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.
Snively played the last three games for the Capitals, averaging less than nine minutes per night, scoring zero points and zero shots. He will return to the Hershey Bears of the AHL where he has 21 points (7G / 14A) in 25 games this season.
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.
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.
Alex Lyon exited Saturday's game in the second period with a lower-body injury and was replaced by Husso, who saved all 18 shots he faced in a 1-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. The Red Wings will likely roll with Husso on Monday and hope that his performance over the last three games, saving 88 of 94 shots (.936 SV%), is a trend for the Finnish netminder, who had struggled immensely, posting a .872 SV% in his seven games before (4-2-1). The Red Wings are -237 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks team that pulled off a surprising 5-1 victory in New Jersey last night.

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. His status is still to be determined, but 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.
Earlier this week, Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde stated that Compher could be available to return on Thursday, but after not playing on Thursday, he appears ready to return on Saturday. He has been a full participant at the last few practices for the Red Wings, centring a line with Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane. The 28-year-old Compher is pacing for the best season of his career with 19 points (6G / 13A) in 24 games.
Tarasenko was a late scratch on Friday with the Senators announcing his absence shortly after 6:00 pm ET. The 32-year-old winger has six goals and 13 assists in his first 24 games as a Senator. Rourke Chartier will take Tarasenko's spot in the lineup on Friday.
With both JT Compher (undisclosed) and Klim Kostin (undisclosed) expected to return from the IR Saturday, Jonatan Bergegren was the odd man out of the Red Wings' Roster as he was reassigned to Grand Rapids (AHL) Friday. The 23-year-old had played well in his seven games with Detroit, with two goals, four points, eight SOG and a +4 plus/minus.
Lyon will start on Saturday against the team he made his NHL debut with, the Philadelphia Flyers, whom he played sparingly with between the 2017-18 and 2020-21 seasons. Lyon has undoubtedly been the Red Wings' best goaltender since making his debut with the team approximately one month ago but has not played the last three games. He is coming off his worst performance of the season, allowing four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators on December 9th, but still has an impressive 2.13 GAA and .931 SV% in six games this season (4-2-0).

Watson will sit on Thursday as Conor Sheary (upper-body) makes his return to the lineup. Watson has one goal and zero assists in 15 games this season.
Husso allowed four goals on 37 shots (.892 SV%) on Tuesday but was able to secure a 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Blues and will return to the crease on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Husso has been limited to only three starts (2-1-0) in the last seven games for the Red Wings, allowing four or more goals in each, posting a .864 SV% in the process. The Red Wings are +149 home underdogs against a Hurricanes team that has lost four of their last five (1-4-0), scoring more than three goals only once.
Although in a non-contact jersey, Larkin's presence at practice was a positive sign for the Red Wings as he appears to have avoided a worst-case injury. Larkin will not play this weekend and will be re-evaluated next week. Before his injury, Larkin had eight points (6G / 2A) during a six-game point streak.
Earlier this week, Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde stated that Compher could be available to return on Thursday but it looks more to be a Saturday activity after it was announced he was not quite ready after practice. After being a full participant at practice on Thursday, centring a line with Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane, Compher appeared to be on track to return to action but will delay that one more game. The 28-year-old Compher is pacing for the best season of his career with 19 points (6G / 13A) in 24 games.
