Red Wings' Ville Husso: At practice Monday
Rotowire
Husso (lower body) participated in practice Monday for the first time since getting hurt against Edmonton on Feb. 13, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
While Husso is practicing, head coach Derek Lalonde told Ansar Khan of MLive.com that the goalie isn't much closer to return and remains week-to-week. Considering he has made just one appearance in goal over the Red Wings' last 30 contests, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be expecting him to be immediately thrust into the crease or to supplant Alex Lyon as the No. 1 option for Detroit even when he's cleared to play.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Tough loss to Carolina
Rotowire
Husso stopped 37 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
The 28-year-old netminder made only one real mistake on the night, but it proved costly -- Husso came out of his crease to try and handle a dump-in attempt in the second period, only to whiff on the puck completely. It bounced off the end boards and slid right in front of the net, gifting the game-winning goal to Jordan Staal. It's just the second time in his last 12 starts that Husso has allowed fewer than three goals, and over that stretch he's stumbled to a 3.75 GAA and .888 save percentage despite a 6-4-2 record. With Alex Lyon's hot streak having faded and James Reimer still trying to find his form, however, Husso figures to remain Detroit's No. 1 goalie by default, at least for now.
