John Gibson "Should Be Fine" After Early Exit Sunday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender John Gibson (undisclosed) is not expected to be out long-term, Max Smith of Detroit Hockey Now reports. Gibson departed Sunday's 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils after two periods, finishing with 21 saves. "He got hit in a bad spot and didn't feel good after that happened. He should be fine, I would think," Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan said postgame. Cam Talbot replaced Gibson for the third to finish the job and had 10 saves as Detroit recorded its first shared shutout since 2019. Gibson missed one game last week due to an upper-body injury. The Red Wings don't have any back-to-backs on the horizon, so the team could ride Talbot until Gibson feels 100 percent.

Moritz Seider has Three-Point Performance on Sunday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider scored once and had two assists in a 3-0 shutout victory over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. He beat Jacob Markstrom in the first period, set up James van Riemsdyk in the second period, and then assisted on Dominik Shine's first goal of the season in the third period. Seider now has eight goals and 36 assists on the season, which is good for the fourth-most points on the Red Wings.

Dylan Larkin Ruled Out for Sunday

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin (leg) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the New Jersey Devils. He is considered day-to-day after suffering a leg injury in Friday's loss to Florida. The good news is that Larkin is expected to travel with the team for a four-game road trip, and it's possible he can return to action before the Red Wings return home. Larkin is second on his team with 28 goals and ranks third with 55 points in 63 games. Andrew Copp is expected to take over as the first-line center on Sunday, with Marco Kasper and J.T. Compher also moving up in the depth chart. Michael Brandsegg-Nygard was recalled from the minors on an emergency basis to fill the void in the lineup.

Dylan Larkin Not Expected to Be Out Long-Term

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin (undisclosed) escaped serious injury on Friday night against the Florida Panthers and is not expected to be out for long. "He crumpled up there," Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan said of Larkin postgame. "He's in the back. He'll get checked out. We don't think it's going to be long-term, but he needs to be looked at. We'll give you an update when we have it." Larkin left Friday's game in the third period after appearing to injure his right leg. Before leaving, he earned a power-play assist, bringing his season total to 55 points (28 goals, 27 assists) in 63 games. Mario Kasper could rejoin the top six if Larkin misses his first game of the season on Sunday against the New Jersey Devils.

John Gibson Starting Against Panthers

Detroit Red Wings goaltender John Gibson (upper body) will return to work on Friday against the Florida Panthers. He has been named the starter for Friday night after missing Wednesday's loss to Vegas with an upper-body injury. Gibson has been strong between the sticks this season, posting a 23-12-2 record with four shutouts. He holds a 2.58 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage. On Friday, Gibson draws a good matchup, as Florida has dropped nine of its last 11 games and has scored two or fewer goals in four of the past six contests.

Justin Faulk Lands in Detroit

The Detroit Red Wings acquired defenseman Justin Faulk from the St. Louis Blues on Friday in exchange for a 2026 first-round pick, a 2026 third-round pick, defenseman Justin Holl, and forward prospect Dmitri Buchelnikov. Faulk spent six and a half seasons with the Blues, recording 32 points (11 goals, 21 assists), 116 shots, 102 blocks, and 49 hits in 61 appearances this term. The veteran blue-liner has had a decent campaign on a bad team and will have an opportunity to improve his production with the playoff-chasing Red Wings. He's going to be part of the top-four group in Motown and will likely strengthen the second power-play unit.

David Perron Returns to Detroit

The Detroit Red Wings re-acquired winger David Perron (groin) from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a conditional 2026 fourth-round draft pick. The veteran forward enjoyed a good two-year spell in Motown a few campaigns back before moving to Ottawa, amassing 103 points (41 goals, 62 assists) in 158 appearances. As a member of the Senators, his points per game average dropped from 0.65 to 0.45. It would be a big boost for Detroit's offense if Perron can rekindle some of the old magic he once had on the team. Perron, who has tallied 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists) in 49 appearances this season, is currently recovering from a sports hernia surgery, which is expected to keep him out for at least one more week.

John Gibson Exits Win Early

Detroit Red Wings goaltender John Gibson (upper body) left Monday's 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators after the first period. He suffered an upper-body injury in the contest, saving 10 of 11 shots before his premature exit. Cam Talbot had 18 saves on 19 shots as Gibson's replacement. Injuries have been a consistent theme throughout Gibson's career, but he has performed well when available this season. The Pittsburgh native boasts a 23-12-2 record, a 2.57 goals-against average, a .905 save percentage, and four shutouts. Only Ilya Sorokin (6) has had more shutouts this season in the NHL.

