Kasper returns following a one-game absence due to his illness. Prior to being sidelined, the 20-year-old center was stuck in a five-game pointless streak in addition to an 11-game goal drought. Since Kasper will be back in action, Jonatan Berggren figures to serve as a healthy scratch Wednesday.

Red Wings' Marco Kasper: Adds assist in loss
Rotowire
Kasper notched an assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Devils.
Kasper ended a four-game slump with the helper. The 20-year-old continues to see regular usage in a middle-six role and on the second power-play unit, giving him some appeal in redraft formats as well as dynasty. Kasper is up to five points, 31 shots on net, 28 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 19 appearances, but he could grow into better production over the course of 2024-25.

Rotowire
Kasper scored a power-play goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Kasper is up to four points in the season, though, to be fair, he doesn't produce enough game-to-game to be worthy of rostering in most formats. That said, he's been trending in the right direction as a power-play threat. He has two goals and three points over his past three appearances -- all with the man advantage.
