Lucas Raymond, Ville Husso among key players for Wings to snap playoff drought For the Wings to break through and play into the spring, there are several players on the roster who stand out and need to have quality seas...

Starting Thursday Per Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site, Husso will guard the road net Thursday against New Jersey.

Impact Husso posted a 26-22-7 record with a 3.11 GAA, an .896 save percentage and four shutouts in 56 games last season. Detroit has a crowded crease situation with goaltenders James Reimer and Alex Lyon on the roster as well, so getting off to a strong start will be important for Husso.

Snags win in preseason debut Husso set aside 15 of 16 shots en route to a 5-2 preseason win over the Capitals on Saturday.

Impact Husso looked sharp in his preseason debut, with the only damage against him coming in the form of a Dylan Strome power-play tally. Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said last week that Husso will manage a workload similar to what he endured last season, meaning the Finnish netminder should log between 55-58 starts. Should he need a breather at any point during the regular season, James Reimer -- whom the Wings signed in free agency -- should get the call as the No. 2 backstop.

Will not have workload scaled back The Red Wings plan to give Husso a similar workload as he had last season, albeit with improved schedule management, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Husso drew a career-high 56 starts in his debut campaign with the Red Wings, posting a 26-22-7 record, 3.11 GAA and .896 save percentage in the process. The rate stats left a lot to be desired from a fantasy perspective, but this article corroborates the idea that he was thrown into the fire too often. The Finn is entering just his fourth season at 28 years old, with the offseason additions of James Reimer, Alex Lyon and Michael Hutchinson figuring to give the team some much needed depth in goal. "We have a plan on what the season will look like," Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said of Husso. "It's probably a day-to-day thing, but we foresee him (in) the 55, 56-58 range. Hopefully, we can manage it a little bit better than we did last year in the volume of when and where."

Left alone during Lightning storm Husso made 27 saves in a 5-0 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.

Impact Husso got no help from his teammates, who seemed to be simply looking forward to the offseason. He ends the season on a 0-3-1 run and is 3-9-2 in his last 14. Husso and the Wings have struggled as the season progressed, but it's clear he brings stability to the Wings' net. Overall, he finished this season with the most wins of his career (26), including four shutouts. Husso's fantasy stock will rise next season if the team can take another step forward.

APRIL 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets early hook Monday Husso stopped only two of five shots before being replaced by Magnus Hellberg midway through the first period of Monday's 6-1 loss to the Stars.

Impact Hellberg didn't have much more luck than Husso did, as the Red Wings were simply dominated in all facets of play on the night. Husso has only one win in his last seven appearances sandwiched around a lower-body injury, going 1-5-1 since March 14 with a dreadful 4.37 GAA and .832 save percentage.

Starting Monday Husso will patrol the home crease Monday versus Dallas, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Husso has lost his past two outings, having permitted 11 goals on 64 shots. He has a 26-20-7 record this season with a 3.05 GAA and an .898 save percentage. Dallas is tied for seventh in the league this campaign with 3.41 goals per game.

APRIL 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iced by Penguins Husso made 23 saves in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.

Impact While there weren't many highlights in the game for Husso or the Red Wings, the 28-year-old will go into the history books as the goalie who gave up Sidney Crosby's 1,500th career point on a third-period power-play goal. Husso will take a 3.05 GAA and .898 save percentage into his next start.

Facing Penguins Husso will defend the home crease versus Pittsburgh on Saturday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Husso had a tough time Thursday, giving up six goals on 36 shots in a 7-6 shootout loss to the Sabres. He was coming off a shutout over Montreal on April 4, stopping 24 shots. Husso is 26-19-7 with a 3.01 GAA and .899 save percentage this season. He will face the Penguins, who are 16th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.19 goals per game.

Falls to Sabres in shootout Husso stopped 30 shots in regulation and overtime and one of three shootout attempts in Thursday's 7-6 loss to Buffalo.

Impact After shutting out the Canadiens on Tuesday in his first start back from a lower-body injury that had sidelined him since March 20, Husso came crashing back down to earth. The 28-year-old netminder has a career-high 26 wins and four shutouts this season, but they come with a mediocre 3.01 GAA and .899 save percentage. He still figures to be Detroit's No. 1 goalie next season barring a significant addition over the summer, and if the team's young roster takes a step forward, Husso figures to benefit.

APRIL 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Thursday Husso will get the home start versus Buffalo on Thursday, Red Wings' host Carley Johnston reports.

Impact Husso returned Tuesday after missing seven games with a lower-body injury, and he was strong in stopping 24 shots in a 5-0 win over Montreal. Husso is 26-19-6 with a 2.96 GAA and .901 save percentage. He will take on the Sabres, who are third in NHL scoring, averaging 3.55 goals per game.

Starting Tuesday Husso (lower body) will guard the cage on the road against Montreal on Tuesday, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Husso returns following a seven-game stint on the sidelines due to his lower-body problem. The netminder is currently mired in a three-game losing streak during which he posted a 4.46 GAA and .806 save percentage. With six games remaining this season, all three backstops could see some work, including Magnus Hellberg and Alex Nedeljkovic.

Impact Prior to getting hurt, Husso was mired in a three-game losing streak during which he notched a 4.46 GAA and .806 save percentage. Until the 28-year-old backstop is given the all-clear, it appears Alex Nedeljkovic will see the majority of the starts, though Magnus Hellberg could also be in the mix.

Alex Nedeljkovic, who was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on March 23, is slated to make his second straight start Tuesday against Pittsburgh.
