Red Wings' Alex DeBrincat: Posts three helpers in OT loss
Rotowire
DeBrincat posted three assists and seven shots on goal in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
DeBrincat surprisingly has just one goal in the last 20 games, but it isn't for a lack of trying. Kitty has 55 shots on goal over that span, yet he's not getting any favorable bounces. With 24 goals and 39 assists through 79 games, DeBrincat is just three points shy of matching his 2022-23 campaign when he supplied 66 points in a full season with the Senators, but there's been a dip from a career-high 30 power-play points down to 18 in DeBrincat's first year as a Red Wing.

Red Wings' Alex DeBrincat: On par with career averages
Rotowire
DeBrincat tacked on an assist in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Flames.
Fantasy managers rooting for DeBrincat probably expected even more from Cat given the wealth of offense the Wings provided in this road contest. However, the bigger picture is that he's quietly averaging 0.85 points per game, which is right in line with his career average (0.83) between five years in Chicago, a single campaign representing Ottawa, and his 54-games-and-counting for Detroit. DeBrincat is currently on the second line and No. 2 power-play unit, with 16 of his 46 points taking place in that key special teams spot.

Rotowire
DeBrincat registered an assist in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Senators.

Red Wings' Alex DeBrincat: Records apple in Global Series loss
Rotowire
DeBrincat supplied an assist Friday in a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs as part of the Global Series in Sweden.
