J.T. Compher’s versatility, secondary scoring proving vital for Red Wings

DETROIT, MI – J.T. Compher has provided the Detroit Red Wings the secondary scoring and versatility they sought when they made him their most significant offseason free-agent signing.

Compher has 12 points (three goals, nine assists) in the past 10 games and ranks third overall in scoring with 16 points, behind Alex DeBrincat (20) and Dylan Larkin (19).

He has solidified the second-line center spot, been an effective bumper on the second power-play unit, and their leading forward on the penalty kill by ice time. He is their only forward averaging more than two minutes a game on both specialty teams.
