Red Wings' John Gibson: Drawing second consecutive start
Rotowire
Gibson will defend the road crease against Vancouver on Monday, per NHL.com.
Gibson has picked up wins in each of his last two starts despite allowing a total of seven goals on 65 shots in those outings. The Canucks are scoring 2.86 goals per game this season, which ranks 22nd in the NHL.
Edvinsson logged two assists, three shots on goal, three hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
Edvinsson had one of his better all-around games of the season. He supplied helpers on goals by Andrew Copp and James van Riemsdyk during the second period, allowing the Red Wings to stay level at 3-3 heading into the final frame. Edvinsson has three assists over his last five games, and he's up to nine points, 32 shots on net, 34 hits, 54 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 26 appearances. While he has struggled offensively, the 22-year-old is playing a more physical game that could make him an option for deeper banger leagues.

Rotowire
Van Riemsdyk scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
Van Riemsdyk scored for the third game in a row and the fifth time in his last six outings. He has two even-strength tallies in that span while making the most of his time on the Red Wings' second power-play unit. The 36-year-old winger has seven points, 37 shots on net and a minus-8 rating across 23 appearances on the year.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Nets goal in win
Rotowire
Copp scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
Copp ended a 26-game goal drought with his tally at 5:10 of the second period. The 31-year-old hadn't gone more than five games without a point, providing a decent amount of depth scoring in a middle-six role. He's at two goals, 12 points, 35 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 17 hits and a minus-10 rating through 29 outings this season. He's still shooting just 5.7 percent, so there's some room for his offense to grow as the campaign progresses.

Red Wings' Emmitt Finnie: Strikes for power-play goal
Rotowire
Finnie scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
Finnie ended an eight-game goal drought with his marker in the first period. The 20-year-old slumped over the first half of November as well, but this time, he still managed four helpers even as he struggled to light the lamp. The rookie winger is up to six goals, 14 points (five on the power play), 50 shots on net, 56 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 29 appearances.

Red Wings' Patrick Kane: Comes through with game-winner
Rotowire
Kane scored the game-winning goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
Kane's tally with 2:29 left in the third period ended up deciding the game. He's gotten on the scoresheet in seven of his last eight outings, earning two goals and eight assists in that span. The 37-year-old is up to five goals, 19 points, 58 shots on net and a minus-8 rating through 20 appearances in a middle-six role. Kane won't be the Red Wings' top scorer, but he should continue to provide effective depth-scoring contributions.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Allows three goals in win
Rotowire
Gibson stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
It was a back-and-forth game, and Patrick Kane's tally late in the third period was what made Gibson a winner. While he's allowed 22 goals over his last five games, Gibson has won two straight starts. He has alternated starts over the past week-plus with Cam Talbot, which is likely the best arrangement for both of them to stay productive. Gibson is 6-7-1 with a 3.58 GAA and an .869 save percentage over 15 starts this season. If the goaltending pattern holds, Talbot would play Monday in Vancouver while Gibson would get the nod Wednesday in Calgary in the first half of a back-to-back.
Red Wings' Erik Gustafsson: Three helpers in AHL win
Rotowire
Gustafsson notched three assists in AHL Grand Rapids' 3-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.
Gustafsson has four assists over three games since he returned to the Griffins after a brief NHL stint. The defenseman has stayed confident in the AHL this year, earning 12 helpers and a plus-11 rating over 13 appearances. If he gets back to Detroit, he'll likely be a rotational depth option on the third pairing.
Gibson will protect the road goal versus the Kraken on Saturday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Gibson will make his third start in the last five games. The 32-year-old has given up 19 goals over his last four outings, going 1-2-1 in that span. The Kraken are a low-scoring foe, and they've scored just 12 goals in their last six games.

Red Wings' Jacob Bernard-Docker: Lacking offense in part-time role
Rotowire
Bernard-Docker's point drought is up to 10 games after he was held scoreless in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Bernard-Docker has been scratched 12 times during his drought, though he has played in seven of the last 12 contests. The 25-year-old is competing with Travis Hamonic for the last spot on the blue line, leading to minimal fantasy appeal for both players. Bernard-Docker is at one assist, 20 shots on net, 15 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 15 appearances this season.

Red Wings' Moritz Seider: Posts pair of helpers
Rotowire
Seider notched two assists, four blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Seider has five points, including a pair of power-play helpers, over two games in December. He had the same number of points over his last seven games in November. The 24-year-old has been fairly productive all season, but he's heating up currently. The German blueliner has four goals, 21 points (10 on the power play), 68 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 49 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 28 appearances in what's shaping up as a career year on offense.

Red Wings' Andrew Copp: Produces two helpers
Rotowire
Copp logged two assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Copp snapped a four-game point drought with the effort. He has six helpers over his last 14 contests, but he hasn't scored since Oct. 11 versus the Maple Leafs. The 31-year-old is up to 11 points, 32 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 17 hits and a minus-12 rating over 28 appearances, primarily in a middle-six role this season. Without more goals, it's tough to consider Copp for fantasy purposes.

Red Wings' James van Riemsdyk: Deposits another goal
Rotowire
Van Riemsdyk scored a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Van Riemsdyk has scored four times over his last five games, with three of those goals coming on the power play. He's up to five goals, one helper, 33 shots on net and a minus-9 rating over 22 appearances. In many stops later in his career, he's been utilized as a power-play specialist and a bottom-six option at even strength, and it appears the Red Wings have opted to take a similar approach recently.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Kane recorded an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Kane has posted multi-point performances in back-to-back games for the first time this season, and the 37-year-old veteran remains productive while holding a steady top-six role for the Red Wings. Kane has cracked the scoresheet in six of his last seven appearances, generating nine points (one goal, eight assists) over that stretch.
