Goalies

Stats in preseason

Detroit: Ville Husso (0-0-0, 3.00 GAA) / Carter Gylander (0-0-0, 0.00 GAA)

Husso will get the start in net tonight for the Red Wings, he last played in the Red Wings’ first preseason game playing the first 40 minutes stopping 15 of the 17 shots he faced. Gylander was one of the only goalies that didn’t play last night so he may likely be the backup for tonight’s game.

Pittsburgh: Tristan Jarry (0-0-0, 3.75 GAA) / Filip Larsson (0-0-0, 1.74 GAA)

Jarry got the start the other night allowing two goals on 26 shots in 31:33 minutes. Larsson will be the backup who has played in two games and has allowed one goal on 31 total shots between the two games, he has a .947 save percentage and a 1.74 goals-against average.
