36-year-old played Thursday in a seven-defensemen lineup with Andrew Copp (lower body) out. Petry, Olli Maatta and Justin Holl are the blueliners the Red Wings have most frequently cycled out of the lineup. Petry has two goals, nine assists, 37 shots on net, 40 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating and offers the most fantasy upside of the three part-timers.

Red Wings' Jeff Petry: Sets up late-game equalizer
Rotowire
Petry delivered an assist in Friday's 7-6 shootout win over the Flyers.
The Red Wings permitted five straight goals between the second and third periods, but Petry did his part to force overtime. He dumped the puck off to Dylan Larkin with the Detroit captain scoring a seemingly impossible goal from behind the net. Petry is averaging a career-low 18:37 of ice time, and he may end up disappointing fantasy managers who recall his four consecutive seasons with at least 40 points from 2017-18 to 2020-21. He only has one goal and 10 points over 26 contests this campaign.
