Talbot allowed five goals on 28 shots in the Red Wings loss to the Predators on Wednesday. After a four-game winning streak, Talbot has lost two in a row while allowing nine goals on 48 shots (.813 SV%). On Saturday, he'll face a Bruins team who will be without David Pastrnak, so Detroit are -140 road favourites.

Gustafsson made his Red Wing season debut in Detroit's most recent game and played 17:23 time-on-ice, including some powerplay deployment. The 33-year-old defenseman, an NHL veteran of 516 games, will return to the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL, where he has spent the majority of the 2025-26 season.

Bernard-Docker did not play Detroit's most recent game, but he will return to the lineup on Friday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 25-year-old defenseman has only played 12 games this season, averaging 12:55 time-on-ice and scoring one assist.

Rasmussen has missed the last three game games due to an injury, but he will draw back into the lineup on Friday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The towering 6'6 forward is averaging 11:39 time-on-ice and has five points (2G / 3A) in 19 games this season.

With the return of Simon Edvinsson (illness), Hamonic will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 35-year-old Hamonic has been in-and-out of the lineup all season for the Red Wings. He is averaging 14:26 time-on-ice and has one assist in 15 games.

Edvinsson has missed the last three games due to an illness, but will re-enter the lineup on Friday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 22-year-old Swedish defenseman is averaging 21:32 time-on-ice and has six points (3G / 3A) in 21 games this season.

The Red Wings will turn to Gibson on Friday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Lightning, looking for stability in their crease after being outscored 18-9 in their last four games (1-3-0). The Red Wings acquired the 32-year-old Gibson in the offseason in hopes of solidifying their goaltending position, but he has left much to be desired, posting an ugly 3.46 GAA and .870 SV% in 12 appearances (4-6-1). That said, one of his best performances of the season came in a 2-1 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Lightning when he saved 21 of 32 shots (.969 SV%).



Talbot had a poor performance in Detroit's most recent game, allowing four goals on 20 shots (.800 SV%) in a 4-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils, but he will return to the crease on Wednesday, looking to redeem himself against the Nashville Predators. The 38-year-old Talbot has had an up-and-down 2025-26 season, posting a 2.79 GAA and .893 SV% in 13 appearances (9-3-0). The Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest as -150 home favourites against a Predators team that ranks dead last in the league offensively (2.36 GF/GP)

Compher is battling an illness and could be at risk of missing his first game of the season on Wednesday when Detroit hosts the Nashville Predators. The 30-year-old Compher has struggled to find his offensive footing this season, going pointless in his last eight, and scoring only six points (3G / 3A) through 23 contests.

The Red Wings will turn to Talbot between the pipes for the 11th time this season when they travel to New Jersey on Monday. Talbot picked up his fourth victory in as many starts in his last outing, stopping 31 of the 34 shots he faced in a 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday. The 13-year-veteran brings an impressive 9-2-0 record on the season into Monday night's matchup with the Devils, where the Red Wings enter action at +120 on the money line.
