Michael Rasmussen Might Be An Option Monday

Detroit Red Wings center Michael Rasmussen (upper body) might make a quick return to the lineup. He missed his first game of the season on Saturday versus Los Angeles, but Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde hopes to have him available again on Monday against San Jose. The same applies to defenseman Simon Edvinsson (lower body). Rasmussen leads the Red Wings forwards with 30 hits and has logged four points (two goals, two assists) across 16 games. Tyler Motte took his place in the lineup on Saturday. He will likely head back to the press box if Rasmussen is ready to return on Monday.

Alex Lyon Struggles In First Appearance Of The Month

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon had a rough outing as he returned from a lower-body injury on Friday against Anaheim, allowing five goals on 28 shots in a 6-4 defeat. The Red Wings battled out a 3-1 lead, but Lyon couldn't keep ahold of it, conceding three goals in the third period. The 31-year-old netminder has now dropped three starts in a row, with his record plummeting to 2-4-0. Lyon has a 3.13 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage for the campaign. He will give up the crease to Cam Talbot against the Kings on Saturday and might have to wait for his next opportunity for a while because Lyon hasn't been getting the job done for Detroit.

Patrick Kane Notches Two Points In Overtime Win

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane played a vital role in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime triumph at Pittsburgh, scoring a power-play goal and helping to set up Simon Edvinsson for the game-winning tally. The former MVP ended a three-game dry spell with the two-point outing. It's his third multi-point game of the campaign. Health issues have left a mark on Kane, but he can still get hot occasionally. In 15 outings this season, Kane has managed three goals and seven assists, grabbing half of his 10 points with the man advantage.

Jeff Petry Sits Out Friday's Contest

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jeff Petry will be a healthy scratch for Friday's matchup against Toronto. He comes out of the lineup after amassing a minus-three rating across the past three games. The entire campaign has been a struggle for Petry, who's produced only one assist in nine games. The Red Wings will insert Justin Holl back into the lineup. Holl has recorded one assist in seven outings this season. He has failed to hit the 14-minute mark in three consecutive appearances but should play a bigger role on Friday as Ben Chiarot's partner on the second defensive pairing. With that said, Holl has zero fantasy value, and managers should look elsewhere for reinforcements at the back.

Alex Lyon Dealing With Lower-Body Injury, Ville Husso Called Up

Detroit Red Wings goalie Alex Lyon (lower body) tweaked an injury in practice on Thursday and won't play in either of the team's back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday. Cam Talbot will get Friday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, while Ville Husso was called up from the AHL and will start Saturday against the New York Rangers. Neither make for a great stream, as both the Rangers and Leafs have offensive firepower. As for Lyon, head coach Derek Lalonde said he wasn't overly concerned about the chance of a long-term absence, so the goalie should be back soon.

Dylan Larkin Bags Two Points In Win Over Chicago

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin played a pivotal role in Wednesday's 4-1 win at Chicago. The Red Wings captain logged two points in the contest, helping Alex DeBrincat to start the scoring in the first period and netting the game-winning tally in the second frame. It was Larkin's second consecutive multi-point outing. He has hit top gear lately by amassing five points in three games, doubling his tally for the season. Despite ensuring a dry spell recently, Larkin leads the Red Wings with eight goals and has recorded two assists in 12 games. He faces one of his favorite opponents next, entering a matchup against the Maple Leafs with 27 points (13 goals, 14 assists) in 28 career games against them. Larkin has scored more points only versus the Sabres (29).

Dylan Larkin Scores Twice On Saturday

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin found the back of the net twice in their victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday evening. The Detroit captain tied the game on a power-play goal in the second frame. Later in the third, the Michigan native would break the stalemate by scoring his second goal of the evening, once again on the man advantage. Through his first 11 games this season, Larkin has tallied eight points, seven of which were goals. In addition, he sits with a minus-three rating with 30 shots on goal, six hits, and four blocked shots. Fantasy managers should continue to rely on Larkin as a safe bet for offensive output, as he should continue to play on the top line alongside Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane.

Cam Talbot Stops 31 Shots In Saturday's Victory

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Cam Talbot enjoyed a nice bounce-back outing on Saturday evening in his victory over the Buffalo Sabres. The veteran netminder turned aside 31 of the 32 shots he faced. This was a nice outing for Talbot as he has surrendered at least three goals in each of his past three starts. His lone blemish of the evening came off a shorthanded goal courtesy of Alex Tuch in the opening frame. Talbot has now posted a 2.73 GAA with a .923 SV% through six games this season. With Alex Lyon allowing ten goals in his past two outings, fantasy managers should expect Talbot to see the slight majority of starts for the time being.

Vladimir Tarasenko Ready To Go For Saturday

Detroit Red Wings winger Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) appears to be over his sickness and should play on Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres. Tarasenko missed Wednesday's game while dealing with the flu, but is back at practice Friday. The 32-year-old is off to a rough start with his new team, as he has just two goals and one assist through nine games. He has been playing on the third line and second powerplay unit as of late, and unless that changes his production is unlikely to rebound. He can be dropped in all but deeper leagues at this point.

Vladimir Tarasenko A Game-Time Call On Wednesday

Detroit Red Wings Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's tilt against Winnipeg. Tarasenko is battling a flu bug and didn't skate on Wednesday morning. Nine games into the season, Tarasenko has yet to hit top gear, picking up one goal and two assists. Michael Rasmussen is expected to step into a third-line role if Tarasenko can't play on Wednesday. The team has recalled Austin Watson from the AHL on an emergency basis, although Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde has also suggested that he might use seven defensemen against the Jets.

