Husso was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Saturday.
Husso will return to the minors after joining the Red Wings from the minors on an emergency basis. Alex Lyon suited up and made a relief appearance in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning, which was enough to prove his health in his return from an upper-body injury. During his recent NHL stint, Husso allowed five goals on 23 shots against the Sharks on Tuesday in his lone appearance.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Season continues down garbage chute
Rotowire
Husso made 18 saves in a 6-3 loss to San Jose on Tuesday.
He allowed five goals. Husso's game has gone down the garbage chute this season. He has a single win in eight starts, and his 3.69 GAA and .866 save percentage are the worst of his career. One word. Avoid. OK three more words. At all cost.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Starting versus San Jose
Rotowire
Husso will be in goal at home Tuesday versus the Sharks, according to Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site.
Husso was brought up from AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday on an emergency basis due to Alex Lyon dealing with an upper-body injury. Husso hasn't made a start with the Wings since Dec. 14. The Finnish netminder has struggled in 2024-25, owning a 1-4-2 record, .877 save percentage and 3.47 GAA. The Sharks sit 30th in the NHL with 2.53 goals per game.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Rises to NHL
Rotowire
Husso was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday under emergency conditions.
Husso's promotion comes after Alex Lyon (upper body) sustained an injury in Tuesday's game versus the Senators. Cam Talbot will likely take on a starting role while Lyon is out -- the Red Wings don't have a back-to-back within the next week, so Husso may not get a start if Lyon's injury only causes a brief absence.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Returns to AHL
Rotowire
Husso was sent to AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday.
Cam Talbot hasn't returned from his lower-body injury, but Husso's demotion suggests Talbot might be an option for the Red Wings' upcoming back-to-back set against Montreal on Friday and Saturday. Husso has a 1-4-2 record, 3.46 GAA and .877 save percentage in eight appearances with Detroit in 2024-25. He's been far better with Grand Rapids, posting a 1.58 GAA and a .944 save percentage in five outings.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: First win of season
Rotowire
Husso made 23 saves in a 4-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.
Husso benefitted from a committed team in front of him and made some key stops to secure his first win of 2024-25. He has a 1-4-2 record with a 3.47 GAA and an .877 save percentage through eight appearances. Husso must have more performances like this one with Cam Talbot (lower body) sidelined and Alex Lyon (lower body) on the IR.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Set to start against Toronto
Rotowire
Husso will serve as the starting goaltender for Saturday's home game against the Maple Leafs, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.
The Red Wings are dealing with several injuries among their goaltenders, as Alex Lyon (lower body) remains on injured reserve, while Cam Talbot exited Friday's practice session due to a lower-body injury and won't be available Saturday. As a result, Husso will tend the twine at home Saturday, while Detroit will need to call up another netminder to serve as a backup. It's not yet clear whether Talbot will be sidelined beyond Saturday, but the Red Wings hope that Lyon will be able to return at home against the Flyers on Wednesday.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: In goal Monday
Rotowire
Husso will get the starting nod on the road versus the Sabres on Monday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Husso still hasn't secured a win this season, going 0-4-2 with a 3.39 GAA in six outings. Still, with Cam Talbot (lower body) and Alex Lyon (lower body) both sidelined, the Red Wings don't have much choice but to continue rolling with Husso in the crease -- unless they want to give Sebastian Cossa his first NHL start.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Extends losing streak
Rotowire
Husso stopped 23 of 25 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Husso has been forced to step into a starting role with Cam Talbot (lower body) sidelined, and the results haven't been encouraging. The 29-year-old Finnish netminder has yet to win a start this season and has dropped the four straight appearances since Dec. 1, going 0-2-2 with a 2.78 GAA and a .909 save percentage in that span.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Facing Avalanche
Rotowire
Husso will guard the home goal against Colorado on Saturday, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com.
Husso is coming off a 2-1 loss to the Senators on Thursday, turning aside 30 shots. He is 0-3-2 with a 3.69 GAA and an .877 save percentage through five appearances this season. Colorado ranks 12th in the league with 3.26 goals per game in 2024-25.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Extends winless streak
Rotowire
Husso stopped 30 of 32 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.
