Edvinsson scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
Both points came in the first period as Detroit jumped out to a 3-1 lead, but it slipped away late. It was Edvinsson's first multi-point performance since Dec. 20, and while the 23-year-old blueliner isn't yet supplying consistent offense for the Wings, he's hardly been a disappointment. Over 52 games this season, Edvinsson's delivered eight goals, 20 points, 113 blocked shots, 68 hits, 67 PIM, 63 shots on net and a plus-8 rating.

Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Mixed results in loss
Rotowire
Edvinsson scored a goal, added four PIM and doled out two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Edvinsson's outing started poorly, as two of his miscues led to Carolina goals. He got the Red Wings on the board late in the second period, but his double-minor for high-sticking late in the third period essentially ended Detroit's chances at a comeback. The goal was his first point in two games since he returned from a lower-body injury that cost him seven contests. The 23-year-old blueliner has seven goals, 18 points, 60 shots on net, 65 PIM, 66 hits and 109 blocked shots over 50 appearances in his second full NHL campaign.

Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Removed from IR
Rotowire
Edvinsson (lower body) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Thursday's matchup with Ottawa, per the NHL media site.
Edvinsson looks set to return following a seven-game stint on injured reserve due to his lower-body injury. In 48 games this year, the 23-year-old blueliner notched six goals and 11 helpers and may be hard-pressed to get back over the 30-point threshold like last year.

Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Edvinsson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Across 48 appearances this year, Edvinsson has accumulated six goals, 11 assists, 104 blocked shots, 63 hits and 54 PIM while averaging 22:35 of ice time.

Rotowire
Edvinsson scored a goal on four shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
Edvinsson collected a loose puck after a failed clearance by goalie Dennis Hildeby.

The defenseman has earned two goals and five assists over 14 outings in a solid December. For the season, the 22-year-old is at five goals (two game-winners), 14 points, 48 shots on net, 71 blocked shots, 47 hits, 48 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 37 appearances.

Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Pots lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Edvinsson scored a goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
Edvinsson dealt with a lower-body injury that took him out of Wednesday's game versus the Flames, but he was able to avoid missing a full contest.

For the season, the defenseman is up to four goals, 10 points, 34 shots on net, 37 hits, 58 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 29 appearances. Edvinsson saw 21:38 of ice time Thursday, so it doesn't look like fantasy managers should be concerned about his health for now.

Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Snags helper in return
Rotowire
Edvinsson notched an assist in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning.
Edvinsson missed the previous three games due to an illness, but he was able to log 19:49 of ice time in his return. That's not quite his usual workload, but it's on the first half of a back-to-back, so the Red Wings may be playing it safe as he regains his strength. The helper snapped a five-game point drought for the defenseman. He's at seven points, 26 shots on net, 26 hits, 48 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 22 appearances this season.

Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Sinks empty-netter Saturday
Rotowire
Edvinsson scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
Edvinsson picked up his first point of the campaign to give the Red Wings some breathing room late in the third period. He's added four shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and four PIM over two contests. Edvinsson is playing on the second pairing at even strength but isn't getting much power-play time, which could limit his offense in the event Axel Sandin-Pellikka stays on the NHL roster all year. Nonetheless, Edvinsson offers some upside as an all-around defender for fantasy purposes.
