The Red Wings have been giving up a plethora of goals lately, outscored 15-9 in their previous three games (0-2-1) and will turn to Lyon between the pipes on Thursday against the New York Islanders. The 28-year-old Lyon has had an up-and-down 2024-25 campaign, posting a 3.14 GAA and .903 SV% in seven games (2-4-0).
Lagesson has 11 points (0G / 11A) in 100 career NHL games but has primarily been an AHL player the past several seasons. In 11 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) this season, the 28-year-old Lagesson has five points (2G / 3A).
Rasmussen did not play on Saturday due to an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup on Monday night against the San Jose Sharks. The 25-year-old Rasmussen is averaging 12:24 time-on-ice and has four points (2G / 2A) in 16 games this season.
Edvinsson did not play on Saturday due to a lower-body injury but will return on Monday night against the San Jose Sharks. The 21-year-old Edvinsson is averaging 20:36 time-on-ice and has six points (2G / 4A) in 16 games this season.
The Wings will turn to Talbot for the 11th time this season when they travel to San Jose to take on the Sharks on Monday. Talbot was unfortunate to get tagged with the loss his last time out, allowing just three goals on 40 shots as Detroit suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Kings on Saturday. The 37-year-old netminder has been outstanding this season, posting a .927 SV% and a 5-3-1 record across ten appearances. Talbot's got a great chance of getting back in the win column on Monday as the Red Wings enter action as -150 favourites over the Sharks.

Albert Johansson will draw back into the Red Wings lineup on Friday, sending Holl to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old Holl is averaging 15:58 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A), 13 blocks, and five hits in 10 games this season.
Justin Holl will be a healthy scratch on Friday, allowing Johansson to re-enter the lineup for the first time since November 8th. The 23-year-old Johansson, in his first NHL season, is averaging 14:19 time-on-ice and has zero points in seven games.
Returning from a lower-body injury, Lyon will be between the pipes for the Red Wings for the first time since October 30th. Before his injury, Lyon allowed 10 combined goals in his previous two outings (0-2-0) but has been reliable most of the season, posting a solid 2.78 GAA and .916 SV% in six games (2-3-0). The Red Wings enter the action on Friday as -147 road favorites against an Anaheim Ducks club that has scored 33 goals this season, the fewest in the NHL.
Motte made his return from an upper-body injury on Saturday, playing 11:25 time-on-ice, but will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Joe Veleno to draw back into the lineup. The 29-year-old Motte has been limited to only five games this season, averaging 11:18 time-on-ice, tallying six hits and 11 shots.
Tyler Motte will serve as a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Veleno to make his return from a one-game absence. The 24-year-old Veleno is averaging 11:14 time-on-ice and has two points (1G / 1A) in 13 games this season.
Alex Lyon (lower body) is nearing a return to the Red Wings lineup, but in the interim, Talbot will continue to hold the reins for the crease in Detroit. Talbot has allowed two or fewer goals in three straight (2-1-0) and has been solid all season for the Red Wings, posting a 2.40 GAA and .926 SV% in eight outings (4-2-1). The Red Wings will face off against a Pittsburgh Penguins club fresh off a disastrous 7-1 loss to the Dallas Stars.
Lyon appears to be nearing a return to the lineup after returning to practice on Tuesday, which will likely result in Ville Husso being sent back down to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL). The Red Wings have lost two straight, splitting starts between Husso and Cam Talbot. They return to action on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
