Ville Husso News

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 likely 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.

Husso will get the nod against his former team as the Red Wings are set to take on the Blues in St. Louis on Tuesday. Husso struggled his last time out, surrendering six goals on 36 shots in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks on Thursday. On the season, Husso owns an 8-4-2 record despite posting a disappointing .886 SV% and a 3.65 GAA. He and the Red Wings are slight underdogs at +115 in St. Louis on Tuesday.

Husso will take the Wings' crease over for the third time in four games after winning his previous start in a 26 save (.867 SV%) victory vs. Montreal. The 28-year-old goaltender has struggled yet again this season much like he did in 2022-23, with his 8-4-1 record, 3.48 GAA and .891 SV%. He will host the San Jose Sharks, who enjoyed a four-goal comeback victory over the New York Islanders last game but are still last in the NHL in both shots per game (24.9) and goals per game (2.0).

Husso did not play on Sunday and has mostly served as a backup since the emergence of Alex Lyon, but is coming off his best performance in over a month, saving 25 of 27 shots (.926 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Friday. His terrific performance against the Bruins might be hard to replicate on Wednesday, as the Red Wings are expected to be without Dylan Larkin and are facing off against the New York Rangers, who have only two regulation losses in the last five weeks (13-2-1).

Husso gave up five goals on 32 shots in the Red Wings loss in New York on Tuesday. The 2023-24 season has been a struggle so far for Husso, who has allowed at least three goals in eight of nine starts while posting a 3.57 GAA and .890 SV%. On Saturday, he'll take on a Blue Jackets team that hast lost three in a row and seven of their last eight, but are expected to get Patrik Laine back in the lineup.

Husso will take the Red Wings' crease for a fourth-straight start Tuesday after stopping 26 of 30 shots (.867 SV%) in a win over Boston his last time between the pipes. The 28-year-old has gone through an up-and-down start to the 2023-24 season, with his 5-2-1 record, .896 SV% and 3.37 GAA. He will head to Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Rangers Tuesday, who had won six of their last seven games but are 18th in the NHL in goals per game (3.09).

Husso will start for the Red Wings on Saturday and will attempt to get his team back in the win column as they are in the midst of a 1-3-1 run. Husso has registered a very pedestrian 3.28 GAA and .900 SV% but has salvaged a respectable 4-2-1 record as the team has provided him with ample goal support when he is between the pipes, scoring 29 goals in those seven contests. However, the Red Wings take on a Boston Bruins team on Saturday that makes scoring very difficult as they rank first in the league defensively, allowing only 1.60 goals per game.

Husso will start on Monday against the New York Islanders as the Red Wings look to snap out of a three-game losing streak. Despite a positive 3-2-1 record, Husso has struggled this season, recording a 3.33 GAA and .894 SV%. The Islanders have been their usual, stingy selves defensively but have been outscored 19-18 on the season, despite a strong 4-2-1 start. The Islanders, who are -158 home favourites against the Red Wings, were shut out last season in their only matchup against Husso (24 saves).

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).

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.

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.

Husso will make his return to the Red Wings crease on Tuesday after witnessing backup James Reimer make a 23-save shutout in their last contest. In his first two games this season (1-1-0), Husso has shown mixed results, recording a 3.57 GAA and .863 SV%. The Red Wings will hope that competition between him and Reimer can inspire him to elevate his game to last year's early season form that saw him record a .922 SV% and three shutouts in his first 13 games (8-2-3). The Red Wings are +110 home underdogs against a Pittsburgh Penguins team that has outscored opponents 11-6 in their first three games (2-1-0).

Husso is the confirmed starter on Saturday and will look to improve on his season-opening performance, in which he allowed three goals on 26 shots in a 4-3 loss to the high-flying New Jersey Devils. The competition won't get much easier for Husso as he and the Red Wings will face off against last year's eighth-best offence (3.41 goals/GM). In his four games against the Lightning last season (2-2-0), Husso played adequately, recording a 3.02 GAA and .909 SV%.

Husso is entering his fourth NHL season after posting a 26-22-7 record, .896 SV%, and 3.11 GAA with Detroit in 2022-23 and will be the Red Wings' opening night starter vs. New Jersey. The 28-year-old is entering his second season in Detroit after signing a three-year, $14.5 million deal in the 2021-22 offseason. He draws the tough first task of New Jersey, who finished 2022-23 fifth in both goals for (289) and shots per game (34.4).

Husso was pulled after allowing three goals on five shots (.400 SV%) in just 12:10 TOI for his third-straight loss as Dallas rocked him in his previous start. The 28-year-old started the year off strong but has greatly fizzled out recently, leading to his 26-21-7 record, .896 SV% and 3.09 GAA. He takes on the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are in the middle of a four-game losing skid but are still eighth in the NHL in goals per game (3.4).

Husso allowed five goals on 28 shots (.821 SV%) for his fifth-loss in six games as he was beaten easily by the Pittsburgh Penguins his last time out. The 28-year-old has had a very up-and-down first season in Detroit, with his 26-20-7 record, 3.05 GAA and .898 SV%. He takes on the Dallas Stars, who have won three straight and are seventh in the NHL in goals per game (3.41).
