VILLE HUSSO NEWS

Surrenders five goals Thursday Husso stopped 32 of 37 shots on goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Husso allowed three goals in the first period alone, which would be too steep a deficit for Anaheim's offense to overcome before he surrendered two more tallies in the third. With the loss, the 30-year-old netminder now has a 5-3-0 record with a 3.16 GAA and an .888 save percentage through eight appearances this season. With starting netminder Lukas Dostal (upper-body) potentially near a return, Husso would be ushered to the backup role. Husso has been inconsistent between the pipes thus far, making him tough to trust in all fantasy formats moving forward. If Dostal remains sidelined in the team's next game, Anaheim would likely turn to Husso for the team's game Saturday in New Jersey.

Best player on ice in shootout win Husso made 44 saves in a 4-3 shootout win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday

Impact Husso was the best player on the ice, making massive stops throughout the game including several in overtime and the shootout. Beckett Sennecke's record goal with 0.1 seconds left in the third will steal the oxygen, but Husso was the true star. He has won three straight games and is 4-1-0 in December.

In goal versus Penguins Husso will start in goal on the road versus the Penguins on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Husso continues to see heavy usage while the Ducks' two primary netminders are both out. The 30-year-old won his last start, stopping 19 of 20 shots Sunday versus the Blackhawks. The Penguins have racked up 21 goals over their last six games but are without Evgeni Malkin (upper body).

Cruises to win Sunday Husso stopped 19 of 20 shots in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Husso earned consecutive wins for the first time this season, though the Blackhawks hardly put up much of a challenge. The 30-year-old is now 4-2-0 with a 2.82 GAA and an .875 save percentage in six games. Husso will remain the starting goalie as long as Lukas Dostal (upper body) is sidelined, though Dostal's about to enter the 2-3 week range he was given for a return when he initially got hurt. The Ducks head east on a road trip that begins Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

Tending twine against Chicago Husso will start Sunday's home game against Chicago, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Husso has had mixed results this year, going 3-2-0 with a 3.28 GAA and .859 save percentage over his last five appearances (four starts). That span includes a relief appearance against Chicago on Nov. 30 in which he failed to save the only shot he saw while logging just 9:01 of ice time. Husso hasn't yet picked up back-to-back wins this season, and he'll attempt to change that trend Sunday after picking up the win over Washington on Friday.

Picks up shootout win Husso stopped 18 of 21 shots in Friday's 4-3 shootout win over the Capitals.

Impact Husso made his third straight start and bounced back with a win after getting pulled in Wednesday's loss to the Mammoth. The 30-year-old netminder is 3-2-0 on the year, but he's given up at least three goals in three of his four starts. He's a stopgap option in goal for the Ducks while Lukas Dostal (upper body) and Petr Mrazek (lower body) are on injured reserve. The Ducks host the Blackhawks on Sunday before embarking on a road trip that begins Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

Guarding cage versus Caps Husso will patrol the blue paint at home against Washington on Friday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Impact Husso will be making his fifth straight appearance in the crease, having gone 2-2-0 with a 3.46 in his prior four outings. With both Lukas Dostal (upper body) and Petr Mrazek (lower body) both on the shelf, Husso figures to get a heavy workload moving forward.

Struggles in blowout loss Husso stopped 17 of 21 shots in two periods of Wednesday's 7-0 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Husso has alternated wins and losses over his four appearances so far, allowing 10 goals on 71 shots. The 30-year-old was replaced by Vyacheslav Buteyets for the third period of this contest. Husso is primed for the Ducks' starting job in goal for at least a couple of weeks while Lukas Dostal (upper body) and Petr Mrazek (lower body) are both out. The playing time and the Ducks' offense make Husso a decent fantasy option, but only if he can settle in and provide competitive performances between the pipes. The Ducks have a tough matchup ahead when they host the Capitals on Friday.

Guarding home goal Husso is expected to start at home against Utah on Wednesday, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Impact Husso stopped 21 of 22 shots en route to a 4-1 victory over St. Louis on Monday. He didn't make his NHL season debut until Nov. 28, but Husso is set to appear in his fourth straight game because Anaheim is without goaltenders Petr Mrazek (lower body) or Lukas Dostal (upper body). Utah is tied for 19th in goals per game with 2.96.

Steady in Monday's win Husso stopped 21 of 22 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Husso gave up a goal to Jordan Kyrou in the first period, but that was it. Over his first three games of the season, Husso is 2-1-0 with six goals allowed on 50 shots, with his one loss coming in a brief relief appearance. The 30-year-old will likely see a majority of the starts until Petr Mrazek (lower body) or Lukas Dostal (upper body) returns. The Ducks don't have any back-to-backs in the near term, so expect Husso to get the nod Wednesday at home versus the Mammoth.

Starting against St. Louis Husso will start Monday's road game against St. Louis, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Husso made his first start of the season for the Ducks on Friday and turned aside 23 of 27 shots (.852 save percentage) en route to a win in overtime. He entered Sunday's loss to Chicago in relief after Petr Mrazek (lower body) exited the game, and Husso was charged with a loss after allowing a goal on the only shot he faced. Mrazek won't be available in the second half of the back-to-back set, while Lukas Dostal (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday. As a result, Husso will draw the start in St. Louis, while Vyacheslav Buteyets will serve as the backup.
