Larkin has been excellent for the Red Wings this season but will miss approximately two weeks due to a lower-body injury, a devasting blow for a team amid a playoff race. Larkin leads the Red Wings with 54 points (26G / 28A) in 55 games while averaging 3.0 shots per night. J.T. Compher will likely be the center iceman seeing the greatest increase in deployment during Larkin's absence.

Lyon will get the chance to redeem himself after a poor showing in his last outing. On Thursday, Lyon allowed four goals on 26 shots (.846 SV%) in a 5-3 loss to the New York Islanders, snapping his four-game winning streak where he allowed only eight total goals. He will face off against the Florida Panthers, the team he made a name for himself with last season, and saved 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) against in a 3-2 victory on January 17th.

Talbot will be back between the pipes for the Kings for the second straight game on Thursday as he tries to wrestle back control of the starting job from David Rittich. Talbot took the loss in Calgary on Tuesday, allowing three goals on 36 shots in the 4-2 defeat. Despite the result, it was another promising start for Talbot, who's snapped out of his prolonged cold streak with a .949 SV% over his last three contests. He draws a difficult matchup on Thursday with the Kings being +125 underdogs in Vancouver.

The red-hot Red Wings will turn to Lyon between the pipes on Thursday as they attempt to extend their six-game winning streak. Lyon has been terrific lately, posting an impressive 2.00 GAA and .931 SV% across his last four outings (4-0-0). Lyon and the Red Wings will face off against a New York Islanders club with a 2-3-2 record in their last seven and has scored fewer than three goals four times.

With Los Angeles on the second half of a Western Canada back-to-back, Cam Talbot will take the crease on Tuesday in Calgary after backing up with the night off Monday. The 36-year-old was one of the NHL's best goaltenders in the first half of the season but has had a nightmarish run since the turn of the new year which has affected his overall numbers. He still owns an impressive 16-13-5 record, 2.53 GAA and .913 SV% on the season regardless. He takes on the surprisingly surging Calgary Flames, who have won three straight games and are improving offensively as they rank 16th in the NHL in goals per game (3.12).

Lyon returns to Detroit's crease on Tuesday vs. Washington after backing up in the second half of a back-to-back on Sunday. The 31-year-old has been a godsend for the playoff-hungry Red Wings', who signed a one-year contract in the offseason and is 17-8-2 with a 2.68 GAA and .916 SV%. He will face the surprisingly hot Washington Capitals on Tuesday, who are coming off a 6-3 win over Ottawa on Monday and have won four of their last five games.

The Red Wings will turn to Lyon on Saturday, the front end of a back-to-back, for his third straight start. Lyon was outstanding on Thursday night, saving 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) against the typically high-scoring Colorado Avalanche in a 2-1 overtime victory. The Red Wings will look to extend their winning streak to four games on Saturday afternoon against a St. Louis Blue club coming off an impressive 4-0 win over the New York Islanders.

Lagesson hasn't played since suffering an upper-body injury in Saturday's game against the Ducks. He's expected to skate alongside Morgan Rielly as he's set to return from his five-game suspension.

The Red Wings remain committed to Lyon, who will start for the third time in the last four games for the Red Wings. Lyon was excellent in his last outing, saving 38 of 41 shots (.927 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Seattle Kraken. That said, Lyon and the Red Wings welcome a challenging foe on Thursday night as the Colorado Avalanche and their league-best offence (3.68 GF / GP) visit Detroit.

Talbot will return to the crease on Tuesday, starting consecutive games for only the second time in over a month. The veteran netminder was tremendous on Sunday, saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, his first win since December 23rd, ending an abysmal 11-game stretch (0-7-3) where he posted a .877 SV%. The Kings are -245 home favourites against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

Rasmussen is on pace to set career-highs in all major offensive categories this season and has been rewarded with a four-year $12.8 million contract extension. In 55 games this season, Rasmussen has 23 points (11G / 12A), 74 shots, and 91 hits.

Watson returned from a three-game absence on Saturday, registering 17 penalty minutes and two hits in 9:11 time-on-ice, but will return to the pressbox on Monday as a healthy scratch. The bruising forward has played only twice in the last 10 games.

Lyon will return to the crease on Monday after having a rare night off in the Red Wings last contest on Saturday. The 31-year-old Lyon has established himself as the go-to guy between the pipes for the Red Wings but has lost his footing lately and was shown up on Saturday by James Reimer, who recorded a 38-save shutout. In his last two games, Lyon has allowed 11 goals on 50 shots (.780 SV%), a blip on an otherwise impressive season. The Red Wings are +126 road underdogs on Monday afternoon against a Seattle Kraken club riding a two-game winning streak.

Lyon will be back between the pipes for the Red Wings on Thursday after Ville Husso got the nod in Edmonton on Tuesday. Lyon struggled after being forced into action against the Oilers when Husso left the game with a lower-body injury. Lyon allowed seven goals on 29 shots as the Red Wings fell by a score of 8-4. Lyon will have his hands full again on Thursday as the Red Wings find themselves as +160 underdogs in Vancouver.
