Johansson was a second-round pick (No.60 overall) in 2019 and will replace Jeff Petry (upper-body) to make his season debut on Saturday. The 23-year-old blueliner spent the 2023-24 season in Grand Rapids (AHL), where he had 21 points (6G / 15A) in 66 games.

With Jeff Petry getting hurt in the Red Wings' season opener, Holl returns to the roster. It's unclear if Holl or Albert Johansson will draw into the Red Wings' lineup vs. the Predators.

Smith registered a -1 plus/minus in 12:13 time-on-ice in the Blackhawks' season opener on Tuesday but will be a healthy scratch on Friday in favor of Andreas Athanasiou. Smith was signed by the Blackhawks in the offseason after playing 75 games with the Dallas Stars in the 2023-24 campaign, scoring 20 points (11G / 9A).

Ville Husso started the first game of the season for the Red Wings, a forgettable performance, allowing four goals on 14 shots (.714 SV%), in a 6-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Talbot entered the contest in relief, saving 12 of 14 shots (.857 SV%), and will get to showcase his talents as the starting netminder on Saturday against the Nashville Predators. The 37-year-old Talbot had a strong 2023-24 campaign with the Los Angeles Kings, posting a 2.50 GAA, .913 SV%, and three shutouts in 54 appearances (27-20-6).

Petry suffered an upper-body injury at some point during the Red Wings' 6-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday, playing only 9:34 time-on-ice. The Red Wings have recalled Justin Holl from the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) to draw into the lineup as Holl's replacement.

It's unclear when or how Petry suffered the injury, but he was unable to join his teammates for the third period. We can expect to receive an update on the injury prior to the Red Wings' game against the Predators on Saturday.

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.

Watson signed a two-way, one-year contract with the Red Wings earlier this week but will likely start the season with the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL). Since his first full NHL season in 2015-16 as a member of the Nashville Predators, Watson has established himself as one of the premier enforcers in the league and will add some grit and toughness to an up-and-coming Red Wings squad whenever he is called up. The 6'4 Watson spent last season with the Tampa Bay Lightning, tallying four points (2G / 2A), 85 hits, and 93 penalty minutes in 33 games.

Campbell will be away from the Red Wings for an indefinite period of time after it was announced Friday that he has entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. The 32-year-old goaltender signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with Detroit in the offseason after being bought out after two eventful seasons in Edmonton.

Just one day after locking up Lucas Raymond, Detroit has completed their UFA signings by extending Moritz Sieder to a seven-year deal worth $8.55M AAV ($59.85M total). The 23-year-old was Detroit's 2019 1st-round pick (6th overall) and has appeared in all 82 games for the Red Wings in every season since his debut in 2021-22. Seider set career highs in goals (9), PIMs (51) and PPG (3) in 2023-24 while putting up 42 points in 82 games played.

After a long offseason of negotiations, Detroit and Jonatan Berggren agreed on a one-year, $875,000 contract extension on Monday. The 24-year-old is entering his third season with Detroit and will hope for a larger role than the 12 games he appeared in in 2023-24. In 79 career games with the Red Wings, he has 17 goals, 34 points and 112 SOG while averaging just 13:04 TOI/GP.

Brandsegg-Nygard was Detroit's 2024 1st round pick (15th overall) and has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Red Wings. The 18-year-old right-winger spent 2023-24 with Mora IK (HA) and had eight goals and 18 ponts in 41 games played.

Detroit added to its already strong goaltending depth on Wednesday as it acquired Gage Alexander from Anaheim for Robby Fabbri and a condition 2025 4th Round Pick. The 22-year-old netminder was drafted by Anaheim in the 5th round (148th overall) of the 2021 Draft and spent the entire 2023-24 season with the Tulsa Oilers (ECHL).

Fresh off of his second career Stanley Cup victory, Vladimir Tarasenko has signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract ($4,750,000 AAV) with the Detroit Red Wings. The 32-year-old is entering his 13th NHL season with his fifth team and had 23 goals, 55 points and a +13 plus/minus in 76 games between Ottawa and Florida in 2023-24.

Motte is a fourth-line penalty killer who has just 60 points (31G / 29A) in 247 games over the last five seasons. Motte won't provide much offence but should help a Red Wings' penalty kill that was 14th in the NHL (79.6%) a season ago.

After turning pro in 2019, following his senior year at Yale University, Snively spent the last six years in the Capitals' organization. During that time, he's scored six goals with five assists (11 points) in 27 NHL games, playing primarily in the AHL. Expect him to start the 2024-25 season with Grand Rapids (AHL).

Chicago continued to add experience to its core on Monday as it signed 34-year-old Craig Smith to a one-year, $1 million contract. The veteran winger is entering his 14th NHL season and had 11 goals, 20 points, 33 PIMs and a +2 plus/minus in 75 games played with Dallas in 2023-24.
