Copp was limited to only 10:20 time-on-ice in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild and did not play in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Anaheim Ducks due to an undisclosed injury. The 30-year-old Copp is averaging 14:42 time-on-ice, recording 23 points (10G / 13A) in 56 games this season. In a corresponding move, the Red Wings have recalled Sheldon Dries from the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL).
Compher has not played since January 25th, missing five straight games, but will likely return to the lineup on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 29-year-old Compher recorded an assist in his most recent outing, snapping a six-game pointless skid. He has 21 points (6G / 15A) in 48 games this season but has only recorded two (1G / 1A) in his last 12.
An incredible story of perseverance, Shine made his NHL debut at age 31 two weeks ago, scoring one point (0G / 1A) in four games, after spending the last nine seasons with the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL). He has 11 goals and 21 assists in 40 AHL games this season.
The 31-year-old rookie re-enters Detroit's lineup after sitting out Sunday's game in Vancouver. Christian Fischer will sit in his place.
The Red Wings have received stellar goaltending from Talbot and Alex Lyon during their current six-game winning streak, but the club will turn to Talbot to tend the twine on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. Talbot was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 33 of 34 shots (.971 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Calgary Flames. The 37-year-old netminder has an outstanding .957 SV% in his last four games (4-0-0). The Red Wings enter Tuesday's contest as slight -100 road underdogs against a Kraken team coming off a 3-2 loss to the Flames.
The Ducks have won four of their last five (4-1-0) and will turn to Gibson between the pipes on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. Gibson has a 2.78 GAA and .912 SV% in 22 appearances this season (8-9-2). The 31-year-old Gibson has played well lately, posting a .939 SV% in his last four outings (1-2-0). The Ducks enter Tuesday's contest as +197 home underdogs against a Stars team riding a five-game winning streak.
Gibson will make his 21st start of the season when the Ducks visit the Flames on Thursday. He stopped 9 of the 10 shots he faced in Saturday's game against the Predators before exiting the game due to an upper-body injury. Gibson owns an 8-8-2 record and a .912 SV% on the season. He and the Ducks enter action on Thursday at +160 on the money line.
Compher did not play on Monday due to an upper-body injury but is travelling with the team, indicating he will likely play on the Red Wings' upcoming four-game road trip. The 29-year-old Compher recorded an assist in his most recent outing, snapping a six-game pointless skid. He has 21 points (6G / 15A) in 48 games this season but has only recorded two (1G / 1A) in his last 12.
Kane has missed the last three games due to an upper-body injury but was back at practice on Wednesday. Before his injury, the 36-year-old Kane has been held off the scoresheet in two straight games after a stretch where he tallied 16 points (6G / 10A) in 10 games.

He has 11 goals and 21 assists in 40 AHL games this season. Shine will draw in for Vladimir Tarasenko, who is out with an illness.
