Three days after allowing four goals on 14 shots (.714 SV%) in the Red Wings' season opener, Ville Husso was placed on waivers. The 29-year-old carries a $4.75 million cap hit this season and is expected to be sent to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) after clearing waivers on Monday.

Zellweger will go from the Ducks' top powerplay unit to the press box on Sunday after it was announced he would be a healthy scratch in Vegas. The 21-year-old had only 16 shifts and 13:43 TOI in the Ducks' opening season win and will be replaced by Urho Vaakanainen in game two of the season.

Three days after allowing four goals on 14 shots (.714 SV%) in the Red Wings' season opener, Ville Husso has been placed on waivers. The 29-year-old carries a $4.75 million cap hit this season and is expected to be sent to Grand Rapids if unclaimed on Monday.

The Red Wings enter the 2024-25 campaign without a firm starting netminder. Cam Talbot and Alex Lyon are both in the mix for heavy workloads this season but Husso will get the first opportunity to showcase his talents in their season opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. The 29-year-old Husso spent most of the 2023-24 campaign battling injuries and was unreliable when called upon, posting a 3.55 GAA and .892 SV% in a limited 19-game sample size (9-5-2).

The Blackhawks will start the season with Mrazek as their starting goaltender. The 32-year-old Mrazek was a bright spot for a Blackhawks club in a mostly forgettable 2023-24 campaign. In 56 contests (18-31-4), Mrazek posted a respectable 3.05 GAA and .907 SV%, totals that mirror his career average of 2.80 GAA and .907 SV%. The Blackhawks enter action on Tuesday as +145 road underdogs in a historic first regular season game for the Utah Hockey Club.

Terry missed some action this week but was back at practice on Friday, suggesting that he'll be good-to-go for the Ducks' season opener next Saturday. Terry, who is expected to open the season on a line with Mason McTavish and Trevor Zegras, had 54 points (20G / 34A) in 76 games last season.

Terry will miss Anaheim's practice for a second straight day after it was announced the forward was day-to-day with a lower-body injury. The 27-year-old American right-winger is expected to have a large role yet again on the young Anaheim Ducks, after putting up 20 goals, 54 points and 172 SOG in 76 games played in 2023-24.

After an extremely successful rookie season in 2023-24, it appears Pavel Mintyukov's sophomore campaign will start a bit delayed after it was announced the defenseman is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and will not begin training camp on time. The 20-year-old was Anaheim's 2020 1st-round pick (10th overall) and had four goals, 28 points, 24 PIMs and 88 SOG in 63 games in his rookie campaign last season.

Anaheim's goaltending depth was dealt a tough blow on Thursday as it was announced that Tomas Suchanek would miss the next six to eight months after successfully undergoing surgery to repair a ruptured ACL. The 21-year-old Czech netminder was expected to compete for the starting job in San Diego (AHL) this season after posting a 14-10-5 record, 910 SV% and 2.92 GAA in 29 games with the Gulls in 2023-24.

Anaheim was dealt a tough pre-training camp blow on Thursday as Beckett Sennecke announced he would be out for 6-to-8 weeks after suffering a foot fracture during off-season training. The 18-year-old right-wing prospect was Anaheim's 2024 1st-round selection (3rd overall) and was expected to compete for a roster spot in training camp prior to the injury. In 63 games with Oshawa (OHL) in 2023-24, he had 27 goals and 68 points.

Nesterenko was a fringe roster player for the Ducks in 2024, spending most of the year developing in the AHL. The 2019 sixth-round pick had 37 points (16G / 21A) in 70 games with San Diego (AHL) and had one goal in three games with the Ducks. Nesterenko should make a push for a roster spot out of training camp this fall.

LaCombe turned pro in 2023 following his senior year at the University of Minnesota. He was a full-time NHLer in 2024, appearing in 71 games for the Ducks, collecting two goals and 15 assists (17 points). The 23-year-old should be a key part of the Ducks' blueline again in 2024-25.

Solberg was selected No.23 overall in this year's NHL Draft. The 18-year-old blue liner spent the 2024 season with Vålerenga (Norway), where he had 15 points (5G / 10A) in 42 games. He also represented Norway at the World Juniors, where he had two points (1G / 1A) in five games. It is expected that he will play with Färjestad BK (SHL) in 2025.

Harkins has been a fringe NHLer for the last two seasons, splitting his time between the NHL and AHL. In 2024, he had 12 points (5G / 7A) in 14 AHL games and four assists in 45 NHL games with the Penguins. Now with the Ducks, he'll likely be in the mix as their No.12 forward.
