Husso will serve as the starting goaltender in Thursday's Opening Night matchup at home against the Penguins, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Husso struggled during the 2023-24 campaign, posting a 9-5-2 record, 3.55 GAA and .892 save percentage over 19 appearances. However, he had a strong preseason this year and will be in the home crease for the Red Wings' regular-season opener. It seems likely that Cam Talbot will still be the team's No. 1 option at goalie this year, but Husso could make a push from playing time if he has a bounce-back campaign.
