With Daniil Tarasov (undisclosed) returning from an injury, the Red Wings have reassigned Postava to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL). Postava made his first career start in Detroit's previous game and played well, saving 24 of 27 shots (.889 SV%) in a 4-3 shootout win over the Edmonton Oilers.

With Daniil Tarasov (undisclosed) returning from an injury, the Red Wings have reassigned Postava to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL). Postava made his first career start in Detroit's previous game and played well, saving 24 of 27 shots (.889 SV%) in a 4-3 shootout win over the Edmonton Oilers.

Postava has excelled at every level and will get his first chance to make an NHL impact on Monday. The 24-year-old Czech goalie posted a sublime 1.71 GAA and .937 SV% in 25 games (17-6-0) last season with the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL), ultimately leading the organization to trade goalie Sebastian Cossa. That said, Postava will be put to the test in his first career start against the high-flying offence of the Edmonton Oilers. Detroit enters the action as +157 road underdogs.

Postava was sensational in his first season in North America, going 17-6-0 with a 1.71 GAA and .937 SV%, and has picked up right where he left off. The 24-year-old netminder is 4-0-0 with a 1.25 GAA and .954 SV% so far, and has earned the call-up to the Red Wings. It's unclear what this means for Daniil Tarasov or John Gibson, but expect an update prior to Thursday's game in Vancouver.

John Gibson was forced to leave Thursday's contest with an upper-body injury so Michal Postava has been recalled from Grand Rapids (AHL) under emergency conditions. With Detroit in the midst of their playoff hunt and with only a few games left, Postava is not expected to see any time as he backs up Cam Talbot.


With Cam Talbot battling an undisclosed injury, the Red Wings have opted to recall Postava from the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL). Postava has been excellent in his first AHL season, posting a 1.86 GAA and .932 SV% in 21 games (13-6-0), but his recall is somewhat surprising given that Grand Rapids' starting goalie, Sebastian Cossa, is largely considered to be the Red Wings' goalie-of-the-future.

Postava was an undrafted free agent out of the Czech Extraliga. The 23-year-old netminder was 23-18-0 with a. 2.39 GAA and .920 SV% in 42 games during the regular season and 10-7-0 with a 1.97 GAA and .940 SV% in the playoffs with Brno Kometa. Postava will likely report to Grand Rapids (AHL) to begin the 2025-26 season.
