Andrew Copp last saw the ice on February 22nd, 2025, in what was a 4-3 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild. The Detroit Red Wings lost Copp for the year following that contest, and they were never the same team, ultimately missing the playoffs for the ninth straight season.

At that point, the Wings were 28-22-6, with 62 points and looking like one of the NHL's better teams after 56 games.
