Latest news

  • Head coach Todd McLellan said Thursday that he expects Kasper (upper body) to return at some point during the Red Wings' upcoming four-game road trip, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

    Kasper has been on injured reserve due to his upper-body injury since early October, but he resumed skating in a non-contact jersey last week. While he'll remain sidelined for Thursday's game against the Golden Knights, he'll likely be able to return at some point during the Red Wings' road trip that begins Saturday in Colorado and concludes Nov. 14 in Tampa Bay.

  • Head coach Todd McLellan said Friday that Kasper (upper body) is still 10 days to two weeks away from returning to game action, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

    Kasper skated in a non-contact jersey during Friday's practice session. However, he still needs more time to recover from an upper-body injury. The 22-year-old is still week-to-week and has been on injured reserve since Oct. 6. He has missed the last 12 games.

  • Kasper (upper body) has been given a week-to-week timetable for return.

    Head coach Todd McLellan confirmed that Kasper will miss at least a week after being placed on injured reserve. The 22-year-old center played in Detroit's Opening Night matchup against the Rangers, but wasn't able to suit up against Winnipeg on Sunday. He's coming off a sophomore slump offensively, where he posted nine goals and 19 points across 81 regular-season games in 2025-26. However, Kasper does a lot of work without the puck for the Red Wings, who will hope to have him back on the earlier side of his week-to-week timeline for return. In his absence, Nate Danielson will likely be a regular contributor up the center of the ice.

  • Kasper (upper body) has been designated for injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

    Kasper was sidelined against the Jets on Sunday and will now miss additional games due to his upper-body problem. Fortunately for the Wings, their center depth will still get a boost with the return of Dylan Larkin (upper body). In 81 regular-season games last year, Kasper managed just 19 points, well below the 37 points he put up as a rookie the year before.

  • Kasper (upper body) won't play Sunday against Winnipeg, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Kasper didn't participate in Saturday's practice and is still being evaluated. He had four shots on goal and five PIM over 10:50 of ice time against the Rangers on Friday. However, he wasn't injured in his second-period fight with Rangers defenseman Sean Durzi. Carter Mazur will probably play against the Jets on Sunday because of Kasper's absence.

  • Kasper pocketed two assists in Saturday's 4-2 preseason loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Both helpers came in the third period as Kasper tried to spark a comeback from a 3-0 deficit. The 22-year-old center saw his numbers take a significant step backward in the 2025-26 regular season. He managed just nine goals and 19 points in 81 games. Still, Kasper could land a top-six role this campaign if Dylan Larkin (upper body) is eventually traded.
