Luneau has been assigned to the San Diego Gulls of the AHL for a conditioning stint after being a healthy scratch for the last six games. The 53rd overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft is playing his first professional season and has zero points through two games while averaging 15:29 time-on-ice with the Ducks.
Husso is the likely starter for the Red Wings on Saturday and will attempt to get his team back in the win column as they are in the midst of a 1-3-1 run. Husso has registered a very pedestrian 3.28 GAA and .900 SV% but has salvaged a respectable 4-2-1 record as the team has provided him with ample goal support when he is between the pipes, scoring 29 goals in those seven contests. However, the Red Wings take on a Boston Bruins team on Saturday that makes scoring very difficult as they rank first in the league defensively, allowing only 1.60 goals per game.
Dostal, who was already seeing a fair share of action, alternating starts with John Gibson, should see a heavy workload moving forward as Gibson is out indefinitely with an undisclosed injury. In five games this season (4-1-0), Dostal has been impressive, posting a 2.79 GAA and .921 SV%. The Ducks, who are off to a surprising 5-4-0 start are +116 home underdogs against an Arizona Coyotes team coming off an 8-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Husso will start on Monday against the New York Islanders as the Red Wings look to snap out of a three-game losing streak. Despite a positive 3-2-1 record, Husso has struggled this season, recording a 3.33 GAA and .894 SV%. The Islanders have been their usual, stingy selves defensively but have been outscored 19-18 on the season, despite a strong 4-2-1 start. The Islanders, who are -158 home favourites against the Red Wings, were shut out last season in their only matchup against Husso (24 saves).
Poehling will be a healthy scratch for the first time this season, allowing Morgan Frost to return to the Flyers' lineup after being a healthy scratch for six consecutive games. Poehling has a -1 plus/minus rating and zero points while averaging 11:32 time-on-ice through eight games this season.
Granlund will be available on Sunday for the first time since he suffered a lower-body injury in the team's season opener on October 12th. Granlund was acquired in the off-season as part of the three-team trade that sent Erik Karlsson to the Penguins. Granlund registered ten goals and 31 assists in 79 games split between the Predators and Penguins last season.

Granlund registered ten goals and 31 assists in 79 games split between the Predators and Penguins last season.
Brossoit allowed four goals on 26 shots in the Jets' loss to the Golden Knights on October 19th. It was a rough season debut for Brossoit, who will give Connor Hellebuyck a night off on Saturday. Montreal is 21st in xGF/60 (3.02) and the Jets are -147 favourites, making Brossoit a decent spot-start option.
Dostal stopped 35 of 37 shots in the Ducks' win in Columbus on Tuesday. Dostal has been sensational to start the 2023-24 season, going 2-1-0 with a. 2.34 GAA and .929 SV%. The 23-year-old will look to keep things rolling on Saturday afternoon against a Flyers team that is 3-0-0 while outscoring their opponents 12-to-3.

Husso allowed five goals on 38 shots in the Red Wings' overtime loss to the Kraken on Tuesday. Husso hasn't been great to start the season, posting a 3.38 GAA and .893 SV% in his first five games. Tonight he'll face a Bruins team that is 14th in xGF/60 (3.20) and GF/60 (3.13).
Carlsson returns to the Ducks lineup on Thursday after sitting out the last two games as the team attempts to ease his workload early in the season. The has a goal, six SOG, two PIMs, and a +2 plus/minus in two games thus far in 2023-24 while playing over 20 minutes a night.
Dostal will get the nod on Tuesday after impressing in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Coyotes. Dostal stopped 25 of the 27 shots he faced in the losing effort, giving himself an impressive .919 SV% and 2.55 GAA in two starts so far this season. The Ducks will need another strong performance from Dostal tonight if they're going to pick up a road victory over a Blue Jackets team that comes in having won two straight.
The Red Wings are off to an excellent 5-1-0 start to the season, averaging a league-best 5.00 goals scored per game. Husso hasn't been spectacular, recording a 3.04 GAA and .901 SV% in four games (3-1-0), but has been much better in his last two contests with a 2.50 GAA and .929 SV%. He will look to continue his hot streak tonight as the Red Wings host a Seattle Kraken team that ranks third-worst in the league offensively, averaging only 1.83 goals scored per game.
Greer has one assist, six SOG, and four PIMs in six games played so far this season but will be a healthy scratch Tuesday as Calgary takes on the New York Rangers. The 26-year-old left-winger is in his seventh NHL season after he was claimed off waivers from Boston on October 9th, 2023. Greer will be replaced by Dryden Hunt Tuesday, who is making his Calgary debut.
Carlsson is expected to occasionally sit out as he acclimates to the NHL and will not be in the Ducks' lineup Tuesday as they take on the Columbus Blue Jackets. It is a bit of a letdown as fans will have to wait to see the 2023 second-overall pick take on Adam Fentilli (2023 third-overall pick). Carlsson has a goal, six SOG, two PIMs, and a +2 plus/minus in two games thus far in 2023-24 while averaging an impressive 20:16 TOI.
Husso is the likely starter for the red-hot Red Wings on Tuesday. The Red Wings are off to an excellent 5-1-0 start to the season, averaging a league-best 5.00 goals scored per game.

The Ducks said the move is not performance based as they are aiming to ease the 18-year-old's workload early in the season. The second overall pick in last summer's NHL Entry Draft has impressed in his two games so far this season. He's scored one goal on six shots on goal and is playing over 20 minutes a night, so it perhaps shouldn't be a surprise that Anaheim is expressing caution by sitting their budding superstar on the tail-end of a back-to-back. Fantasy managers can expect Carlsson to return the lineup for Tuesday's game in Columbus.
Schueneman will provide the Avalanche with some depth on their blue-line ahead of a three-game road trip, though there's no indication he will draw into the lineup at this point. The 28-year-old blue-liner registered one assist in seven games with the Canadiens last season.
Dostal stopped 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%) for a win in his only start of the season vs. Carolina and will take the crease Saturday in a matinee vs. Arizona.