Simon Edvinsson Back in Red Wings Lineup Thursday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson (lower body) is poised to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators after being activated from Injured Reserve. A lower-body injury kept him out of action for seven games before the Olympic break. Edvinsson has drawn praise for his steady play this season, recording 17 points (six goals, 11 assists), 57 shots, 104 blocks, 63 hits, and a plus-six rating in 48 games. The Swedish blue-liner will rejoin his usual partner, Moritz Seider, on the first defensive pairing and will grab a spot on the second power-play unit.

Detroit Red Wings right wing Lucas Raymond had a big game with a goal and two assists in Sweden's 5-3 victory over Slovakia on Saturday. With three points, the 23-year-old tied a Team Sweden record for an Olympic game involving NHL players. Raymond collected a power-play assist in the second period before bagging two even-strength points in the third.

Patrick Kane Becomes NHL's Highest-Scoring U.S-Born Player

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane had a historic outing on Thursday night against the Washington Capitals, becoming the NHL's all-time leading scorer among U.S-born players. Kane surpassed Mike Modano, reaching 1,375 career points with an assist in a 4-3 shootout loss. The 2016 MVP has managed 500 goals and 875 assists in 1,342 career games. Modano had held the record since 1997. It's an incredible achievement for Kane, who has notched 32 points (eight goals, 24 assists) in 40 outings this term. He has finished three consecutive games with an assist and can match his longest point streak of the season in Saturday's meeting with the Colorado Avalanche.

Simon Edvinsson Misses Second Straight Game

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson (lower body) will sit out a second straight game on Saturday against the Winnipeg Jets. On Thursday, Edvinsson was a late scratch for a matchup against the Minnesota Wild, and he hasn't shaken off a lower-body injury in time for Saturday's game. Edvinsson has made a mark at both ends of the ice, registering 17 points (six goals, 11 assists), 57 shots, 104 blocks, and 63 hits in 48 contests. Travis Hamonic filled in for Edvinsson on Thursday, though Erik Gustafsson is also an option on the roster to join the blue line.

Patrick Kane to Miss Fifth Consecutive Game

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) won't be available until after the Christmas break, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports. The Red Wings have one more game before the break, facing the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. This will mark Kane's fifth consecutive absence. Kane has been sharp when in the lineup this season, posting 23 points (six goals, 17 assists) in 24 appearances. John Leonard has been doing a great job as his replacement on the second line, scoring in back-to-back games and amassing three points (two goals, one assist) in four outings.

Patrick Kane to Remain Out Saturday

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) will miss a third consecutive game on Saturday against the Washington Capitals. The former MVP was injured last Saturday against the Chicago Blackhawks, and it remains unclear when he can rejoin the action. Kane has been impactful this season, notching 23 points (six goals, 17 assists) in 24 games. In his absence, John Leonard has received a chance on the second line, recording one assist across two games. He figures to remain in the role for Saturday's tough matchup against one of the NHL's best defensive teams.

Patrick Kane Expected to Miss at Least Two Games

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) is expected to miss at least the next two games. The former MVP is considered day-to-day after he sustained an upper-body injury in Saturday's 4-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. Kane had a goal and an assist against his former team, boosting his tally for the season to 23 points. He has registered six goals and 17 helpers in 24 appearances. Chicago plays a back-to-back next, facing the New York Islanders on Tuesday and the Utah Mammoth on Wednesday. John Leonard was recalled from the minors on Monday and is set to take Kane's spot on the second line. While Leonard has never made a significant impact in the NHL, he leads the AHL with 19 goals this season and should draw some interest among DFS managers until Kane returns.

Alex DeBrincat Extends Scoring Streak With Three-Point Effort

Detroit Red Wings winger Alex DeBrincat continued his prolific start to December with a three-point performance in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Calgary Flames. He notched two goals and one assist, recording his third three-point outing of the season. DeBrincat has landed on the score sheet in each of his five outings this month, totaling four goals and eight points. The veteran winger is having a spectacular year and could average more than a point per game in a campaign for only the second time during his nine-year NHL career. After 31 outings, DeBrincat boasts a team-high 34 points (16 goals, 18 assists). He is tied for fourth in the league with seven power-play goals.

Simon Edvinsson Makes Early Exit Wednesday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson (lower body) didn't complete Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Calgary Flames. He suffered a lower-body injury, taking only a couple of shifts in the second period and missing the third. Edvinsson has been an all-around contributor for the Red Wings, totaling nine points (three goals, six assists), 33 shots, 57 blocks, and 37 hits in 28 contests this season. Detroit will return to action on Thursday night against the Edmonton Oilers, and Jacob Bernard-Docker is in line to fill Edvinsson's spot in the lineup if he can't play. Bernard-Docker does not hold any fantasy value.
