The Hockey News’s Ian Kennedy examines the changes made to teams’ respective NHL creases this offseason, including the Red Wings’ trade for Ville Husso:
Detroit Red Wings – Ville Husso: Both Alex Nedeljkovic and Ville Husso have shown flashes of skill, but who will emerge as the No. 1? Nedeljkovic played 59 games last season for Detroit, but Husso enters with a better GAA and save percentage (albeit playing with a superior defensive team that made the playoffs) in 40 games. Last season when Thomas Greiss was in net, the Red Wings fared worse; with Husso, the team will have the goaltending to give Detroit a chance to win every night.
Continued; I’m fairly certain that Husso and Nedejlkovic will serve as a 1A/1B tandem over the course of the first half to two thirds of the 2022-2023 schedule, with a “favorite” emerging down the stretch.
