Gibson (lower body) will start Tuesday's road matchup against St. Louis, according to Jonathan Mills of the Red Wings' official site.
Gibson missed the last two games with a lower-body injury. In 11 appearances this season, he has a 4-5-1 record, a 3.46 GAA and an .860 save percentage. St. Louis (7-8-2) is tied for 21st in the league in the 2026-27 campaign with 2.94 goals per game.

Red Wings' Mason Appleton: Removed from IR
Rotowire
Appleton (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve on Tuesday and is available to play in Tuesday's road clash against the Blues.
Following his appearance in Detroit's first two games of the regular season, Appleton has been sidelined ever since with an undisclosed injury. He's expected to return to the team's fourth line in Tuesday's game against the Blues. The 30-year-old winger has posted a shot on goal and six hits over two games this season.

Red Wings' Marco Kasper: Activated from IR
Rotowire
Kasper (upper body) was removed from the injured reserve list Tuesday.
Following a 17-game absence with an upper-body injury, Kasper is poised to return to the lineup against St. Louis on Tuesday. He hasn't played since Opening Night against the Rangers on Oct. 2, when he posted four shots on net and one hit in 10:50 of ice time.
Red Wings' John Leonard: Sent back to Grand Rapids
Rotowire
Leonard was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.
Leonard spent the last four contests with the Red Wings, where he appeared in three games. During that time, he posted eight shots on net, four hits and a blocked shot. With the returns of Marco Kasper (upper body) and Mason Appleton (undisclosed) looming, Leonard will likely remain in the AHL until the Red Wings experience another bad run of injuries.

Red Wings' Nate Danielson: Returned to minors
Rotowire
Danielson was loaned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.
Danielson has been a healthy scratch in three of Detroit's last four games. He has chipped in two assists, six shots on net, three blocked shots and 14 hits in 13 NHL appearances this season.

Red Wings' Michal Postava: Dropped to AHL
Rotowire
Postava was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.
With John Gibson (lower body) unavailable, Postava has served as Daniil Tarasov's backup for the last two games. Postava's return to the minors could bode well for Gibson's return in Tuesday's road matchup against St. Louis.

Red Wings' Daniil Tarasov: Gets no help in loss Saturday
Rotowire
Tarasov stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Avalanche.
The Avalanche's power play came alive, converting three times against Tarasov. This was the 27-year-old goalie's third straight loss, though it was the first time all season he's allowed more than three goals in a game. He's now 2-3-2 with a 2.10 GAA and a .919 save percentage over eight outings (six starts). Given Tarasov's strong play between the pipes, he could start to chip away at John Gibson's (lower body) starting role once the latter goalie is healthy again. The Red Wings' road trip continues versus the Blues on Tuesday.
Skoog notched three assists in AHL Grand Rapids' 6-4 loss to Rockford on Saturday.
Skoog is up to one goal and seven assists over 14 contests in his first year for the Griffins. He had 37 points in 61 regular-season outings last year, so he's on a similar scoring pace as last year, despite being less effective as a finisher. Skoog will likely spend most or all of 2026-27 in the AHL.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Remains out Saturday
Rotowire
Gibson (lower body) isn't available for Saturday's game in Colorado, per the NHL media site.
Gibson is set to miss his second straight game because of the injury. He has a 4-5-1 record, 3.46 GAA and .860 save percentage in 11 outings in 2026-27. Michal Postava is up with Detroit to serve as the No. 2 option, and Daniil Tarasov should get the bulk of the workload during Gibson's absence.

Red Wings' Daniil Tarasov: In goal Saturday
Rotowire
Tarasov will guard the road goal versus the Avalanche on Saturday, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.
Tarasov will get another start while John Gibson (lower body) is still on the mend. Tarasov stopped 31 of 33 shots in a loss to the Golden Knights in his last outing. The Avalanche will pose a significant challenge in this matchup, so Tarasov will be a risky fantasy option until he starts seeing easier matchups.
Johansson (undisclosed) will be with the Red Wings for their upcoming four-game road trip, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports Friday.
Johansson may not be available at the start of the trip, but the fact that he will be with the team is a good indication that he'll return soon. The 25-year-old blueliner has already missed six games due to his undisclosed injury. In 11 outings prior to getting hurt, Johansson failed to find the back of the net while recording one assist, 14 shots and 12 blocks.

Red Wings' Daniil Tarasov: Strong performance despite defeat
Rotowire
Tarasov stopped 32 of 34 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Tarasov kept Vegas scoreless through 40 minutes and finished with a .941 save percentage, but Trevor Connelly's late winner denied him a positive result. The netminder delivered an encouraging performance despite falling to 2-2-2, particularly with John Gibson (lower body) currently carrying a day-to-day status. Tarasov has posted a save percentage of .920 or higher in his last two starts and in four of his seven outings this season. He's made three starts in a row and should continue to see more playing time until Gibson is ready to return.

Red Wings' Anton Johansson: Scores lone goal in Thursday's loss
Rotowire
Johansson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Johansson broke a scoreless tie early in the third period, converting a rebound off the end boards for his second goal of the season. The young defenseman provided Detroit's only offense, but his contributions weren't enough to prevent another defeat. His limited offensive deployment and modest shot generation leave him with little immediate fantasy appeal outside deeper formats.

Red Wings' John Gibson: Returns to practice Friday
Rotowire
Gibson (lower body) participated in Friday's practice session, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Gibson sustained a lower-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Lightning, and he was unavailable for Thursday's matchup against the Golden Knights. It's not yet clear whether Gibson will be able to suit up for Saturday's road game against Colorado, but he doesn't appear to be facing a long-term absence.
Red Wings' Daniil Tarasov: Slated to start Thursday
Rotowire
Tarasov is expected to start at home against Vegas on Thursday, per Michael Whitaker of The Hockey News.
Tarasov has a 2-1-1 record, 1.74 GAA and .927 save percentage in six outings in 2026-27. He stopped 12 of 13 shots en route to a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay in a relief appearance Tuesday. Vegas has a 10-5-2 record and has averaged 3.35 goals per game this season.

Red Wings' Marco Kasper: Likely to return during upcoming road trip
Rotowire
Head coach Todd McLellan said Thursday that he expects Kasper (upper body) to return at some point during the Red Wings' upcoming four-game road trip, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Kasper has been on injured reserve due to his upper-body injury since early October, but he resumed skating in a non-contact jersey last week. While he'll remain sidelined for Thursday's game against the Golden Knights, he'll likely be able to return at some point during the Red Wings' road trip that begins Saturday in Colorado and concludes Nov. 14 in Tampa Bay.
