Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Pots empty-netter Wednesday
Rotowire
Copp scored an empty-netter with 2:13 left in the third period in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Copp scored his fifth goal of the season in the dying stages of the contest, and he took advantage of the empty goal to fire the puck home from behind the blue line. Copp has failed to record a goal or assist in seven of his 12 appearances this season, however, so even though he might get on the scoresheet from time to time, he doesn't offer enough production on a game-to-game basis to be worthy of rostering in most fantasy formats.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Collects assist Thursday
Rotowire
Copp posted an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.
Copp's helper was his first of the year, to go with three goals over seven appearances. The 30-year-old has mainly played on the third line with minimal power-play time. He's added nine shots on net, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. Copp could be helpful in deeper formats that focus on scoring, but he doesn't add much outside of that.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Battling flu bug
Rotowire
Copp missed practice Friday with the flu, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Copp hasn't been ruled out versus the Predators on Saturday but should probably still be considered questionable. Without the veteran center available for practice, the team recalled Marco Kasper from AHL Grand Rapids on Friday and could deploy him versus Nashville if needed. For his part, Copp hasn't really found his stride this season with just one point in four appearances, a pace that would have him barely reaching the 20-point mark this year.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Adds insurance tally in win
Rotowire
Copp scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
Copp doubled the Red Wings' lead to 2-0 in the third period. The 30-year-old has opened 2024-25 as Detroit's third-line center, recording four shots on goal, two blocks and two PIM over two contests. He has topped the 30-point mark in four straight campaigns, but he's not currently a part of the Red Wings' power-play mix, so he may have trouble getting to that mark this season.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Game-time decision
Rotowire
Copp (face) will be a game-time call for Monday's clash with the Canadiens.
Copp will look to return from a two-game absence after suffering a broken cheekbone. Prior to getting hurt, the 29-year-old center was struggling offensively with just one point in his last eight appearances. As such, Copp shouldn't be expected to offer much fantasy value over the Red Wings' last two contests if he is able to play.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Suffers broken cheekbone
Rotowire

Copp will go for imaging to confirm the extent of the damage.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Contributes heavily in win
Rotowire
Copp registered two goals and four blocked shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.
This was arguably the best performance from Copp all season. He did a remarkable job of controlling the puck in the attacking zone, creating second chances with his shot, and his defensive play was on point, too, thanks to the season high in blocked shots. Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin returned from a lower-body injury Thursday, which resulted in Copp shifting back to a more natural spot on the third line. The Michigan native has 12 goals, 20 assists and a plus-6 rating through 69 contests.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Two helpers in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Copp picked up two assists in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
It's the 29-year-old center's first multi-point performance since Nov. 29. Copp led all Detroit forwards in even-strength ice time during the afternoon contest at 17:16, but his third-line assignment typically doesn't afford him that kind of workload. Over the course of his current 18-game goal drought, he's managed to produce just six assists, but he is up to 30 points (10 goals, 20 helpers) on the season -- the fourth straight season he's reached that mark.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Back in assist column
Rotowire
Copp surfaced with an assist in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Flames.
The helper is nice and all, but this was Copp's first point in five games, and the disconcerting trend is that he hasn't seen meaningful action on the power play since mid-December. Patrick Kane is in town, and the Wings are flush with capable power-play producers between all four lines, so Copp will need to step up in 5-on-5 situations in order to be worth the roster spot in shallow leagues. The 29-year-old pivot has 10 goals, 15 assists and a plus-3 rating through 53 contests.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Adds apple in OT victory
Rotowire
Copp crafted an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.
Copp is riding a five-game point streak comprised of three goals and a pair of helpers. The Michigan native has more offensive firepower than your traditional third-line pivot, and he doesn't seem affected by the fact that he's starting his shifts in the offensive zone just 34.8 percent of the time. With eight goals and 14 assists through 43 games, Copp remains a serviceable fantasy option in some of the deeper leagues.

Rotowire
Copp scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Copp struck with 1:40 left in the third period to break a 2-2 deadlock. The 29-year-old center is rolling with three goals and an assist during his four-game point streak after missing one contest with a lower-body injury. For the season, Copp has 21 points, 73 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 42 appearances, putting him on a pace similar to the one that saw him produce 42 points in 2022-23 but well short of his career-best 53 points in 2021-22.
