Goaltending: Ville Husso, James Reimer, and Alex Lyon, last season's inconsistent trio, are bolstered by veteran Cam Talbot, who is expected to provide stability and experience.
Challenges: The team must overcome the loss of around 60 goals from departed players and ensure consistent goaltending. Husso's health and performance are crucial, with potential for a move before the season.
The Red Wings have improved their defense and goaltending depth. If key players perform well and the team finds consistency, Detroit has a realistic shot at ending its playoff drought this season.
