As was the case on Sunday, Johansson will remain in the Red Wings lineup in favor of Erik Gustafsson. Johansson played 15:06 time-on-ice in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, recording a -1 plus/minus and two hits.

The Red Wings rank fifth-worst in the league in terms of xGA/60 but their goaltending has kept them afloat at times, most notably when Lyon has been between the pipes. The 31-year-old Lyon is boasting a sensational 2.05 GAA and .940 SV% through five outings (2-2-0). That said, the Red Wings have lost two straight, outscored 8-5, and rank sixth-worth in the league offensively with only 25 goals in nine games. The Red Wings will face off against a Winnipeg Jets club that lost their first game of the season on Monday (8-1-0).

For the fourth straight game, despite allowing 12 goals combined in the previous three (0-3-0), the Blackhawks will roll with Mrazek in the crease on Monday against the Colorado Avalanche. Through seven games this season (2-5-0), Mrazek is sporting a pedestrian 3.20 GAA and .893 SV%. The Blackhawks enter the action on Monday as +192 road underdogs against an Avalanche club that is riding a five-game winning streak.

The Red Wings' three-game winning streak was snapped on Saturday, and the team will turn to Talbot in the crease against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday for the tail end of their back-to-back. Talbot has been wildly inconsistent through three starts this season (2-1-0), including a 42-save shutout and allowing five goals on 19 shots (.737 SV%).

Compher did not play in Thursday's 5-3 win over the New Jersey Devils but could be an option on Saturday afternoon against the Buffalo Sabres. The 29-year-old Compher has four points (2G / 2A) and a +2 plus/minus through six games this season.

After being outscored 15-8 in their first four games (1-3-0), the Red Wings have eased into some stability, outscoring their opposition 11-5 during a three-game winning streak. The Red Wings will turn Lyon between the pipes on Saturday for his third start in their last four contests.

The Blackhawks will turn to Mrazek between the pipes for a second consecutive game and for the sixth time in eight contests to start the season. Mrazek had a solid start to the season, posting a .911 SV% in his first four games (2-2-0), but allowing six goals on 30 shots (.800 SV%) in his last outing, a 6-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. The Blackhawks, outscored 10-5 in their previous two games (0-2-0), enter the action on Friday as +154 home underdogs against a Nashville Predators club that recorded their first win of the season on Tuesday (1-5-0).

Compher was a surprise scratch for Thursday's game, with his absence not being announced prior to warmups. The Red Wings will opt to dress seven defensemen as a result of Compher's absence.

Despite a spectacular 30-save performance for Alex Lyon in a 1-0 win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday, the Red Wings will turn to Talbot between the pipes on Thursday against the New Jersey Devils. Talbot's first start of the season was a sensational 42-save shutout victory but, as a whole, has a less impressive 3.31 GAA and .907 SV% in three appearances (1-1-0). The Red Wings enter action on Thursday as +138 home underdogs against a Devils club that has allowed 14 goals in their last two games (0-1-1).

Holl will re-enter the lineup for Tuesday's game on Long Island after sitting out Saturday's game in Nashville. Olli Maatta will sit in his place.

The Red Wings ended a two-game losing skid where they were outscored 9-3 with a 5-2 win over the Nashville Predators on Saturday with Lyon between the pipes and will ride him again on Tuesday against the New York Islanders. Lyon has saved 52 of the last 54 shots he's faced (.963 SV%) and could secure more regular playing time with another strong performance. The Red Wings enter action on Tuesday as +146 road underdogs against an Islanders club that will be without Anthony Duclair (undisclosed), one of their biggest offensive threats.

Mrazek had the night off in the Blackhawks' last outing, a 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, but will return to the crease for the fourth time in their last five games on Tuesday night against the Vancouver Canucks. The 32-year-old Mrazek has had an impressive start to the 2023-24 campaign, posting a 2.53 GAA and .911 SV% through four games (2-2-0). The Blackhawks enter action on Tuesday as +157 home underdogs against the Canucks.
