Talbot will protect the road goal versus the Blue Jackets on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Talbot has lost his last three outings, giving up 11 goals on 68 shots in that 0-2-1 span. The 38-year-old will look to right the ship against Columbus, who has 16 goals scored while going 2-1-3 over the last six games.
Red Wings' Albert Johansson: Ends slump with assist
Rotowire
Johansson notched an assist and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Bruins.
Johansson ended a 19-game point drought when he set up James van Riemsdyk's first-period goal. During that span, Johansson also carried a minus-14 rating. He's now at three assists, 22 shots on net, 27 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 27 appearances. While his place in the lineup is steady, the 24-year-old's lack of production across the board will keep him off most fantasy rosters.

Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Pots goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Chiarot scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Bruins.
Chiarot is on a bit of a hot stretch for a shutdown defenseman, racking up four points over his last six outings. The blueliner is up to eight points, 34 shots on net, 63 hits, 59 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 27 appearances this season. Chiarot won't sustain this pace, but his production in the physical categories has been higher than in recent years, which could have appeal in banger leagues.

Red Wings' James van Riemsdyk: Opens scoring Tuesday
Rotowire
Van Riemsdyk scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Bruins.
Van Riemsdyk has scored three times over the last four games, though he's also been a scratch once in that span. He has frequently sat out one game of back-to-back sets since the Red Wings have enough forwards on the roster to rotate him out for rest. The 36-year-old winger is at four goals, one assist, 29 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 21 appearances in a bottom-six role.

Red Wings' Patrick Kane: Pockets two helpers Tuesday
Rotowire

The veteran winger had a hand in a Moritz Seider tally in the first period and what proved to be the game-winner by Lucas Raymond early in the third. Kane's return from an upper-body injury in early November has provided a boost to the entire Detroit offense, and over his last 11 games, he's collected a goal and 11 points.

Red Wings' Lucas Raymond: Two points including GWG
Rotowire
Raymond scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Bruins.
After helping to set up a Ben Chiarot tally late in the second period, Raymond completed a tic-tac-toe passing play early in the third to give the Red Wings a 5-2 lead. The performance extended Raymond's point streak to six games. Over his last 12 contests, he's broken out for five goals and 17 points. Despite the surge in production, Raymond's power-play tally Tuesday was just his second of the season and his first since Oct. 11.

Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Shaken up after hits
Rotowire
Rasmussen (undisclosed) didn't finish Tuesday's game versus the Bruins, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Head coach Todd McLellan didn't seem overly concerned about Rasmussen's status, but the forward will be checked on in the morning. He can be considered day-to-day for now, and an update on his status should be available prior to Thursday's game versus the Blue Jackets.
Leonard was named the AHL Player of the Month for November on Monday.
Leonard had nine goals and seven assists over 10 games for AHL Grand Rapids in November. He's been a massive performer this season with 24 points in 15 games to co-lead the AHL through the end of November. That's an effort that has helped the Griffins to a 16-1-0-1 record through 18 contests overall, the best record in the league. Leonard should be in consideration for a call-up if the Red Wings need a forward.

Red Wings' John Gibson: In goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Gibson will be between the home pipes Tuesday versus the Bruins, according to Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.
Gibson hasn't won a game since Oct. 28 -- he's mired in a terrible stretch right now but will attempt to turn the tide Tuesday against a team missing some key players. Charlie McAvoy (face) and David Pastrnak (undisclosed) won't be available for the Bruins, which plays into Gibson's favor. Boston beat Detroit 3-2 in a shootout Saturday, but Cam Talbot was in goal for that game.
Appleton (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup against Boston on Tuesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Appleton didn't participate in Monday's practice, which was initially reported as a personal matter by Khan because his wife is expecting to give birth. In any event, Appleton won't play against the Bruins due to an injury and is day-to-day. He has collected three goals, nine points, 28 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 28 hits across 26 appearances this season. Elmer Soderblom or Jonatan Berggren will replace Appleton in Tuesday's lineup.

He's done everything he can at this point to earn a call-up, and continued strong play could help him push for regular NHL minutes as soon as 2026-27.
