The 27-year-old goalie saved 17 of 18 shots (.944 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. He has a 0.80 GAA and a .965 SV% in three appearances (1-0-1).

Goalie Start
Tarasov will start vs. Philadelphia on Thursday.
The struggling 1-3-2 Red Wings will turn to Tarasov to tend the twine for just the second time this season on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 27-year-old Tarasov hasn't been called upon much this season, but he was excellent in his only outing, stopping all 30 shots he faced and recording a shutout in a 1-0 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Tarasov has a favourable matchup on Thursday against the Flyers, one of the few teams that have been more offensively challenged than the Red Wings, scoring just 10 goals in eight games (0-5-3).

Danielson is a healthy scratch for Tuesday's game vs. New Jersey.
Goalie Start
Gibson will start vs. New Jersey on Tuesday.
Gibson had a tremendous inaugural season with the Red Wings in 2025-26, nearly leading them to a postseason berth, but 2026-27 has started rocky for the team, including Gibson. The 33-year-old American goalie had a brutal previous outing, allowing five goals on 15 shots (.667 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Seattle Kraken. He has a 3.43 GAA and .862 SV% in four games this season (1-3-0). The Red Wings enter Tuesday's contest at home with -105 odds against a New Jersey Devils team that lost 4-1 to the Ottawa Senators last night.

The 31-year-old Compher has spent most of his career as a bottom-six forward, but has been thrust into a more offensive role for the Red Wings. He scored 28 points (11G / 17A) in 82 games last season.
