Detroit Red Wings share crucial injury news to the media on Monday
The Detroit Red Wings have had to rely upon Alex Lyon and James Reimer, as their goalie tandem, while Ville Husso remains out of the lineup.
Husso has been out since mid-December, as a result of an injury that happened during a game against the Anaheim Ducks in the Little Caesars Arena.
He would later return to take on the Edmonton Oilers, but just as quick as he arrived, he would leave not even finishing the first period, suffering another, unrelated lower-body injury.
He's been showing up to team practice, several appearances lately before the Detroit Red Wings loaned him to their AHL affiliate the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Husso will remain there on a conditioning stint.
Husso's career record is 69W-40L-16OTL, 3.01 GAA, .902 SV%, and 7 SO.
Per The Official Press Release:
With a 25-save shutout on Jan. 26 against the Belleville Senators, Husso became just the third goalie (Jimmy Howard in 2016-17; Alex Nedeljkovic in 2022-23) to earn a shutout during a conditioning stint with the Griffins and the first of those to do it in his Grand Rapids debut. Husso became the ninth goaltender to appear for the Griffins during a conditioning stint. In the AHL, the Helsinki, Finland, native has a 51-54-16 overall record in 130 games to go along with a 2.68 goals against average and a .909 save percentage. Husso has competed in 19 games with Detroit this season and possesses a 3.55 goals against average, a .892 save percentage and a 9-5-2 record. Husso's last game was on Feb. 13 against the Edmonton Oilers before being placed on the injured reserve list for the second time this season. Last campaign, the 29-year-old suited up for a career-high 56 games with the Red Wings and notched a career-best 26 wins to go along with a 3.11 goals against average and a .896 save percentage. Throughout five NHL campaigns from 2017-24, Husso has a 69-40-16 ledger in 132 contests with a 3.01 goals against average and a .902 save percentage. Husso was selected with the 94th overall pick by St. Louis in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Source: Hockey Feed
