Ville Husso - NHL News & Rumors

Downed by Devils Husso stopped 25 of 28 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to New Jersey. The Devils' final goal was scored into an empty net.

Impact The Devils jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period, and while Husso kept the Ducks in the contest, his offense never got going while playing its third game in four nights on an east coast road swing. Husso has gone 1-2-0 in his first four outings of the season with a 3.09 GAA and .888 save percentage, numbers which won't put any pressure on Lukas Dostal at the top of the depth chart.

Between pipes against New Jersey Husso will start Thursday's road game against New Jersey, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Impact Husso will defend the crease for the third time in the Ducks' last six games. Across his last two starts, he's gone 1-1-0 with a 3.50 GAA and .881 save percentage. The Devils are averaging 3.22 goals per game to begin the regular season, which is tied for 11th in the NHL.

Roughed up by Rangers Husso made 25 saves in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.

Impact The Ducks looked sluggish to begin an east coast road trip as travel delays prevented them from arriving in New York until the wee hours Monday morning, and Husso's ratios paid the price. Through three outings (two starts) to begin the season as Lukas Dostal's backup, Husso sports a 1-1-0 record with a 3.09 GAA and .885 save percentage. Anaheim doesn't play back-to-back games again until early November, so the veteran netminder's workload is likely to be very limited over the next couple weeks.

Set to start Monday Husso is expected to defend the road net against the Rangers on Monday, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

Impact Husso was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, putting him on track to get the first half of Anaheim's back-to-back. He has allowed two goals on 31 shots in two appearances while posting a 1-0-0 start to the 2026-27 campaign. The Rangers (6-3-1) rank 23rd in the league with 2.80 goals per game this season.

Picks up win in first start Husso stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Husso got the easier matchup in the second half of a back-to-back for the Ducks, and he got the job done. The 31-year-old netminder probably won't see a lot of work behind Lukas Dostal, but Husso is worth streaming when he gets the nod in favorable matchups. He went 10-8-2 with a 3.25 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 20 regular-season outings in 2025-26, though the Ducks' young defense appears to have taken a step forward early this season. Expect Dostal between the pipes for Tuesday's rematch against the Flames in Anaheim.

Expected starter Saturday Husso is set to start on the road against Calgary on Saturday, per Ducks play-by-play broadcaster Aaron Cooney.

Impact Husso hasn't made a start yet this season, though he did stop the two shots he faced in 15:58 of ice time during a relief appearance Wednesday. He had a 10-8-2 record, 3.25 GAA and .884 save percentage in 20 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. The Flames are off to a rough 0-4-0 start while averaging just 1.50 goals per game.

Light work in relief outing Husso stopped both shots he faced in relief of Lukas Dostal in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Husso played the third period after Dostal gave up five goals in the middle frame. This was the first action of the year for Husso, and it'll serve as a tune-up with the 31-year-old likely to start over the weekend. The Ducks have a back-to-back upcoming, as they'll play in Winnipeg on Friday and then in Calgary on Saturday. Beyond that back-to-back, Husso is likely to resume serving in a backup role.

Ugly outing Thursday Husso stopped 13 of 19 shots in Thursday's 10-0 preseason loss to the Sharks.

Impact The Ducks brought their most of AHL roster for this contest, aside from Husso, who is projected to be the NHL backup. The game went about as expected, with Husso getting no help in the ugly loss. Laurent Brossoit didn't do much better, allowing four goals on eight shots, so this isn't likely to change the pecking order for starts. Expect Lukas Dostal to operate as the starter in 2026-27 with Husso serving as backup as long as he can produce passable numbers.

Set to start Husso will protect the road goal in Thursday's preseason game versus the Sharks, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Impact Husso is set for his first start of the preseason. He's projected to be the backup to Lukas Dostal to begin the 2026-27 campaign. Husso went 10-8-2 with a 3.25 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 20 regular-season outings in 2025-26.

Draws in for relief outing Husso stopped 17 of 19 shots in relief of Lukas Dostal in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3.

Impact Husso played the final two periods and gave up the last two goals of Mitch Marner's hat trick. The Golden Knights also had an empty-netter in the third. Husso has stopped 27 of 30 shots over two relief appearances this postseason. After the game, head coach Joel Quenneville didn't commit to a starting goalie for Sunday's Game 4, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports, so it's possible Husso could get a start. In any case, it appears Dostal is on a short leash, which could lead to a switch in the crease if Game 4 goes poorly for the Ducks.

Makes relief appearance Husso stopped 10 of 11 shots in relief of Lukas Dostal in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

Impact Husso made his first playoff appearance since 2022, when he went 2-5 with a 3.67 GAA and an .890 save percentage over seven games for the Blues. The 31-year-old was brought in to spark the Ducks after a sluggish start to this contest. Husso isn't likely to see much additional playing time this postseason as long as Dostal stays healthy. Expect Husso to be back in the backup role for Game 6 in Anaheim on Thursday.
