They will switch to Talbot between the pipes on Thursday against the New York Islanders. The 38-year-old Talbot has been sensational early in the 2025-26 season, posting a 1.78 GAA and .932 SV% in four appearances (3-0-0). The Red Wings enter Thursday's contest as +115 road underdogs against an Islanders team riding a three-game winning streak.

After a poor season-opening performance for Gibson, allowing five goals on 13 shots (.615 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, Cam Talbot has led the way between the pipes for the Red Wings, leading them during a five-game winning streak. That said, Gibson has been much better lately, saving 47 of 50 shots (.940 SV%) in his last two games (2-0-0), and will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Buffalo Sabres. The Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest with even -105 odds against a 2-4-0 Sabres team.

Kane got tripped up in overtime on Friday and crashed hard into the end boards. Kane suffered an upper-body injury in the collision and did not play on Sunday. He will miss at least one more game, beginning with Wednesday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres. Kane's next opportunity to return will be on Friday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Michael Brandsegg-Nygard will likely play in Kane's usual second-line position on Wednesday.

Kane got tripped up in overtime on Friday and crashed hard into the end boards. Kane suffered an upper-body injury on the collision and will not play Sunday vs. the Oilers. Jonatan Berggren skated in Kane's spot on the Red Wings' second line in Saturday's practice.

Raymond participated in the morning skate but will miss his second straight game. With him still sidelined, Mason Appleton is expected to remain on the Red Wings’ top line, while James van Riemsdyk continues to skate on the top power-play unit.

Raymond exited Monday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after only 7:58 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. He did not play on Wednesday, but has skated on his own prior to practice. His status for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning is uncertain. The 23-year-old Raymond was off to a strong start to the season, with three points (2G / 1A) in three games.

Gibson had a poor debut in Detroit's season-opening matchup, allowing five goals on 13 shots (.615 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, prompting a goalie change in their next three games, in which the team went undefeated (3-0-0) courtesy of strong play from veteran goalie Cam Talbot. That said, Gibson will be back between the pipes on Friday, looking to rebound against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 32-year-old Gibson has battled injuries over his career but played well when called upon in his final season with the Anaheim Ducks in 2024-25, posting a 2.77 GAA and .911 SV% in 29 outings (11-11-2). The Red Wings enter Friday's contest as +128 home underdogs against a Lightning team off to a disappointing 1-2-1 start in 2025-26.

Raymond exited Monday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after only 7:58 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. He skated at practice on Wednesday but did not participate in team drills, and it's unclear when he may return to the lineup. The 23-year-old Raymond was off to a strong start to the season, with three points (2G / 1A) in three games. Elmer Soderblom will draw into Detroit's lineup on Wednesday as Raymond's replacement.

With Lucas Raymond battling an upper-body injury, Soderblom will draw back into Detroit's lineup on Wednesday against the Florida Panthers. In his only outing this season, the 24-year-old Soderblom played 10:43 time-on-ice and recorded a -2 plus/minus.

After John Gibson's porous debut in Detroit's season-opening 5-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, Talbot has been awarded his third consecutive start on Wednesday against the Florida Panthers. The 38-year-old Talbot has been excellent in his limited action this season, posting a 2.11 GAA, a .925 SV%, and a perfect 2-0-0 record. Still, the Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest as +122 home underdogs against a Panthers team coming off their first loss of the 2025-26 season (3-1-0).

van Riemsdyk signed with the Red Wings during the offseason and will debut on Monday against his former team, the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 36-year-old American forward scored 36 points (16G / 20A) in 71 games with the Columbus Blue Jackets last season. He has 665 points (327G / 338A) in 1082 career games.

Talbot played well enough in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, saving 20 of 23 shots (.870 SV%), to earn himself another start in Monday's rematch. The 38-year-old Talbot posted a 2.93 GAA and a .900 SV% in 47 appearances last season (21-19-5). The Red Wings acquired John Gibson in the offseason to be their new starting netminder, but Talbot has the opportunity to play himself into more games if he can showcase some consistency. The Red Wings enter Monday's contest as +142 road underdogs against the Maple Leafs.
