Edvinsson notched an assist and blocked four shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.
Edvinsson has three points over seven contests this season. He's exceeded 20 minutes of ice time in four straight games and continues to hold down a top-four role, though he isn't seeing power-play time. The 21-year-old defenseman has added six shots on net, six hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating, so he'll carry a little extra value in formats that reward his defensive efforts.

Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Nabs assist
Rotowire
Edvinsson recorded an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
The helper was Edvinsson's first point through two games this season. He's added four shots on net and a minus-1 rating while maintaining a spot on the second pairing. The 21-year-old defenseman looks poised to be in the NHL full time this season, but his offensive upside will be limited if he can't capture a spot on the power play.
Edvinsson was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday.
Edvinsson had a goal and an assist in 16 contests with Detroit this season. He also has recorded eight goals and 29 points in 52 games with Grand Rapids. The Red Wings' campaign is over, but he should be a serious contender for a roster spot with the big club during training camp. The Red Wings took him No. 6 overall in the 2021 NHL Draft.

Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Named to AHL All-Star team
Rotowire
Edvinsson will represent the Griffins for the 2024 AHL All-Star Classic in San Jose on Feb 4-5, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Edvinsson is a big-time prospect for the Wings having been drafted by the Original Six club with the sixth overall pick in 2021. The 6-foot-6, 209-pound blueliner has 11 career NHL appearances under his belt since debuting last year, supplying two goals and an assist over that span. For now, Edvinsson seems better off in the minor league where he can log heavy minutes and continue to sharpen his skills in the professional ranks, albeit in a lower-pressure setting. He's fashioned 20 points (six goals, 14 assists) through 30 games with the Griffins in 2023-24.
