Red Wings' Magnus Hellberg: Set to start Friday
Rotowire
Hellberg will guard the road goal versus the Jets on Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
It's a tough back-to-back for the Red Wings after they won at home Thursday versus the Hurricanes with Alex Nedeljkovic in goal. Hellberg will look to bounce back from getting pulled in his last outing versus the Blues on March 23. The Jets are slumping, which could make Hellberg a viable streaming option.

Red Wings' Alex Chiasson: Slated to return Thursday
Rotowire
Chiasson (undisclosed) is good to play Thursday versus Carolina.
Chiasson wasn't available Tuesday due to the injury. He has five goals and seven points in 11 outings in 2022-23. In his return, Chiasson is projected to skated alongside Jonatan Berggren and Austin Czarnik.
Chiarot (undisclosed) will be back in the lineup against Carolina on Thursday, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.
In addition to Chiarot, the Wings are expected to put Simon Edvinsson back onto the blue line Thursday, which likely means both Robert Hagg and Gustav Lindstrom will serve as healthy scratches. For his part, Chiarot needs just two more points to reach the 20-point threshold for the fourth time in the last five seasons.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Ruled out for next two contests
Rotowire
Husso (lower body) is expected to play again this season but won't be ready to face either Carolina or Winnipeg on Thursday or Friday, respectively, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Prior to getting hurt, Husso was mired in a three-game losing streak during which he notched a 4.46 GAA and .806 save percentage. Until the 28-year-old backstop is given the all-clear, it appears Alex Nedeljkovic will see the majority of the starts, though Magnus Hellberg could also be in the mix.

Rotowire
Nedeljkovic will defend the home cage against Carolina on Thursday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

With Ville Husso (lower body) still sidelined, Magnus Hellberg figures to take the second game of the back-to-back versus Winnipeg on Friday. For his part, Nedeljkvoci appears to be the preferred choice in the crease, at least until Husso is cleared to play.

Red Wings' Robby Fabbri: Officially shut down
Rotowire
The Red Wings announced Wednesday that Fabbri (lower body) will undergo season-ending surgery, but he's expected to be ready for training camp next fall.
Fabbri is facing a 4-to-6-week recovery timeline, which should give him plenty of time to get healthy prior to camp. Unfortunately for the winger, he was limited to just 28 games in 2022-23. When healthy, the Ontario native produced seven goals and nine assists, including eight power-play points. If he can play a full 82-game season -- which he has yet to do -- Fabbri could be capable of producing upwards of 40-plus points.
