MacKinnon-led Avalanche top Red Wings for 5th straight win

Nathan MacKinnon scored a tiebreaking goal midway through the second period and had an assist to help the Colorado Avalanche pull away for a 5-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings

Tending twine Saturday Husso will defend the home net Saturday versus Colorado, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Husso is coming off a 14-save effort in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Nashville. He has a 25-17-6 record this season with a 2.92 GAA and a .903 save percentage. The Avalanche rank 15th in the league this year with 3.22 goals per game.

MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets buried by Avs Husso stopped 16 of 21 shots before being replaced by Magnus Hellberg early in the third period of Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact The goaltending switch was a desperation move by Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde, as Husso really didn't have much chance on any of the five pucks that beat him. The 28-year-old netminder has just two wins in his last eight starts, going 2-5-1 with an .865 save percentage, but his starting job likely isn't in any danger down the stretch from the 31-year-old Hellberg.

Falls to Preds Husso allowed two goals on 16 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Nashville.

Impact It was a relatively calm night for Husso as he turned aside 14 of just 16 shots. However, the Red Wings couldn't crack Jusse Saros on the other end, and the 28-year-old consequently fell to 25-17-6 with a .903 save percentage in 49 contests this season. He'll look to get back in the winning column Saturday when Detroit hosts Colorado.

Starting in Nashville Husso will guard the road goal versus the Predators on Tuesday.

Impact Husso led the Red Wings onto the ice, so he will make his fourth start in the last five games. He's won his last two outings despite allowing three goals in each of them. The Predators have won four of their last six games, so they could still pose a threat to Husso's chances of emerging with a victory.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hangs on for win Sunday Husso made 30 saves in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Bruins.

Impact The Red Wings built a 4-0 lead late in the second period, and while Husso lost his shutout bid on a Mark Grzelcyk tally, he weathered the inevitable comeback attempt in the third. Husso is 8-5-1 with a .908 save percentage over 14 starts since the All-Star break as Detroit's clear No. 1 netminder, and he's up to 25 wins on the season -- tying the career high he set in 2021-22 with St. Louis.

Starting Sunday Husso will patrol the home crease during Sunday's matchup with the Bruins, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Husso wasn't great in his last start Wednesday versus Chicago, surrendering three goals on just 20 shots, but he was still able to come away with a win thanks to strong goal support from his teammates. He'll try to secure a second straight victory in a rough home matchup with a Boston team that's 23-6-2 on the road this year.

Red Wings edge Blackhawks 4-3, end six-game slide

Dominik Kubalik scored the go-ahead goal with 4:07 remaining and the Detroit Red Wings snapped a six-game skid with a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks

MARCH 9, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Stops 17 in win Husso made 17 saves in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Husso wasn't all that busy as the Red Wings held a 41-20 edge in shots, but he gave up two goals to Taylor Raddysh in the first and another to Joey Anderson early in the third, precipitating the need for a third-period Detroit comeback to snap the team's six-game slide. The comeback victory also got Husso into the win column for the first time since Feb. 23 -- he had been 0-3-1 in his last four decisions. Detroit's six points back of a playoff spot, and Husso should continue to start most of the team's games as long as the Red Wings remain within striking distance of the postseason.

Dragged down by Kraken in OT Husso made 32 saves in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to Seattle.

Impact After allowing three goals in the first period, Husso steadied the ship and gave the Red Wings a chance to get back in the game, but the team ultimately came up short. The 28-year-old netminder has coughed up 11 goals in his last two starts, but he was playing well prior to that -- over his last 15 appearances Husso has a 9-5-1 record with a 2.66 GAA and .911 save percentage. Detroit appears to be throwing in the towel at the trade deadline, however, so wins and points could be tougher to come by for Husso down the stretch.

Stunned by Sens Husso made 21 saves in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to Ottawa.

Impact The Red Wings actually opened the scoring early in the first period on a Dominik Kubalik tally, but the Senators were up 4-1 before the first intermission. It was Husso's worst performance since he coughed up eight goals against the Rangers on Nov. 10, but the 28-year-old netminder was otherwise pretty sharp in February, wrapping up the month having gone 6-4-0 with a 2.60 GAA and .913 save percentage.
