Husso will get the starting nod on the road versus the Sabres on Monday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Husso still hasn't secured a win this season, going 0-4-2 with a 3.39 GAA in six outings. Still, with Cam Talbot (lower body) and Alex Lyon (lower body) both sidelined, the Red Wings don't have much choice but to continue rolling with Husso in the crease -- unless they want to give Sebastian Cossa his first NHL start.
Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Sets up lone tally in loss
Rotowire
Larkin notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Larkin took a shot attempt that pinged in off Lucas Raymond for the Red Wings' lone goal of the contest. This was Larkin's third assist over his last six games, but he hasn't scored in that span. It's a little bit of a slump for the center, though it mirrors the rest of the Red Wings' poor offense lately. Larkin is at 21 points, 69 shots on net, 20 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 27 appearances.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Extends losing streak
Rotowire
Husso stopped 23 of 25 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Husso has been forced to step into a starting role with Cam Talbot (lower body) sidelined, and the results haven't been encouraging. The 29-year-old Finnish netminder has yet to win a start this season and has dropped the four straight appearances since Dec. 1, going 0-2-2 with a 2.78 GAA and a .909 save percentage in that span.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Scores vs. Colorado
Rotowire
Raymond scored a goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Raymond deflected a shot past Alexandar Georgiev in the dying stages of the second period, but that was all the offense the Red Wings would muster in this contest. Raymond has been playing at a high level of late, cracking the scoresheet in all but one of his last 10 contests while notching eight goals and four assists in that span.
Talbot (lower body) won't be available for Monday's road game versus Buffalo, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.
Talbot will miss his third straight game against Colorado on Saturday before sitting out Monday's matchup. It remains unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Ville Husso will start against the Avalanche, and Sebastian Cossa will be the backup because Alex Lyon (lower body) remains on injured reserve.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Facing Avalanche
Rotowire
Husso will guard the home goal against Colorado on Saturday, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.
Husso is coming off a 2-1 loss to the Senators on Thursday, turning aside 30 shots. He is 0-3-2 with a 3.69 GAA and an .877 save percentage through five appearances this season. Colorado ranks 12th in the league with 3.26 goals per game in 2024-25.
Red Wings' J.T. Compher: Notches power-play helper
Rotowire
Compher recorded a power-play assist in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.
Compher remains stuck in a now 17-game goal drought, during which he's racked up five helpers. The 29-year-old remains on the second line with steady ice time, but he has multiple shots on net in just one of those games during the slump. For the season, he's at 10 points (four on the power play), 28 shots, 19 blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-1 rating across 25 appearances.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Extends winless streak
Rotowire
Husso stopped 30 of 32 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.
Husso has started in five of the nine games he's been available for this season, but the results haven't been encouraging. He's gone 0-3-2 with a 3.69 GAA and an .877 save percentage in his five outings, so the early returns aren't positive. Perhaps the lone positive aspect is that he's posted a save percentage above .900 in his last two starts, but even with his recent success, he's far from being a reliable fantasy alternative.

Red Wings' Alex DeBrincat: Scores in loss to Senators
Rotowire
DeBrincat scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.
DeBrincat has cracked the scoresheet in four of his last five outings, finding the back of the net three times in that stretch. The winger looks on pace to reach the 60-point plateau for a fourth consecutive campaign, and he remains one of the most productive players on the Red Wings' roster. He's up to 11 goals and 22 points over 26 contests.
Husso will defend the visiting crease in Ottawa on Thursday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.
Husso will make his third straight appearance after replacing the injured Cam Talbot (lower body) against Vancouver on Dec. 1. Husso is still looking for his first win of the season, as he is 0-2-2 with a 4.22 GAA and an .856 save percentage in four NHL games this season. The Senators have found the back of the net 75 times in 24 games (3.13 goals per game).

Red Wings' Patrick Kane: Activated from injured reserve
Rotowire
Kane (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Friday.
Kane has missed the last five games. The 36-year-old was scoreless in his five appearances leading up to his absence. Kane has three goals and seven assists over 20 outings this season, including five points on the power play. He will likely see action on the second line alongside Alex DeBrincat and J.T. Compher.
Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Stays warm in overtime loss
Rotowire
Rasmussen notched an assist and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Bruins.
Rasmussen picked up a point for the third time in four games (one goal, two assists). The 25-year-old looks to be in line for a larger role as long as Patrick Kane (upper body) is on injured reserve. Rasmussen is up to eight points, 22 shots on net and 50 hits over 24 contests, offering some upside as a power winger.

Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Two helpers against Boston
Rotowire
Edvinsson collected two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Bruins.
The young blueliner had a hand in Lucas Raymond tallies in the first and third periods. It's the second multi-point performance in the last five games for Edvinsson, but he was held off the scoresheet entirely in the other three contests. The sixth overall pick in the 2021 Draft is still trying to develop some consistency, but he's had a strong start to his first full season in the NHL, producing three goals and 12 points in 24 contests while adding 46 blocked shots, 32 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-5 rating.
