Danielson has yet to play in the 2025-26 season, recovering from an injury, and will make his debut at the AHL level with the Grand Rapids Griffins. The 21-year-old forward was drafted ninth-overall by the Red Wings in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. He had 39 points (12G / 27A) in 71 games with Grand Rapids last season.

The Red Wings' five-game winning streak snapped last night in a 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in the front end of a back-to-back. They will switch to Talbot between the pipes on Thursday against the New York Islanders. The 38-year-old Talbot has been sensational early in the 2025-26 season, posting a 1.78 GAA and .932 SV% in four appearances (3-0-0). The Red Wings enter Thursday's contest as +115 road underdogs against an Islanders team riding a three-game winning streak.

After a poor season-opening performance for Gibson, allowing five goals on 13 shots (.615 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, Cam Talbot has led the way between the pipes for the Red Wings, leading them during a five-game winning streak. That said, Gibson has been much better lately, saving 47 of 50 shots (.940 SV%) in his last two games (2-0-0), and will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Buffalo Sabres. The Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest with even -105 odds against a 2-4-0 Sabres team.

Kane got tripped up in overtime on Friday and crashed hard into the end boards. Kane suffered an upper-body injury in the collision and did not play on Sunday. He will miss at least one more game, beginning with Wednesday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres. Kane's next opportunity to return will be on Friday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Michael Brandsegg-Nygard will likely play in Kane's usual second-line position on Wednesday.

Kane got tripped up in overtime on Friday and crashed hard into the end boards. Kane suffered an upper-body injury on the collision and will not play Sunday vs. the Oilers. Jonatan Berggren skated in Kane's spot on the Red Wings' second line in Saturday's practice.

Raymond participated in the morning skate but will miss his second straight game. With him still sidelined, Mason Appleton is expected to remain on the Red Wings’ top line, while James van Riemsdyk continues to skate on the top power-play unit.

Raymond exited Monday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after only 7:58 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. He did not play on Wednesday, but has skated on his own prior to practice. His status for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning is uncertain. The 23-year-old Raymond was off to a strong start to the season, with three points (2G / 1A) in three games.

Gibson had a poor debut in Detroit's season-opening matchup, allowing five goals on 13 shots (.615 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, prompting a goalie change in their next three games, in which the team went undefeated (3-0-0) courtesy of strong play from veteran goalie Cam Talbot. That said, Gibson will be back between the pipes on Friday, looking to rebound against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 32-year-old Gibson has battled injuries over his career but played well when called upon in his final season with the Anaheim Ducks in 2024-25, posting a 2.77 GAA and .911 SV% in 29 outings (11-11-2). The Red Wings enter Friday's contest as +128 home underdogs against a Lightning team off to a disappointing 1-2-1 start in 2025-26.
