John Leonard - Sent back to Grand Rapids Leonard was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.

Impact Leonard spent the last four contests with the Red Wings, where he appeared in three games. During that time, he posted eight shots on net, four hits and a blocked shot. With the returns of Marco Kasper (upper body) and Mason Appleton (undisclosed) looming, Leonard will likely remain in the AHL until the Red Wings experience another bad run of injuries.

Nate Danielson - Returned to minors Danielson was loaned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.

Impact Danielson has been a healthy scratch in three of Detroit's last four games. He has chipped in two assists, six shots on net, three blocked shots and 14 hits in 13 NHL appearances this season.

Michal Postava - Dropped to AHL Postava was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.

Impact With John Gibson (lower body) unavailable, Postava has served as Daniil Tarasov's backup for the last two games. Postava's return to the minors could bode well for Gibson's return in Tuesday's road matchup against St. Louis.

Daniil Tarasov - Gets no help in loss Saturday Tarasov stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact The Avalanche's power play came alive, converting three times against Tarasov. This was the 27-year-old goalie's third straight loss, though it was the first time all season he's allowed more than three goals in a game. He's now 2-3-2 with a 2.10 GAA and a .919 save percentage over eight outings (six starts). Given Tarasov's strong play between the pipes, he could start to chip away at John Gibson's (lower body) starting role once the latter goalie is healthy again. The Red Wings' road trip continues versus the Blues on Tuesday.

Wilmer Skoog - Trio of helpers Saturday Skoog notched three assists in AHL Grand Rapids' 6-4 loss to Rockford on Saturday.

Impact Skoog is up to one goal and seven assists over 14 contests in his first year for the Griffins. He had 37 points in 61 regular-season outings last year, so he's on a similar scoring pace as last year despite less effectiveness as a finisher. Skoog will likely spend most or all of 2026-27 in the AHL.

John Gibson - Remains out Saturday Gibson (lower body) isn't available for Saturday's game in Colorado, per the NHL media site.

Impact Gibson is set to miss his second straight game because of the injury. He has a 4-5-1 record, 3.46 GAA and .860 save percentage in 11 outings in 2026-27. Michal Postava is up with Detroit to serve as the No. 2 option, and Daniil Tarasov should get the bulk of the workload during Gibson's absence.

Daniil Tarasov - In goal Saturday Tarasov will guard the road goal versus the Avalanche on Saturday, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

Impact Tarasov will get another start while John Gibson (lower body) is still on the mend. Tarasov stopped 31 of 33 shots in a loss to the Golden Knights in his last outing. The Avalanche will pose a significant challenge in this matchup, so Tarasov will be a risky fantasy option until he starts seeing easier matchups.

Albert Johansson - Traveling with team Johansson (undisclosed) will be with the Red Wings for their upcoming four-game road trip, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports Friday.

Impact Johansson may not be available at the start of the trip, but the fact that he will be with the team is a good indication that he'll return soon. The 25-year-old blueliner has already missed six games due to his undisclosed injury. In 11 outings prior to getting hurt, Johansson failed to find the back of the net while recording one assist, 14 shots and 12 blocks.

Daniil Tarasov - Strong performance despite defeat Tarasov stopped 32 of 34 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Tarasov kept Vegas scoreless through 40 minutes and finished with a .941 save percentage, but Trevor Connelly's late winner denied him a positive result. The netminder delivered an encouraging performance despite falling to 2-2-2, particularly with John Gibson (lower body) currently carrying a day-to-day status. Tarasov has posted a save percentage of .920 or higher in his last two starts and in four of his seven outings this season. He's made three starts in a row and should continue to see more playing time until Gibson is ready to return.

Anton Johansson - Scores lone goal in Thursday's loss Johansson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Johansson broke a scoreless tie early in the third period, converting a rebound off the end boards for his second goal of the season. The young defenseman provided Detroit's only offense, but his contributions weren't enough to prevent another defeat. His limited offensive deployment and modest shot generation leave him with little immediate fantasy appeal outside deeper formats.

John Gibson - Returns to practice Friday Gibson (lower body) participated in Friday's practice session, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Gibson sustained a lower-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Lightning, and he was unavailable for Thursday's matchup against the Golden Knights. It's not yet clear whether Gibson will be able to suit up for Saturday's road game against Colorado, but he doesn't appear to be facing a long-term absence.
