William Lagesson has been recalled from the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

Lagesson was called up on Friday from the Marlies (AHL), likely to replace Jake McCabe, who was injured after playing only 10 seconds on Friday and has been ruled out for the Maple Leafs Saturday night matchup against the Nashville Predators. In five games with the Marlies this season, Lagesson has one point (0G / 1A) and a -2 plus/minus rating.

Ville Husso will start Saturday in Boston.

Husso allowed five goals on 38 shots in the Red Wings' overtime loss to the Kraken on Tuesday. Husso hasn't been great to start the season, posting a 3.38 GAA and .893 SV% in his first five games. Tonight he'll face a Bruins team that is 14th in xGF/60 (3.20) and GF/60 (3.13).

Debrincat (illness) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Jets.

DeBrincat was absent from Wednesday's morning skate due to illness but did skate Thursday and was a game-time decision vs. Winnipeg. The 25-year-old has been off to an absurd start during his Detroit tenure as he leads the NHL in goals (9) and is third in points (13) while adding 23 SOG and a +6 plus/minus across seven games thus far in 2023-24.

Jeff Petry (upper body) is expected to return to the Red Wings' lineup Saturday vs. Boston.

Petry missed the Red Wings' previous two contests due to an upper-body injury but is expected to return to the lineup Saturday vs. Boston. Petry was acquired in the offseason for Gustav Lindstrom and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2025 and has two assists, four SOG, six PIMs and a -1 plus/minus through four games in 2023-24.

Campbell will start in Minnesota on Tuesday.

Campbell will start for the third time in four games as the Oilers look for just their second win of the season on Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild. After a terrible opening night performance that saw him allow four goals on 16 shots, Campbell has garnered a 2.50 GAA and .934 SV% in his two games since (1-1-0). The Oilers were last year's top offensive team (3.96 GF/GP) but after five games this season are averaging only 2.60 goals per game while being outscored 20-13 (1-3-1). Campbell and the Oilers will hope they can do a better job defensively as they will be without captain Connor McDavid.

Husso will start against the Kraken on Tuesday.

The Red Wings are off to an excellent 5-1-0 start to the season, averaging a league-best 5.00 goals scored per game. Husso hasn't been spectacular, recording a 3.04 GAA and .901 SV% in four games (3-1-0), but has been much better in his last two contests with a 2.50 GAA and .929 SV%. He will look to continue his hot streak tonight as the Red Wings host a Seattle Kraken team that ranks third-worst in the league offensively, averaging only 1.83 goals scored per game.

Jeff Petry (upper body) did not skate Tuesday morning and is considered day-to-day.

Petry is expected to miss his second straight game on Tuesday as he continues to recover from an upper-body injury. The Michigan native is currently listed as day-to-day. He has two points (0G / 2A) and six penalty minutes in four games this season.

Ville Husso was in the starters' crease at Tuesday's morning skate.

Husso is the likely starter for the red-hot Red Wings on Tuesday. The Red Wings are off to an excellent 5-1-0 start to the season, averaging a league-best 5.00 goals scored per game. Husso hasn't been spectacular, recording a 3.04 GAA and .901 SV% in four games (3-1-0), but has been much better in his last two contests with a 2.50 GAA and .929 SV%.

Berggren will make his season debut against the Flames on Sunday.

Berrgren was recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL) on Friday and will draw into the Red Wings lineup on Sunday. After an impressive first year in North America, scoring 64 points (21G / 43A) in 70 games with Grand Rapids, Berggren became a regular in the lineup for the Red Wings last season where he recorded 28 points (15G / 13A) in 67 games. Berggren has impressed in the AHL again to begin the 2023-24 season, registering three assists through the opening two games of the season.

Petry will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Flames.

The Red Wings are going with a more conventional lineup today after opting to dress seven defensemen in Saturday's game against the Senators, and Petry is the odd man out. Petry has registered two assists, four shots on goal, and seven hits in four game this season. Subbing in for Petry is Jonatan Berggren, who is set to make his season debut alongside Austin Czarnik and Christian Fischer on Detroit's fourth line.

The Red Wings recalled Berggren from Grand Rapids (AHL).

After an impressive first year in North America, scoring 64 points (21G / 43A) in 70 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL, Berggren became a regular in the lineup for the Red Wings last season where he recorded 28 points (15G / 13A) in 67 games. Berggren has impressed in the AHL again to begin the 2023-24 season, registering three assists through the opening two games of the season.

Radim Simek has cleared waivers and been assigned to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL).

Simek failed to appear in any of the Sharks' first four games and has been assigned to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) after clearing waivers Friday. The 31-year-old heads to the AHL after posting a goal, two assists, 29 PIMs, and a -13 plus/minus in 44 games with the San Jose Sharks in 2022-23.

Ville Husso will start Saturday vs. Ottawa.

Husso will get his second consecutive start and look for his third consecutive win on Saturday as the Red Wings face off against the Ottawa Senators. Husso has been far from remarkable this season, posting a 3.37 GAA and .881 SV%, but has still managed a winning record through three starts (2-1-0) thanks in part to the Red Wings' early-season offensive prowess (4.75 GF/GP). Husso and the Red Wings will be put to the test against the Senators as they have been equally difficult to contain offensive, also scoring an average of 4.75 goals per game.

Campbell will start in Philadelphia on Thursday.

After a forgettable season-opening performance that saw him allow four goals on 16 shots, Campbell led the Oilers to their first victory on Wednesday, saving 42 of 43 shots against the Nashville Predators and will be rewarded with another start on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. Until he can consistently string together quality performance, Campbell remains difficult to rely on from a fantasy-hockey perspective, even against the low-scoring Flyers (2.67 GF/GP). The Oilers, -199 road favourites, will look to improve to a .500 record with a victory tonight.

Cam Talbot will start Thursday vs. Minnesota.

Talbot and the Kings will look to record consecutive wins for the first time this season after an impressive 26-save, 5-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. Mark Scheifele scored with fewer than 80 seconds left to spoil Talbot's shutout bid on Tuesday and spoil an otherwise perfect performance. After two games this season, Talbot has a 2.51 GAA and .921 SV% and looks to be the goalie-of-choice for Todd McLellan and the Kings' coaching staff. Tonight, the Kings are very slight -106 road favourites against a Minnesota Wild team that is coming off a dominant 5-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens.
