Detroit Red Wings News

Lyon has undoubtedly been the Red Wings' best goaltender since making his debut several weeks ago and will start for the fifth time in their last eight games on Tuesday. In four games (3-1-0), Lyon has a sparkling 1.26 GAA and .958 SV%. His .750 quality start rate this season is through a very small sample size but seems mildly attainable given that he had a .714 QS% through 14 starts last season. The Red Wings have won five of their last six (5-1-0) and are -132 road favourites against a Buffalo Sabres team that has lost three straight (0-3-0), being outscored 14-7 in the process.

Kane has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Buffalo Sabres but his Red Wings' debut seems imminent as he was a full participant at practice for the first time on Monday. Kane skated alongside Joe Veleno and former Blackhawks teammate Alex DeBrincat on the Red Wings' second line. Kane seems to be a lock, at least for the time being, with DeBrincat, but there will likely be some line shuffling, especially since J.T. Compher was not at practice, as Kane reacclimates himself to gameplay.

Talbot took the loss in a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Capitals on Wednesday despite facing just 15 shots. It snapped a personal three-game winning streak for Talbot, and he'll be eager to get back in the win column against the Avalanche on Sunday. The 36-year-old has been a pleasant surprise for the Kings this season, registering a .928 SV% and a 10-4-1 record in his first season in Los Angeles. He and the Kings are slight home favourites (-135) against Colorado on Sunday.

Mrazek will return to Chicago's crease on Sunday after Arvid Soderblom got the nod in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to the Jets. Mrazek is coming off a disappointing performance in Thursday night's game in Detroit, allowing five goals on just 29 shots in the 5-1 loss. He draws another difficult matchup on Sunday with the Blackhawks being +240 underdogs in Minnesota.

Larkin missed the Red Wings' previous two games but is expected to draw back into the lineup Saturday as they head to Montreal. The 27-year-old Detroit captain has been sensational this season, on pace for career highs in goals and points due to his eight goals, 13 assists, 69 SOG, 29 PIMs and +3 plus/minus in 20 games played so far this season.

Berggren has been reassigned to the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL after playing two games with the Red Wings, recording two points (0G / 1A), and averaging 11:36 time-on-ice. Berggren was originally recalled to replace Dylan Larkin (undisclosed), who has been away from the team. Nothing is official yet, but Berggren's reassignment to the AHL is an indication that Larkin might return to the lineup on Saturday.

After a string of poor performances and sitting for two straight games, Mrazek will start consecutive games after a strong showing in the Blackhawks' 4-3 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday, saving 33 of 36 shots (.917 SV%). Mrazek and the Blackhawks are sizeable +182 road underdogs against his former team, the Detroit Red Wings, who will likely be without Dylan Larkin. In his career, Mrazek has had strong results against his former club, despite a 3.07 GAA and .883 SV%, recording a 7-2-1 record.

Talbot will start for the Kings on Wednesday and should be well rested, having only played once in the last 10 days, a 29-save performance (.935 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks. Talbot was a workhorse to start the season but could be used more conservatively moving forward as backup goalie Phoenix Copley has had consecutive strong performances, indicating he has refound his game after a poor start. In 14 games this season (10-3-1), Talbot has been among the league's best goaltenders, posting a tremendous 2.02 GAA and .931 SV%. The Kings are sizeable -203 home favourites against a Washington Capitals team that ranks 31st in the league offensively (2.33 GF / GP) and has been outscored 7-1 in their last two games (0-2-0).

Holl had a three-assist performance on October 21st but has been held off the scoresheet in each of the 11 games since. He was a game-time decision on Wednesday against the New York Rangers.

Mrazek has not played the last two games for the Blackhawks but will make his return to the crease on Tuesday. Mrazek has been mostly solid this season, posting a 3.24 GAA and .904 SV% in 11 games (4-6-0), but is in the midst of his worst three-game stretch of the season (0-3-0), allowing 11 goals on 69 combined shots (.841 SV%). The Blackhawks have lost six of their last seven (1-6-0) and are +165 home underdogs against a Seattle Kraken team that has at least a point in five of their last six (3-1-2).

Smith was a healthy scratch for the Stars' previous two games but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday as he takes Ty Dellandrea's spot on Dallas' fourth line. The 34-year-old veteran is in his 13th NHL season and has two goals, an assist, 15 PIMs and 28 SOG in 17 games played this year.

Holl had a three-assist performance on October 21st but has been held off the scoresheet in each of the 11 games since. He is currently battling an undisclosed injury and will be a game-time decision on Wednesday against the New York Rangers.

Larkin's absence at practice, along with the call-up of Jonatan Berggren on Tuesday, signals that his status for the Red Wings game against the New York Rangers on Wednesday is up in the air. Larking is in the midst of a three-game point streak, scoring four points (3G / 1A) and firing 14 shots on goal in that time.
