Husso will start Tuesday vs. the Canadiens.

Husso was perfect in his previous start, stopping 24 of 24 New York Islander shots to earn his second shutout since joining the Red Wings in the offseason. Husso has been one of the best off-season signings, posting an impressive 5-1-1 record while ranking 2nd in the NHL in GAA (1.86) and third in SV% (.941). He draws a good matchup against the Montreal Canadiens who rank 24th in the NHL in GF/GP (2.83) and 25th in SOG/GP (29.3).

Alex Stalock has been placed on the injured reserve (upper body)

Stalock was placed on IR retroactively to November 1st after sustaining a concussion from a knock from Cody Cizikas. The 35-year-old was one of the league's best redemption stories early on, posting a 3-2-1 record to go along with his .914 SV% and 2.93 GAA.

Husso led the Red Wings onto the ice for warmups.

Husso stopped 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) to continue his impressive early season run with the Red Wings and beat Minnesota 2-1. Husso has been worth every penny the Wings spent to acquire him in the offseason, as he has a 3-1-1 record to go along with one shutout and a .926 SV%. He will face the Washington Capitals who are coming off two straight losses in extra time after dropping their previous contest 3-2 in overtime.

Alex Stalock is considered day-to-day as he is still in concussion protocol

Stalock had to leave the Blackhawks' game Tuesday in the first period due to concussion protocol and is still yet to have a timetable for his return. Arvid Soderblom did his best to fill in stopping 28 of 30 shots in the loss Tuesday while Petr Mrazek (groin) was back on the ice Wednesday in practice.

It will be the second time Johnston has been asked to answer the bell as the scrappy winger last played on October 23rd vs. the Panthers. Through 119 career games, he has 22 points (9G/13A) and 248 PIMs while mostly occupying a fourth line role in New York.

Stalock allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Blackhawks' 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild on Sunday. The loss brought Stalock's record to 3-2-1 with a 2.95 GAA and .914 SV% on the season. He's been terrific so far this season, but the Islanders' offence has been catching fire recently and ranks seventh in the NHL in xGF/60 (3.51) and fifth in GF/gm (3.7).
