Red Wings' Ville Husso: Sent down Wednesday
Ville Husso was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday.This move suggests Alex Lyon (lower body) will be cleared to at least serve as the backup for Friday's game in Anaheim. Husso made one appearance during this stint in the NHL, allowing three goals on 23 shots in a 4-0 loss to the Rangers last Saturday. Lyon and Cam Talbot will be the Detroit Red Wings' NHL goaltending duo moving forward.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Gets no help in return to Wings
Ville Husso turned aside 20 of 23 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Rangers, with New York's final goal getting scored into an empty net.Making his first NHL appearances since Oct. 10, Husso got very little help from his teammates as the Blueshirts scored on the power play midway through the first period and never looked back. Husso was called up from AHL Grand Rapids on an emergency basis with Alex Lyon (lower body) unavailable and Cam Talbot having played the night before, and he'll likely stick around as Talbot's backup until Lyon is cleared for action. Husso has given up seven goals on 37 shots for Detroit this season, but he's posted a 1.23 GAA and .958 save percentage in three appearances for Grand Rapids.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Tending twine Saturday
Ville Husso will be between the home pipes against the Rangers on Saturday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.Husso was recalled under emergency conditions after Alex Lyon, who was originally scheduled to start versus the Maple Leafs on Friday, suffered a lower-body injury. With a back-to-back on the schedule, the Detroit Red Wings will turn to Cam Talbot for Friday's contest before pressing Husso into service versus the Rangers on Saturday. In his lone NHL appearance this year, the 29-year-old HUsso gave up four goals on 14 shots (.714 save percentage) before being pulled from the crease versus the Penguins on Oct. 10. Once Lyon is cleared to return, Husso will likely be shipped back to the minors.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Called up from minors
Ville Husso was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids under emergency conditions Friday.According to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit Red Wings are dealing with a flu bug going around the team. As such, the decision to bring up Husso could be an indication that Alex Lyon, who is scheduled to start, or Cam Talbot is under the weather ahead of Friday's matchup with Toronto. Either way, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting Husso to feature against the Leafs on Friday -- though with a back-to-back, it's not out of the question that he would be pressed into service versus the Rangers at home Saturday.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Stumbles out of gate
Ville Husso allowed four goals on 14 shots Thursday before being replaced by Cam Talbot early in the second period. Detroit lost 6-3 to Pittsburgh.Sure, the Wings D was porous, but at some point, Husso needs to step into the role or leave. It took less than a period for Wings fans to explode in fury on social media with this performance. Husso showed such promise in St. Louis, but has never been able to fulfill it in Detroit. Beware your fantasy bottom line if you rely on him. He could end up at the end of the bench... or worse.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Set to start Thursday
Ville 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 Detroit 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.
