Red Wings' J.T. Compher: Posts assist in loss

Compher logged an assist in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Compher set up a Michael Rasmussen tally in the first period. The helper ended an eight-game slump for Compher, who has seen steady bottom-six minutes in December. He's at 12 points, 44 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 15 PIM, 14 hits and a minus-8 rating over 39 appearances this season. His offense is trending toward a significant drop for the third year in a row, so Compher doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.
