The Red Wings goalie carousel to start the season will continue on Saturday against the Nashville Predators when Lyon returns to the crease. Detroit has a 1-3-0 record to start the season and they have allowed three or more goals in three games and are desperate to find consistent goaltending. Lyon allowed three goals on 27 shots (.889 SV%) in his only start of the season but was excellent in relief of Cam Talbot in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers when he saved all 15 shots he faced.

Quinn played 12:27 time-on-ice in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins, his lowest ice time of the season thus far. Through five games this season, Quinn only has one points (0G / 1A), five shots on goal, four hits, and -4 plus/minus rating.

Levi has outperformed Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen early in the 2024-25 season, being responsible for their only win, but the team has opted to alternate starting goalies thus far. As such, Levi will likely start in between the pipes in the Sabres' sixth game of the season on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 22-year-old Levi has a 2.57 GAA and .919 SV% in two games this season (1-1-0). The Sabres enter action on Thursday as -141 road favorites against the Blue Jackets.

Kevin Labanc will watch Thursday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres from the press box as a healthy scratch, allowing Danforth to make his season debut. The 31-year-old Danforth played a career-high 71 games last season, scoring 26 points (10G / 16A).

With Derek Forbort (personal) being away from the team, Vancouver has recalled Brannstrom from the Abbortsford Canucks (AHL).

Brannstrom spent last season with the Ottawa Senators, tallying 20 points (3G / 17A) in 76 games.

Sheahan has decided to hang up his skates after 637 games in the NHL. The 32-year-old played with six different teams over the course of his career, most notably a seven-year stint with the Detroit Red Wings from the 2011-12 to 2017-18 season. He was a first-round selection by the Red Wings in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft and retires with 194 career points (74G / 120A).

The Sabres have alternated netminders through their first four games this season, a trend that will continue into game five when Luukkonen takes the crease against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Between Luukkonen and Devon Levi, Luukkonen has been the less impressive of the two goalies for the Sabres but was serviceable in his last outing when he saved 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in a 3-1 losing effort to the Los Angeles Kings. The Sabres enter action as slight +105 road underdogs against the Penguins.

Timothy Liljegren will make his season debut on Wednesday and replaced Timmins in the lineup. The 26-year-old Timmins, in his third season with the Maple Leafs, has 25 points (3G / 22A) in 53 combined games.

In their third game of the season, the Red Wings will turn to Lyon in net, marking a different starting goalie in each game. That said, with Ville Husso placed on waivers on Sunday, the Red Wings will likely roll with Lyon and Cam Talbot between the pipes for the time being. After being a journeyman for most of his career, the 31-year-old Lyon has established himself as a reliable netminder in the NHL, posting a 3.01 GAA and .906 SV% across 59 appearances (30-22-7) over the past two seasons as a member of the Red Wings and Florida Panthers. The Red Wings enter action on Monday as +187 road underdogs against the New York Rangers.

Levi allowed three goals on 37 shots in a loss to the Devils in Prague. It was an inspiring start to the season for Levi, who struggled with the Sabres in 2024. Tonight he'll face a Panthers team that will be without Aleksander Barkov. Buffalo are +118 home underdogs.

Danforth underwent off-season wrist surgery, did not participate in training camp, and missed the first game of the season. The 31-year-old Danforth has 43 career points (22G / 21A) in 122 games.
