Red Wings' J.T. Compher: Scores power-play goal in loss
Rotowire
Compher notched a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.

Compher also set up Moritz Seider's second-period goal, meaning the center was directly involved in both of his team's goals in a game where the Red Wings looked outmatched. This was Compher's first multi-point game of the season and is up to three points over his last three outings.

Red Wings' J.T. Compher: Tips home winner Saturday
Rotowire
Compher scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
After a scoreless first period, Compher got his stick on a Moritz Seider shot from the blue line early in the second and tipped it past Juuse Saros, giving Cam Talbot all the support he would need. Compher scored a career-high 19 goals last season, and the 29-year-old's top-six role and spot on Detroit's top power-play unit could allow him to reach the 20-goal plateau for the first time in 2024-25.

Red Wings' J.T. Compher: Snags helper
Rotowire
Compher recorded an assist in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Compher's secondary assist in the third period was clutch -- it helped spark a mini rally and net the Wings a point with the game going into overtime. While Compher's 17 goals are nothing to write home about, he's been worth a roster spot in plenty of fantasy leagues thanks to his deft passing skills which have led to 27 helpers through 74 games. Having inked a five-year, $25.5 million contract with the Wings last summer -- which includes a modified no-trade clause throughout the whole term -- it's clear that this team is committed to bringing out the best in Compher as a top-six contributor.

Rotowire
Compher recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
Compher, who now has 22 assists and 38 total points through 62 games, set up a go-ahead goal to Patrick Kane in the second period by diving toward the puck and narrowly missing defenders with his pass.

Red Wings' J.T. Compher: Nets power-play marker
Rotowire
Compher scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM and blocked three shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

He's unlikely to challenge his career high of 52 points from last season, but he could push for his first 20-goal campaign over the remainder of 2023-24.

Red Wings' J.T. Compher: Adds two points in rout
Rotowire
Compher supplied a shorthanded goal, an assist and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Capitals.
Winners of six consecutive contests, Detroit is clicking on all cylinders, with Compher doing his part by recording his first multi-point game in three months against Washington. The 28-year-old is up to 15 goals, 21 assists and a plus-6 rating to remain relevant in deep leagues, though it's going to be tough for Compher to sustain a gaudy (20.5) shooting percentage.

Red Wings' J.T. Compher: Finds twine in rout
Rotowire
Compher found the back of the net in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Flames.
The Wings created a turnover in the offensive zone and it resulted in Compher's 13th goal of the season. He's been on a tear lately, with four goals and four assists over the last 10 games. With 32 points -- including seven power-play points -- through 49 contests, Compher has been a solid complementary contributor for fantasy managers, but it may be tough for him to sustain a 20.0 shooting percentage.
