On Friday, the Detroit Red Wings announced that they have recalled goaltender Ville Husso from the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins due to emergency conditions. The move comes as the Red Wings aim to strengthen their goaltending depth in response to ongoing issues in net.
So far this season, Ville Husso has appeared in just one game for the Red Wings, which was a challenging outing against the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he allowed four goals on just 14 shots. However, Husso has looked much sharper during his time in the AHL.
In three games with the Grand Rapids Griffins, he has been far more effective, allowing just three goals. His strong play has resulted in a goals-against average of 1.23 and an impressive .958 save percentage.
This solid performance in the minors suggests that Husso is capable of producing at a high level, and his recall to the Red Wings indicates they are hopeful he can replicate that success at the NHL level.
As the Red Wings work through the early part of the season, having Ville Husso back in the mix gives them an added option in goal. His experience, coupled with his strong recent play in the AHL, could be crucial as the team looks to strengthen its defensive game and improve its overall performance.
Fans will be watching closely to see how Husso fares upon his return to the NHL and whether he can once again become a reliable goaltending option for the Red Wings. With the season still in its early stages, this recall could be a key moment for both Husso and the team’s ambitions moving forward.
