Rotowire
DeBrincat tacked on an assist in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Red Wings' Alex DeBrincat: Records apple in Global Series loss
Rotowire
DeBrincat supplied an assist Friday in a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs as part of the Global Series in Sweden.
DeBrincat was moderately impactful during the two-game series in Sweden, adding a goal against his former team in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators on Thursday. He stretched his point streak to three games with the apple against the Leafs. Still, it shouldn't be lost on fantasy managers that DeBrincat will have gone a month without a multi-point game by the time the Red Wings play again, which isn't until Wednesday's clash with the Devils.

Red Wings' Alex DeBrincat: Heads to Detroit in sign-and-trade
Rotowire
Ottawa traded DeBrincat to Detroit on Sunday in exchange for Dominik Kubalik, Donovan Sebrango, a conditional 2024 first-round draft pick and a 2024 fourth-round draft pick. The Red Wings then signed DeBrincat to a four-year, $31.5 million contract extension.
DeBrincat spent one year with the Senators before hitting restricted free agency this offseason. After a 27-goal, 66-point campaign, he and Ottawa were too far apart on a deal, so he'll pack his bags for Detroit. The 25-year-old winger is among the league's best goal scorers; he's buried 100 goals in 216 games over the last three seasons. DeBrincat will fill a top-six role, likely on the top line alongside Dylan Larkin, with a spot on the top power-play unit.
