The 20-year-old got his first taste of NHL action in Saturday's season finale against Buffalo. He was brought up under emergency conditions and is still a few years away from being full-time NHL ready.

Red Wings' Kaden Fulcher: Appears in relief

Fulcher entered the game in the second when Jimmy Howard declared he was unfit to continue. Howard had tweaked a groin in the first but tried to play through it. Fulcher made the jump all the way from the ECHL.

Red Wings' Kaden Fulcher: Rises to big club

This essentially rules out Jonathan Bernier (upper body) for Sunday's game versus the Bruins, as Fulcher will likely back up Jimmy Howard. Fulcher hasn't played a game in the AHL this season, instead spending his time with ECHL Toledo and accruing an .899 save percentage over 28 games. The Red Wings opted to not bring up one of their normal goalies from AHL Grand Rapids -- Harri Sateri and Patrik Rybar -- since the minor-league club is fighting for a playoff spot and has a game Sunday as well.
