Status report

The Red Wings held an optional morning skate. ... Compher will return after missing seven games because of an undisclosed injury. … Detroit sent forward Sheldon Dries to Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League on Thursday to create a roster spot for Compher. ... Postava was recalled from Grand Rapids on Thursday after Tarasov, a goalie, “tweaked something in practice” on Wednesday, said coach Todd McLellan, who added, “Just as a precaution, we don't think it's serious, but Postava will back up.” … Rossi will return after missing two games because of an illness. … Ohgren, a forward, appears to be a healthy scratch for the first time this season based on the Canucks optional morning skate. … Mancini will replace Schenn, a defenseman.
