Compher suffered an upper-body injury early in Saturday's game vs. the Sharks. He is expected to miss at least one month, with leaves the Avalanche without Nathan MacKinnon and Compher down the middle. With both of them out, Mikko Rantanen moved to centre in Monday's practice with Logan O'Connor moving up to RW1.
Raymond missed Wednesday's practice and his status for Thursday's game vs. the Capitals is uncertain. Monitor his availability when the Red Wings hit the ice for warmups at 7:00 PM ET.
Kane has missed the last four games in COVID-19 protocol but could play Monday vs. the Senators. Being activated doesn't guarantee he will play, Brandon Saad sat out after being activated by the Blues over the weekend, so we'll provide another update later.
Appleton was moved to IR on Saturday and head coach Dave Hakstol said he is out indefinitely on Sunday. Appleton suffered a lower-body injury vs. the Canadiens last Tuesday and his injury opens up a roster spot for Nathan Bastian to play full-time moving forward.
