According to Red Wings prospects, they are calling up goalie Sebastian Cossa from the Grand Rapids Griffins. It may be as an emergency goalie situation, but could also be to serve as the backup with Alex Lyon playing last night following Mrazek’s injury. Nonetheless, it could also signify that Mrazek may have a significant injury; time will tell with Mrazek. Cossa this season in Grand Rapids is 19-11-5 with a 2.38 goals-against average, a .913 save percentage, and a shutout. He made one appearance with Detroit this season, which came in relief of Ville Husso. Cossa got the win as he stopped 12 of the 14 shots he faced.
Sebastian Cossa
The Red Wings drafted Cossa with the 15th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. He debuted in 2022-23 with the Toledo Walleye of the ECHL, playing in 46 games, going 26-16-1. Cossa had a 2.56 goals-against average, a .913 save percentage, and four shutouts. He appeared in seven playoff games for the Walleye that season, going 5-2-0 with a 2.32 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage. Cossa would also play in three games with Grand Rapids, going 1-1-0 with a 5.57 goals-against average and a .783 save percentage. Last season in 40 games with the Griffins, he went 22-9-9 with a 2.41 goals-against average, a .913 save percentage, and two shutouts. In nine playoff games, he went 5-4-0 with a 2.72 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage.
