Cossa was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday.
Cossa was summoned by Detroit on Dec. 2 since Cam Talbot (lower body) and Alex Lyon (lower body) were unavailable, but Talbot is set to return Thursday versus Philadelphia. That frees Cossa to resume getting regular starts in the minors. The 22-year-old netminder has a 2.21 GAA and a .925 save percentage over 14 outings with Grand Rapids this season. He made his NHL debut Monday in relief of Ville Husso, stopping 12 of 14 shots across 45:00 of ice time en route to a 6-5 shootout victory over Buffalo.

Red Wings' Sebastian Cossa: Nabs win in NHL debut
Rotowire
Cossa stopped 12 of 14 shots in regulation and overtime, plus two of three shootout attempts, in Monday's 6-5 win over the Sabres.
Ville Husso got the start for Detroit but gave up three goals on seven shots in the first period before getting the hook. Cossa took over to begin the second with the Wings down 3-2, and while it was a tough spot in which to make his NHL debut, the 22-year-old held his own and shut the Sabres down completely in the third period and OT before getting rewarded with a shootout win. Given Husso's struggles as the No. 1 while Cam Talbot (lower body) and Alex Lyon (lower body) have been sidelined, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Cossa make his first career NHL start Thursday in Philadelphia if Talbot isn't ready to return.
