Ville Husso - NHL News & Rumors

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.

Wins season finale Husso made 17 saves in a 5-4 win over the Predators on Thursday.

Impact Husso finished the regular season with a 10-8-2 record, 3.25 GAA and .884 save percentage in 19 starts. Barring a twist of fate, Husso will warm the end of the bench as Lukas Dostal leads the Ducks' first postseason charge since 2018.

In goal Thursday Husso will guard the road goal versus the Predators on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Husso will get the start even though the Ducks still have positioning to play for. He has gone 2-1-1 over his last four games, but he's allowed 16 goals on just 102 shots (.843 save percentage) in that span. The Predators are without a few regulars for their season finale, but Husso will need to do better than he has lately to give the Ducks the best chance of finishing where they want to in the standings.

Poor showing in loss Husso stopped 15 of 19 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Flames. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact A three-goal second period for the Flames was the difference. Husso didn't do well despite facing a low shot volume. He's allowed 16 goals on 102 shots over his last four games, going a surprising 2-1-1 in that span. Husso is down to 9-8-2 with a 3.21 GAA and an .887 save percentage across 19 appearances. The Ducks haven't gotten great work out of Lukas Dostal lately, but they may need to ride with their No. 1 for the week ahead, which features no back-to-back sets. The Ducks' next game is Tuesday versus the Predators.

Starting versus Flames Husso will protect the home goal versus the Flames on Saturday, Ducks PA Announcer Phil Hulett reports.

Impact Husso is set to start the second half of a back-to-back set after Lukas Dostal was in the crease for Friday's 6-2 loss to the Blues. Husso has allowed 12 goals over his last three games, but he's earned a 2-0-1 record in that span. The 31-year-old has a favorable matchup on hand, though the Ducks will need to snap out of their recent struggles to give him sufficient support.

Allows five goals in OT loss Husso turned away 23 of 28 shots on net in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Husso struggled in the third period, allowing three goals to lead to overtime, where he ultimately surrendered the game-winning tally with five seconds remaining in the extra frame. With the loss, he now has a 9-7-2 record, a 3.18 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 18 appearances this season. While he has struggled down the stretch of the season, the 31-year-old goalie has managed to extend each of his last three starts to overtime and has won two of them. Husso is a risky fantasy option for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs, but could offer value as a matchup-dependent spot start in deep leagues.

Between pipes against Leafs Husso will tend the twine at home versus Toronto on Monday, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Impact In his last five outings, Husso has registered a 3-2-0 record, 2.60 GAA and .918 save percentage. While the Ducks will want to maintain their spot atop the Pacific Division, Husso could see some extra opportunities down the stretch in order to keep Lukas Dostal fresh for a postseason run.

Comes away with overtime win Husso stopped 23 of 25 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.

Impact Husso didn't have a lead to protect at any point in regulation. Mikael Granlund twice answered Flames goals, and he scored at 4:59 of overtime to secure the win. Husso is up to 9-7-1 with a 3.06 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 17 appearances this season. If he can secure one more victory this season, he'll get to double digits for the first time since 2022-23 with the Red Wings. Lukas Dostal is likely to get the nod Saturday in Edmonton.

Between pipes on road Husso will tend the twine on the road versus the Flames on Thursday, Alyson Lozoff on Turner Sports reports.

Impact Husso has appeared in just four of the Ducks' 15 games coming out of the Olympic break, going 2-2-0 with a 2.81 GAA. If Anaheim can open up a lead in the Pacific, it might decide to utilize Husso more down the stretch in order to keep Lukas Dostal fresh for a postseason run.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Wins high-scoring battle Husso stopped 24 of 29 shots in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sabres.

Impact Husso got a rare start outside of a back-to-back situation. He didn't play all that well, but it was a high-scoring game, and the Ducks were able to get the win in the end. The 31-year-old netminder is up to 8-7-1 with a 3.14 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 16 appearances this season. Expect Lukas Dostal to be back between the pipes Tuesday in Vancouver to start a three-game road trip.
