Detroit Red Wings DFS SPIN
Ville Husso (lower body) is considered to be week-to-week, per coach Derek Lalone. Husso was injured in the first period of Monday’s 4-3 loss to Anaheim. He has posted a 9-5-2 record this season with a 3.53 GAA and an .893 save percentage in 18 appearances. Alex Lyon (upper body) is also listed as week-to-week, so the Red Wings signed Michael Hutchinson on Tuesday to serve as James Reimer’s backup.
Winnipeg Jets DFS SPIN
Connor Hellebuyck will protect the home net Friday against Boston, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports. Hellebuyck’s five-game win streak was snapped in Monday’s 3-2 overtime loss to Montreal. He has posted a 15-6-2 record this season with a 2.43 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 23 appearances. The Bruins sit 15th in the league this campaign with 3.17 goals per game.
