Red Wings' Ville Husso: Gets buried by Avs
Rotowire
Husso stopped 16 of 21 shots before being replaced by Magnus Hellberg early in the third period of Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
The goaltending switch was a desperation move by Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde, as Husso really didn't have much chance on any of the five pucks that beat him. The 28-year-old netminder has just two wins in his last eight starts, going 2-5-1 with an .865 save percentage, but his starting job likely isn't in any danger down the stretch from the 31-year-old Hellberg.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Stops 17 in win
Rotowire
Husso made 17 saves in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Husso wasn't all that busy as the Red Wings held a 41-20 edge in shots, but he gave up two goals to Taylor Raddysh in the first and another to Joey Anderson early in the third, precipitating the need for a third-period Detroit comeback to snap the team's six-game slide. The comeback victory also got Husso into the win column for the first time since Feb. 23 -- he had been 0-3-1 in his last four decisions. Detroit's six points back of a playoff spot, and Husso should continue to start most of the team's games as long as the Red Wings remain within striking distance of the postseason.

Detroit appears to be throwing in the towel at the trade deadline, however, so wins and points could be tougher to come by for Husso down the stretch.

The 28-year-old Husso has started all but one of the Wings' last 10 contests, posting a 6-3-0 record and 2.23 GAA in those prior nine outings. The Finn should continue to see the bulk of the workload moving forward, making him a top-half fantasy target.
