Simon Edvinsson has been reassigned to Grand Rapids (AHL).

With Olli Maatta and Jeff Petry expected to return to the lineup on Friday, Edvinsson's services are no longer needed and, as such, he has been reassigned to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL). Edvinsson played the last two games from the Red Wings, averaging over 14 minutes of time-on-ice, recording one point (0G / 1A), and registering three hits.

With Olli Maatta and Jeff Petry expected to return to the lineup on Friday, Edvinsson is expected to serve as a healthy scratch. Edvinsson played the last two games from the Red Wings, averaging over 14 minutes of time-on-ice, recording one point (0G / 1A), and registering three hits.

Alex Lyon will start Friday vs. Nashville.

Lyon has been on injured reserve with an upper-body injury after exiting a December 16th contest against the Philadelphia Flyers in the second period. In his absence, the Red Wings, also without Ville Husso, went 1-5-0 while relying predominantly on James Reimer. Before his injury, Lyon was stellar, allowing one goal or fewer in four of his last six games (4-2-0), posting a tremendous .938 SV%. The Red Wings will face off against the Nashville Predators, who have lost two straight games (0-2-0).

Joe Veleno (undisclosed) will be out Wednesday in Minnesota and is considered day-to-day.

Veleno played 14:07 time-on-ice on Saturday but suffered an undisclosed injury at some point that will keep him out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Minnesota Wild. The 23-year-old centerman has four points (1G / 3A), a -10 plus/minus, and 15 shots in his last eight games.

The Red Wings have recalled Simon Edvinsson from Grand Rapids (AHL).

Olli Maatta picked up a knock in Friday's win over the Flyers, so Edvinsson will likely make his season debut on Saturday. The 2021 No.6 overall pick has been great in the AHL this season, leading all Griffins defensemen with 16 points (6G / 10A) in 25 games. Edvinsson had two goals in nine games with the Red Wings a season ago.

Cam Talbot is expected to start Wednesday vs. Seattle.

Talbot will return to the Kings' starters crease after backing up last game as he takes on Seattle Wednesday. The 36-year-old signed a one-year, $1 million contract in the offseason which has payed off fruitfully for the Kings as Talbot has been one of the leagues best goaltenders with his 13-5-2 record, .926 SV% and 2.02 GAA. He will host the Seattle Kraken Wednesday, who have lost two straight games and are struggling to score being 28th in the NHL in goals per game (2.7).

Alex Lyon (lower body) is considered out week-to-week.

Lyon exited Saturday's game for the Red Wings in the second period after saving 14 of 15 shots (.933 SV%) with a lower-body injury. It was announced before Monday's game that he is week-to-week after he did not participate in practice on Monday. Ville Husso will likely see the majority of the action while Lyon is out, with James Reimer serving as the backup.

Vladimir Tarasenko (personal) was back at Ottawa's practice in full Monday.

Tarasenko was a late scratch on Friday and subsequently did not play on Sunday as he tended to family matters away from the team. He was back at practice on Monday and will likely return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Arizona Coyotes. After averaging only 1.4 shot per game during a seven-game stretch with three points (0G / 3A), Tarasenko has been more involved lately, seeing his ice-time increase by 97 seconds per game, scoring six points (3G / 3A) and averaging 3.1 shots in seven games.

Dylan Larkin (upper body) will return to the Red Wings' lineup Monday vs. Anaheim.

Larkin suffered an upper-body injury on December 9th and subsequently missed four games but will return to action on Monday against the Anaheim Ducks. The Red Wings struggled in Larkin's absence, being outscored 18-11 in five games (1-4-0). At morning skate on Monday, Larkin was centring a line with Joe Veleno and Patrick Kane and occupying a spot on the top powerplay unit. Before his injury, Larkin was riding a six-game point streak, scoring eight points (6G / 2A) in the process.
