The Detroit Red Wings host the Colorado Avalanche this evening (7 PM EDT start on FanDuel SportsNet Extra/Altitude/97.1 FM), and the Red Wings will be starting Ville Husso, probably for the next couple of games, with Erik Gustafsson and Joe Veleno rotating into the Wings’ lineup tonight.

I don’t get why Lalonde is riding Husso, get Cossa in a game or get him back to Grand Rapids.
