Kasper netted a goal and took four shots on net in Sunday's 3-0 win against the Golden Knights.
Kasper's tally was the final goal of the game for Detroit. The eighth overall selection from the 2022 NHL Entry Draft is heating up again with four points in his last three games. Overall, Kasper is up to 13 goals, 27 points and 110 shots on net in 62 games this season. He continues to center the second line for Detroit but has not yet claimed consistent power-play time. Over time, the 20-year-old should be asked to have a larger role in all situations but is making the most of his current opportunities. He has a bit of value in deeper fantasy leagues ahead of the playoffs.

Rotowire
Kasper scored two goals and added an assist in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Sabres.
The 20-year-old center snapped a six-game point drought when he got Detroit on the board midway through the first period, and Kasper then potted his second goal of the night in the third as the Wings pulled away. While his recent skid was understandable as he nears the end of his first NHL season, Kasper has mostly been a consistent contributor since moving into a more prominent role in January. Over his last 25 games, he's delivered 10 goals and 19 points with 56 hits, 52 shots on net and a plus-4 rating.

Rotowire
Kasper notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Wild.
Kasper has three points, seven shots and eight hits over three contests since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. The 20-year-old was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids during the break, but that was purely a paper move, as he didn't play with the Griffins. He's been a strong source of offense lately -- he's at 23 points this season, 16 of which he's earned over the last 18 games. He's also contributed 89 shots on net, 98 hits and a minus-7 rating through 53 appearances.

Overall, the 20-year-old Kasper has 10 goals, 22 points, 87 shots and 97 hits in 52 games this season. Detroit's move to send Kasper to AHL Grand Rapids over the 4 Nations Face-Off break seemed to pay off in terms of sparking his play at the NHL level. He's carved himself a role on the Red Wings' first line alongside Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond. Kasper has value in all fantasy formats and is a top name to target in deeper leagues.

Rotowire
Kasper notched an assist and five hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kraken.

Red Wings' Marco Kasper: First NHL game-winning goal
Rotowire
Kasper scored a goal Saturday in a 2-0 win over the Lightning.
It was his first NHL game-winning goal. Kaspar is strong on the puck and works hard, and he's put up eight points, including five goals, in his last nine games (15 shots). He's always projected more as a top-nine forward than a first-line winger where he's playing right now. Kaspar may help fantasy managers while he's surging.

Red Wings' Marco Kasper: Two more points Sunday
Rotowire
Kasper potted an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over Seattle.
Kasper scored the first of three goals that chased Philipp Grubauer from the contest early in the first period. Kasper has produced back-to-back multi-point efforts after being held off the scoresheet in 15 prior outings. The Austrian forward is currently skating alongside Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond, so Kasper could be a worthy pickup if he can maintain his top-line role. The 20-year-old Kasper is up to four goals and seven assists through 37 appearances in 2024-25.

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.

Red Wings' Marco Kasper: Scores PP goal Monday
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.
