Ville Husso health is still a worries for the Detroit Red Wings and Steve Yzerman
The Detroit Red Wings are optimistic about Ville Husso's health heading into the new season but also cautious.
After Ville Husso's last full NHL game on December 14, 2023, he faced a lengthy absence due to a lower-body injury-a significant concern for any goaltender. While Ville Husso feels 100 percent healthy, as coach Derek Lalonde noted, GM Steve Yzerman remains pragmatic, understanding the risks involved.
To safeguard the team's goaltending situation, the Red Wings have bolstered their depth by adding Cam Talbot and Jack Campbell to their roster, alongside Husso and Alex Lyon. Yzerman's strategy reflects a realistic approach to the uncertainty surrounding Husso's ability to remain healthy and perform consistently.
Last season, Ville Husso attempted comebacks, only to face setbacks, including a brief return in February and a failed rehab stint with the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins. These issues have led the Detroit Red Wings to approach reports of his recovery cautiously.
Despite the challenges, Derek Lalonde emphasized Ville Husso's enthusiasm for the competition within the team. The Detroit Red Wings are preparing for the season with the mentality that saw them navigate similar challenges last year, hoping for a healthy and competitive roster between the pipes.
