Red Wings announce status of Ville Husso

The Detroit Red Wings have been without the services of starting goaltender Ville Husso for the past several games, as he's been dealing with a nagging injury of late after having easily eclipsed his previous career high in games played.

The good news for Detroit is that backup Alex Nedeljkovic, who struggled mightily in the first part of this season and was relegated to the American Hockey League affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins, has performed well since being brought back up to the big club. And the even better news now is that it looks like Husso is ready to get back into action.

According to comments made by head coach Derek Lalonde, it will be Husso back between the pipes for Detroit's next game tomorrow night against the Original 6 and Atlantic Division rival Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre.

Husso, who is in his first year with the Red Wings after being acquired from the St. Louis Blues in a trade last summer, has amassed a record of 25-19-6 with a 3.02 goals against average, .899 save percentage and three shutouts.

Detroit will take on the Canadiens tomorrow night starting at 7:00 PM EST.
