John Carlson is no longer listed on the injured reserve (lower body).

Carlson has not played since leaving early in a game vs. Nashville on October 29th. The Capitals' star defenseman has two goals and six points in his first nine games with the team while putting up a -2 plus/minus with 27 SOG. He will be a game-time decision Friday but will make a massive addition to the lineup if he is able to go after warm-ups.

Husso will start Tuesday vs. the Canadiens.

Husso was perfect in his previous start, stopping 24 of 24 New York Islander shots to earn his second shutout since joining the Red Wings in the offseason. Husso has been one of the best off-season signings, posting an impressive 5-1-1 record while ranking 2nd in the NHL in GAA (1.86) and third in SV% (.941). He draws a good matchup against the Montreal Canadiens who rank 24th in the NHL in GF/GP (2.83) and 25th in SOG/GP (29.3).
