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: 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 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.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Copp is battling a lower-body injury and is questionable for Thursday's game against LA, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Flashes two-way game
Rotowire
Copp recorded an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Lightning.
Copp plays in all situations, which helps explain why he recorded 20:16 of ice time in his team's home opener. During the 2022-23 campaign, Copp's first with the Red Wings, he stacked nine goals against a career-high 33 assists while playing all 82 games. The Red Wings retooled half of their roster compared to last year, but Copp seems to be doing all he can to earn his keep within the top-six group of forwards.
