Talbot returned from a four-game absence on Thursday and saved 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, but tweaked something at practice on Friday and will not be able to play on Saturday. Ville Husso will get the start between the pipes as Alex Lyon (lower body) is still sidelined.

Cam Talbot was back in the crease on Thursday but tweaked something at practice on Friday and will not be able to play on Saturday. Husso has a 3.74 GAA and .870 SV% in seven appearances (0-4-2) but has been better since his most recent call-up from the AHL, posting a .899 SV% in four appearances (0-2-1).

Talbot missed the last four games but will start for the first time since December 1st. Talbot had an excellent start to the season, going 5-2-1 with a 2.34 GAA, .927 SV% and one shutout in his first nine games. However, things haven't been quite as good recently, as he's gone 1-3-1 with a 3.15 GAA and .895 SV% in his last six games. On Thursday, Talbot and the Red Wings are +119 underdogs in Philadelphia.

Albert Johansson will draw back into the Red Wings' lineup on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers, sending Holl to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old Holl is averaging a career-low 14:47 time-on-ice, recording three points (1G / 2A), 28 blocks, and 11 hits in 21 games this season.

Justin Holl will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers, allowing Johansson to re-enter the lineup. The 23-year-old Johansson is in his first NHL season and is averaging 13:08 time-on-ice, recording one points (0G / 1A), 20 blocks, and 12 hits in 14 games.

With Christian Fischer returning to the Red Wings' lineup on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers, Motte will be the odd-man out as a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old Motte is averaging 12:08 time-on-ice, recording one point (1G / 0A) and 18 hits in 16 games this season.

Tyler Motte will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers, allowing Fischer to re-enter the lineup. The 27-year-old Fischer is averaging 11:31 time-on-ice and has three points (1G / 2A) in 25 games this season.

Talbot missed the last four games but will likely start for the first time since December 1st. Talbot had an excellent start to the season, going 5-2-1 with a 2.34 GAA, .927 SV% and one shutout in his first nine games. However, things haven't been quite as good recently, as he's gone 1-3-1 with a 3.15 GAA and .895 SV% in his last six games. On Thursday, Talbot and the Red Wings are +119 underdogs in Philadelphia.

Cossa's reassignment to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) likely indicates that Cam Talbot (lower body) is ready to return to the Red Wings' crease. The 22-year-old Cossa was the 15th overall pick of the Red Wings in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and is sporting a 2.21 GAA and .925 SV% in 14 games (9-4-1) with the Griffins (AHL) this season. He got his first taste of NHL action earlier this week, entering a contest in relief of Ville Husso, saving 12 of 14 shots (.857 SV%) in a shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres.

With Cam Talbot and Alex Lyon still sidelined with lower-body injuries, the Red Wings will roll with Husso as their starting goalie for the fourth consecutive game. The 29-year-old Husso was demoted to the AHL earlier this season but has played well in this most recent call-up, allowing three or fewer goals in three straight (0-2-1), posting a .924 SV%. The Red Wings enter Monday's contest as +108 road underdogs against a Buffalo Sabres club amid a season-worst six-game losing skid (0-4-2).
