Husso will get his second consecutive start and look for his third consecutive win on Saturday as the Red Wings face off against the Ottawa Senators. Husso has been far from remarkable this season, posting a 3.37 GAA and .881 SV%, but has still managed a winning record through three starts (2-1-0) thanks in part to the Red Wings' early-season offensive prowess (4.75 GF/GP).

In his first two games this season (1-1-0), Husso has shown mixed results, recording a 3.57 GAA and .863 SV%. The Red Wings will hope that competition between him and Reimer can inspire him to elevate his game to last year's early season form that saw him record a .922 SV% and three shutouts in his first 13 games (8-2-3). The Red Wings are +110 home underdogs against a Pittsburgh Penguins team that has outscored opponents 11-6 in their first three games (2-1-0).