Erik Gustafsson Sits Out Sunday's Game

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Erik Gustafsson will come out of the lineup for Sunday's contest against Edmonton. He will be a healthy scratch for the third time this season. The Red Wings brought Gustafsson in on a two-year, $4 million contract this offseason to add some offense to the blue line, but the Swedish rearguard has been a disappointment so far. Despite averaging over three minutes of power-play time (3:19), Gustafsson has only two assists with 10 shots in six games for the season. Justin Holl also takes a seat on Sunday, with Olli Maatta and Albert Johansson drafted into the lineup.

Patrick Kane Totals Two Points In Thursday's Win

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane picked up two points as the team defeated New Jersey 5-3 on Thursday. Kane collected a goal and an assist with the man advantage in the third period, with his second marker of the year ending up as the game-winning goal. The former MVP has started to heat up, lightning the lamp in back-to-back contests and putting together a three-game point streak. He has scored five points (two goals, three assists) in seven games across the campaign with 15 shots. Saturday's matchup against his hometown Sabers offers Kane a good opportunity to extend his scoring run. Buffalo has a poor defensive record, and Kane has always enjoyed this matchup, collecting 30 points (14 goals, 16 assists) in 28 career appearances against the Sabres.

Alex Lyon Collects Fourth Career Shutout

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon stoned the Islanders on Tuesday, finishing a 1-0 victory with a 29-save shutout. Patrick Kane scored the only goal as Lyon played a key role in the win. He needed to make nearly three times as many saves as Ilya Sorokin in the other net, with Detroit only firing off 11 shots on goal. This was Lyon's fourth career shutout. The 31-year-old has been a late bloomer and will be delighted with his early season form. Lyon carries a 2-1-0 record and has allowed only 1.46 goals with a .955 save percentage. He's competing for playing time with Cam Talbot, who's gone 1-1-0 so far while also boasting one shutout with a 3.31 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage.

Jeff Petry Ready To Return On Saturday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jeff Petry (upper body) is set to rejoin the lineup on Saturday versus Nashville. The veteran has missed three games after getting hurt in the team's season-opener against Pittsburgh on Oct. 10. Erik Gustafsson is expected to be scratched for the contest to accommodate Petry's return. Petry's productivity dropped off significantly in 2023-24 as he settled for 24 points (three goals, 21 assists) in 73 games with 134 blocks and 150 hits. He'll be 37 soon and doesn't appear to have much gas left.

Christian Fischer Returns To Red Wings Lineup

Detroit Red Wings right wing Christian Fischer (upper body) will rejoin the lineup for Thursday's battle against the Rangers. He was injured against Nashville last weekend and missed Monday's tilt versus the Rangers. Fischer is still looking for his first points of the season. He tallied five goals and 14 assists across 79 outings last term. The 27-year-old is expected to join Andrew Copp and Michael Rasmussen on the third line for Thursday's action. Austin Watson comes out of the lineup and has been reassigned to the minors.

Vladimir Tarasenko Good To Go Thursday

Detroit Red Wings winger Vladimir Tarasenko (illness) will play against the Rangers on Thursday. He was forced to sit out Wednesday's practice because of an illness but won't miss any game time. Tarasenko should join his usual partners, J.T. Compher and Lucas Raymond, on the second line. The campaign has not gone too well for Tarasenko so far, as he boasts only one point through three games, having found the back of the net in last week's season opener against Pittsburgh. However, he should be eager to perform well in a matchup against his former team. Tarasenko has tallied two goals and one assist in four games against the Rangers since leaving New York.

Vladimir Tarasenko Misses Practice Due To An Illness

Detroit Red Wings winger Vladimir Tarasenko missed Wednesday's practice because of an illness. This leaves a question mark hanging over him ahead of Thursday's matchup against the New York Rangers. Tarasenko has had an underwhelming start on his new team, posting one goal with eight shots in three games. He has been limited to only 13:22 of ice time per game. Despite his absence from practice, Tarasenko is still expected to play against his former team on Thursday. However, if he ends up missing the game, Michael Rasmussen will likely move to the second line after skating there on Wednesday.

Alex Lyon Starts For Red Wings Monday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon will be in the crease for Monday's Original Six matchup against the Rangers. The Red Wings are going with a third different starter in three games after Ville Husso and Cam Talbot got the nod for the first two games of the season. Husso was waived at the weekend, and now it's Lyon's turn to show what he's capable of. The 31-year-old had a 21-18-5 record in Detroit last year, allowing 3.05 goals with a .904 save percentage. He owns a 2-3-0 career record against the Rangers, who have scored a whopping 11 goals in their first two 2024-25 outings.

Ville Husso  • G  •  Red Wings

Ville Husso Waived By Red Wings

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Ville Husso was waived on Sunday. The team made the move after seeing Husso give up four goals on 14 shots in Thursday's season-opening 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh. Husso also struggled badly last year, finishing with a below-par .892 save percentage and allowing 3.55 goals. He inked a three-year, $14.25 million contract with the Red Wings in 2022 following a strong campaign with the St. Louis Blues. However, Husso has posted a mediocre 75-35-28 record in Motown. Cam Talbot got the nod for Saturday's matchup against Nashville and posted an impressive 42-save shutout in a 3-0 win. Alex Lyon is also an option between the sticks for Detroit.

Christian Fischer Out With An Upper-Body Injury

Detroit Red Wings right wing Christian Fischer (upper body) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Rangers. He sustained an upper-body injury in Saturday's meeting with Nashville and is labeled as day-to-day. Fischer has worked on the third line to start the year, going scoreless in two games with zero shots. The Red Wings need to call up a forward from the minors to replace Fischer, or the team could go with seven defensemen in the Original Six matchup.
