Detroit Red Wings News

Tarasov was 4-5-0 with a .871 SV% and 4.07 GAA with the Cleveland Monsters (AHL) and has been recalled to Columbus on an emergency basis Friday. The 23-year-old returns to Columbus where he was 2-9-1 with a .908 SV% and 3.28 GAA earlier in the season.

Gibson allowed four goals on 30 shots (.867 SV%) for his second loss in three games as he was defeated by Seattle in his last start. The 29-year-old has improved on a nightmarish season with his solid play of late, leading to his 13-24-7 record, 3.89 GAA and .902 SV%. He will face the Calgary Flames, who have won their last two-games and are second in the NHL in shots per game (35.4).

Englund has three assists, 30 PIMs and 26 SOG through 41 games with both Colorado and Chicago but will be a healthy scratch Wednesday as they take on the Detroit Red Wings. Ian Mitchell's return from injury (hamstring) is the reason for the 27-year-old heading to the press box.

Appleton has missed the Jets' last two games with an upper-body injury and will return to the Winnipeg lineup Monday as they take on San Jose. The 27-year-old has two goals, seven assists, 32 SOG, six PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 22 games played before the injury.

Rasmussen left the Red Wings' game vs. Tampa Bay on February 25th after just 2:13 TOI due to a knee injury and will likely miss the remainder of the 2022-23 season. It is a tough loss for the 23-year-old, who was having a career year with 10 goals, 19 assists, 88 SOG, 43 PIMS and a +2 plus/minus through 56 games prior to the injury.

Gibson stopped 51 of 53 shots (.962 SV%) for his second-straight 40+ save victory as he beat Carolina in his previous start. The 29-year-old has improved his numbers as of late, but still has an ugly 12-23-6 record, 3.96 GAA and .902 SV%. He will take on the Washington Capitals, who have lost seven of their last eight games after a 7-4 loss to Buffalo last game.

Appleton has two goals, seven assists, 32 SOG, six PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 22 games played and will not play Tuesday vs. Los Angeles. He is day-to-day for the time being while dealing with a minor injury.

Englund was dealt for Jack Johnson over the weekend and will make his Blackhawks' debut Monday vs. the Ducks. The 27-year-old had three assists, 20 SOG, and 26 PIMs through 36 games played with the Avalanche.

Raymond last played on February 9th due to a lower-body injury and was activated from the injured reserve Monday. The 20-year-old has 15 goals, 18 assists, 87 SOG, 22 PIMs and a -10 plus/minus through 50 games prior to the injury.

Appleton has two goals, seven assists, 32 SOG, six PIMs and a -2 plus/minus through 22 games played but is very doubtful to play Tuesday vs. Los Angeles.

With all of the injuries in Colorado this season, Englund settled in as their No.6 defenseman, posting three assists in 36 games. Despite putting together a solid campaign the Avalanche elected to bring back Johnson, who won a Stanley Cup with them last season. Englund should have a chance to earn more playing time in Colorado.
