Husso will get the start Monday against the Los Angeles Kings at home.

He will look to continue his domination of the crease Monday and keep the Red Wings' surprising undefeated record intact.

Mrazek will get his second start of the early season Saturday after getting lit up for five goals on 35 shots Wednesday vs Colorado. The 11-year veteran will be hoping a much easier matchup against the winless 0-3-0 Sharks will lead to better results in his second start of 2022-23.
Husso will get the first of the Red Wings' back-to-back games as they start their season Friday. Acquired in the offseason, Husso enjoyed a breakout campaign in his second year with St.Louis in 2021-22, posting an impressive .919 SV%, 2.56 GAA while collecting 25 wins off 38 games started. He will be looking to start his Detroit career out on the right foot Friday.

Mrazek draws a terrible matchup in his inaugural game with the Blackhawks, matching up against previous Stanley Cup Champions, the Colorado Avalanche and their high-flying offence. Mrazek joins Chicago from Toronto after a terrible 2021-22 season which saw him waived after posting a .888 SV% and 3.34 GAA on one of the league's top teams.
Poehling was a first-round pick back in 2017 and has 13 goals and nine assists (22 points) in 85 career NHL games with Montreal. Poehling has spent some time in the NHL in each of the last three years but should be a bottom-6 option for the Penguins in 2022-23.
Strome found a home on the Rangers' second line playing with Artemi Panarin for the last three seasons, tallying 53 goals and 109 assists (162 points) in 200 games--22 goals and 45 assists (67 points) per 82-game pace. In Anaheim he should play a similar role as the No.2 centre behind Trevor Zegras but likely will not have the star power of Panarin on his wing.
