Husso surrendered two goals on nine shots before leaving the game against the Anaheim Ducks on Monday with a lower-body injury. With Alex Lyon expected to be out of the lineup until after Christmas, James Reimer will likely start at least two of the next three games for the Red Wings heading into the holiday break. The Red Wings signed goaltender Michael Hutchinson on Tuesday to serve as a backup to Reimer in the interim.
Husso surrendered two goals on nine shots before leaving the game. Assuming he is unable to return, we can expect to receive some sort of update on his status following the completion of Monday's game. James Reimer entered the Red Wings' crease in place of Husso.
Dostal will get the nod in Detroit on Monday as starter John Gibson is away from the team due to the impending birth of his child. It will be Dostal's second appearance in as many nights after he relieved Gibson on Sunday in New Jersey as the latter dealt with dehydration. Dostal stopped all ten shots he faced in relief as he helped the Ducks cruise to an unexpected 5-1 victory over the Devils. Dostal will be looking to build on last night's performance on Monday and improve on his underwhelming .887 SV% and 3.93 GAA.
Carlsson sat out Sunday's game in New Jersey as the Ducks continue to take a cautious approach with his workload and avoid playing him on back-to-back nights. The 2023 second-overall pick has eight goals and six assists across the first 21 games of his NHL career.
Clang was the 77th overall pick of the Ducks in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and has a 3.76 GAA and .882 SV% in 12 games (2-7-2) with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL this season. John Gibson exited Sunday's contest against the New Jersey Devils in the second period and might be unable to suit up on Monday against the Detroit Red Wings, meaning Clang would likely serve as the backup to Lukas Dostal.
Alex Lyon exited Saturday's game in the second period with a lower-body injury and was replaced by Husso, who saved all 18 shots he faced in a 1-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. The Red Wings will likely roll with Husso on Monday and hope that his performance over the last three games, saving 88 of 94 shots (.936 SV%), is a trend for the Finnish netminder, who had struggled immensely, posting a .872 SV% in his seven games before (4-2-1). The Red Wings are -237 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks team that pulled off a surprising 5-1 victory in New Jersey last night.

Dostal played well in his last contest, a 24-save (.960 SV%) performance in a 1-0 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on December 7th, his only start since November 26th. Dostal was seeing a heavy workload to start the season, but a three-game stretch where he allowed at least five goals (0-3-0), posting a .787 SV%, limited him to strictly backup duties. Another strong performance from Dostal could lead to him seeing more action again, but he will be hard-pressed to do so on Friday as the Ducks are +268 road underdogs against the New York Rangers.
Husso allowed four goals on 37 shots (.892 SV%) on Tuesday but was able to secure a 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Blues and will return to the crease on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Husso has been limited to only three starts (2-1-0) in the last seven games for the Red Wings, allowing four or more goals in each, posting a .864 SV% in the process. The Red Wings are +149 home underdogs against a Hurricanes team that has lost four of their last five (1-4-0), scoring more than three goals only once.

Husso will get the nod against his former team as the Red Wings are set to take on the Blues in St. Louis on Tuesday. Husso struggled his last time out, surrendering six goals on 36 shots in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks on Thursday. On the season, Husso owns an 8-4-2 record despite posting a disappointing .886 SV% and a 3.65 GAA. He and the Red Wings are slight underdogs at +115 in St. Louis on Tuesday.
Brossoit was excellent in his last start just over a week ago, saving 42 of 43 shots (.977 SV%) in a 2-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes and will likely return to the crease on Tuesday. Brossoit has had an up-and-down season, posting a 2.65 GAA and .903 SV% through six games (3-2-1), but will have a favourable matchup as the Jets are -200 road favourites against a San Jose Sharks team that scored five or more goals in four straight games (2-1-1).

Poehling did not play the last two games for the Flyers due to an illness but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators. Through 22 games this season, Poehling has six points (2G / 4A) and is averaging a career-high 12:52 time-on-ice. He has spent the majority of this season skating alongside Nicolas Deslauriers and Garnet Hathaway.

Dostal will get the start for the first time since November 26th, breaking a run of four consecutive starts for John Gibson. After a strong start to the season, Dostal has struggled of late, registering an ugly .787 SV% across his last three starts, losing all three decisions. He owns an .878 SV% and a 4.30 GAA on the season. Dostal couldn't ask for a better matchup to get back in the win column on Thursday as the Ducks are set to take on the lowly Blackhawks.
Husso will take the Wings' crease over for the third time in four games after winning his previous start in a 26 save (.867 SV%) victory vs. Montreal. The 28-year-old goaltender has struggled yet again this season much like he did in 2022-23, with his 8-4-1 record, 3.48 GAA and .891 SV%. He will host the San Jose Sharks, who enjoyed a four-goal comeback victory over the New York Islanders last game but are still last in the NHL in both shots per game (24.9) and goals per game (2.0).
