Ville Husso was hurt for the Blues AHL team so acquiring Coreau adds some goaltending depth at the AHL-level. Coreau once looked like a promising young netminder but has struggled mightily at the NHL-level and is 3-6-2 with a 3.57 GAA and .895 SV% in 13 games with San Diego (AHL) this season.
With Ryan Miller leaving Sunday’s game with a lower-body injury, Comeau comes up to be John Gibson’s backup. The former Red Wings netminde has gone 3-6-1 with a 3.66 GAA and .895 SV% in 12 games with San Diego this season. He likely won’t see any NHL action unless Miller is forced to miss an extended period of time.
Coreau was originally scheduled to start in Columbus, but his illness will keep him out. Jimmy Howard will get the nod and Tom McCullum has been recalled to serve as his backup.
Coreau allowed five goals on 31 shots in the Red Wings loss in Colorado March 18th. Since coming up from the AHL, Coreau has gone 0-3-0 with a brutal 4.47 GAA and .856 SV% in four starts. He is a terrible option regardless of matchup right now.

Coreau was pulled after he allowed four gaols on 16 shots in the Red Wings loss in Boston on Tuesday. Despite the rough outing, the Red Wings will go back to Coreau tonight on the tail-end of a back-to-back. Coreau has a career .881 SV% in 15 career NHL games, so he is an incredibly risky option in Columbus.
Coreau has been up with the Red Wings since Petr Mrazek was traded to the Flyers and tonight he will make his season debut and 15th career NHL game. Coreau was 5-4-3 with a 3.46 GAA and .887 SV% with the Red Wings last year and has gone 20-10-4 with a 2.47 GAA and .916 SV% with Grand Rapids (AHL).
