Gibson allowed one goal on 19 shots before leaving Sunday's win in New Jersey due to dehydration. Lukas Dostal stopped all 10 shots that he faced in relief. Since Gibson played just two periods and played well, there's a chance that they go back to Gibson on Monday if he's feeling better. That said, the Ducks recalled Calle Clang from the San Diego Gulls (AHL) on Monday, suggesting that Gibson might be unavailable.

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.

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.

Mitchell will make way for the recently recalled Parker Wotherspoon. Mitchell has zero goals and two assists in 11 games this season.

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.

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.

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.

Holl will re-enter the Red Wings' lineup on Tuesday as Detroit opts to dress seven defensemen for the tail-end of their back-to-back. He has zero goals and three assists in 20 games with the Red Wings this season.

Lagesson did not play the last two games for the Maple Leafs due to an illness but will return to the lineup on Monday against the New York Islanders. Lagesson is averaging 15:00 time-on-ice, has one point (0G / 1A), and 25 hits in 14 games, skating primarily alongside Simon Benoit, though he'll start tonight's game on a pair with Jake McCabe.

Larkin exited Saturday's contest against the Ottawa Senators, playing only 5:26 time-on-ice, after a scary incident that left him motionless on the ice for several moments. Larkin was able to skate off the ice with the help of his teammates but will be out of the lineup for a minimum of one week as he has been placed on the injured reserve. Zach Aston-Reese and Austin Czarnik have both been recalled from the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL. Larkin's absence creates a void at the center-ice position for the Red Wings, who are already without J.T. Compher (soreness).

Berggren has been up and down from the AHL several times over the last few weeks and will make his most recent stop with the Red Wings on an emergency basis as Dylan Larkin, J.T. Compher, and Klim Kostin have been placed on the injured reserve. Berggren has 15 points (5G / 10A) in 16 games with Grand Rapids (AHL) this season.
