Red Wings' Marco Kasper: Buries goal Friday
Rotowire
Kasper scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Hurricanes.

This was Kasper's sixth goal in his last 11 games, a span in which he's added two assists, 21 shots, 27 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating. He started the year as a winger, but he's been centering the second line since Andrew Copp (pectoral) was ruled out for the season.

Red Wings' Marco Kasper: Grabs goal in win
Rotowire
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.

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.

Rotowire
Kasper scored the opening goal, dished an assist and took three shots on net in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win against the Ducks.

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.

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.
