Detroit Red Wings Recall Ville Husso
In a strategic move just before their game against the Montreal Canadiens, the Detroit Red Wings have announced the recall of goaltender Ville Husso from the Grand Rapids Griffins. Despite the recall, Alex Lyon is slated to start in goal for the Red Wings in tonight's matchup.
Husso's Injury-Plagued Season
Ville Husso has posted a season record of 9-5-2 with a .892 save percentage. Initially, Husso was set to start for the Grand Rapids Griffins last Friday in a conditioning stint intended to prepare him for return to full game fitness. However, during warmups before a game against the Rockford IceHogs, Husso reaggravated an existing injury and had to leave before playing.
Recall Signals Optimistic Recovery
The decision to recall Husso suggests that the Red Wings' management believes he is nearing a full recovery and is ready to rejoin the main roster, albeit in a backup role initially. This move is critical as the team looks to bolster their goaltending options heading into the latter part of the season.
