Detroit Red Wings goaltender Ville Husso (lower body) has been loaded to the American Hockey League's Grand Rapids Griffins for a conditioning stint. The 29-year-old has been limited to just 19 games with the Red Wings this season due to lower-body injuries. He suffered an original lower-body injury in a Dec. 18 contest against the Ducks, forcing him out until Feb. 13. However, he left that game against the Oilers after just 8:48 due to an aggravation of the ailment and hasn't appeared in a game since. The former St. Louis Blues netminder struggled to a 3.55 goals-against average and an .892 save percentage in the NHL this season while Alex Lyon has taken over the crease in Husso's absence.

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Ville Husso (lower body) won't be available Thursday versus Vancouver and is considered week-to-week. Making his first appearance since Dec. 18, Husso was hurt against Edmonton on Tuesday, and it will now take a while before he will be available again. The Finnish netminder has put together a 9-5-2 record in 2023-24, allowing 3.55 goals with a .892 save percentage. Alex Lyon has received most of the starts in recent months and will continue to carry a heavy load.

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Ville Husso (lower body) was activated off IR and loaned to AHL Grand Rapids to begin a conditioning stint. Husso hasn't played since December 18 due to a lower-body injury, so he will get some time in the minors before resuming his role in Detroit. Unfortunately for Husso and his fantasy owners, he might have lost the starter job to Alex Lyon while he was out. Lyon has gone 11-6-1 with a 2.67 GAA, .917 SV%, and 8.8 GSAA. On the other hand, Husso is 9-5-2 with a 3.53 GAA, .893 SV%, and -6.0 GSAA. Fantasy owners should hold Husso for now, but he has a short leash.

Detroit Red Wings goalie Ville Husso (lower body) was removed from Monday's game in the first period due to an apparent lower-body injury. Husso had to be helped off the ice and is not expected to be ready for Wednesday's game, which is bad news considering that is two days away and the team already assumes he won't be good to go. With Alex Lyon set to miss some time, Husso would've been in line for the majority of starts, but they will now go to James Reimer. Reimer is a solid add in leagues where bulk matters.