Husso has started in five of the nine games he's been available for this season, but the results haven't been encouraging. He's gone 0-3-2 with a 3.69 GAA and an .877 save percentage in his five outings, so the early returns aren't positive. Perhaps the lone positive aspect is that he's posted a save percentage above .900 in his last two starts, but even with his recent success, he's far from being a reliable fantasy alternative.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Starting against Senators
Rotowire
Husso will defend the visiting crease in Ottawa on Thursday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.
Husso will make his third straight appearance after replacing the injured Cam Talbot (lower body) against Vancouver on Dec. 1. Husso is still looking for his first win of the season, as he is 0-2-2 with a 4.22 GAA and an .856 save percentage in four NHL games this season. The Senators have found the back of the net 75 times in 24 games (3.13 goals per game).

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Falls to Bruins in OT
Rotowire
Husso made 32 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Boston.
The Red Wings twice grabbed one-goal leads, but Husso couldn't make them stick, and he had little chance on Pavel Zacha's OT winner. With Alex Lyon (lower body) on IR and Cam Talbot (lower body) sidelined until at least the weekend, Husso figures to hold down the fort in the Detroit crease in the short term. The 29-year-old goalie is still looking for his first win of the season in the NHL, going 0-2-2 in four outings with a 4.22 GAA and .856 save percentage.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Makes relief appearance Sunday
Rotowire
Husso allowed three goals on 18 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Husso was forced into action after Cam Talbot exited the game with a lower-body injury. Husso could be Detroit's de facto No. 1 netminder in the short term if Talbot is sidelined for an extended period of time, and Alex Lyon (lower body) has already been ruled out for the team's upcoming two-game road trip. Husso has an 0-2-1 record, .818 save percentage and 4.90 GAA through three appearances this season.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Called up by Detroit
Rotowire
Husso was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday, Sean Shapiro of EP Rinkside reports.
Husso was sent to the minors in mid-November, but he'll rejoin the NHL club ahead of Wednesday's home game against the Flames. Alex Lyon (undisclosed) appeared to tweak something during Wednesday's morning skate, so Husso will be available as Cam Talbot's backup.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Sent down Wednesday
Rotowire
Husso was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday.
This move suggests Alex Lyon (lower body) will be cleared to at least serve as the backup for Friday's game in Anaheim. Husso made one appearance during this stint in the NHL, allowing three goals on 23 shots in a 4-0 loss to the Rangers last Saturday. Lyon and Cam Talbot will be the Red Wings' NHL goaltending duo moving forward.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Gets no help in return to Wings
Rotowire
Husso turned aside 20 of 23 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Rangers, with New York's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
Making his first NHL appearances since Oct. 10, Husso got very little help from his teammates as the Blueshirts scored on the power play midway through the first period and never looked back. Husso was called up from AHL Grand Rapids on an emergency basis with Alex Lyon (lower body) unavailable and Cam Talbot having played the night before, and he'll likely stick around as Talbot's backup until Lyon is cleared for action. Husso has given up seven goals on 37 shots for Detroit this season, but he's posted a 1.23 GAA and .958 save percentage in three appearances for Grand Rapids.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Tending twine Saturday
Rotowire
Husso will be between the home pipes against the Rangers on Saturday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Husso was recalled under emergency conditions after Alex Lyon, who was originally scheduled to start versus the Maple Leafs on Friday, suffered a lower-body injury. With a back-to-back on the schedule, the Red Wings will turn to Cam Talbot for Friday's contest before pressing Husso into service versus the Rangers on Saturday. In his lone NHL appearance this year, the 29-year-old HUsso gave up four goals on 14 shots (.714 save percentage) before being pulled from the crease versus the Penguins on Oct. 10. Once Lyon is cleared to return, Husso will likely be shipped back to the minors.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Called up from minors
Rotowire
Husso was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids under emergency conditions Friday.
According to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press, the Red Wings are dealing with a flu bug going around the team. As such, the decision to bring up Husso could be an indication that Alex Lyon, who is scheduled to start, or Cam Talbot is under the weather ahead of Friday's matchup with Toronto. Either way, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting Husso to feature against the Leafs on Friday -- though with a back-to-back, it's not out of the question that he would be pressed into service versus the Rangers at home Saturday.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Lands on waivers
Rotowire
Husso was placed on waivers Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Husso allowed four goals on 14 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh before being replaced by Cam Talbot early in the second period. If the 29-year-old Husso goes unclaimed from the waiver wire, he could head to AHL Grand Rapids. Detroit still has Talbot and Alex Lyon on the roster to occupy the top two goalie spots.
