Lyon suffered a lower-body injury Thursday and will not dress against the Maple Leafs on Friday, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Lyon was slated to get the start in goal in Toronto, but Cam Talbot will now get the call. The Red Wings recalled Ville Husso from the AHL on an emergency basis to back up Talbot. Lyon has lost his last two starts, allowing 10 goals on 67 shots and is 2-3-1 with a 2.78 GAA and a .916 save percentage in six appearances this season.

Talbot will defend the visiting crease in Toronto on Friday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Alex Lyon was slated to get the start but he battling a lower-body injury that forced the Red Wings to recall Ville Husso on an emergency basis. Talbot has been terrific this season, going 4-1-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .929 save percentage in seven appearances. He will face the Maple Leafs, who will be missing their top star Auston Matthews with an upper-body injury.

Quick stopped nine of 10 shots in relief during Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Sabres.

Quick entered the game after Igor Shesterkin gave up five goals in the first two periods, and the 38-year-old veteran conceded a goal of his own midway through the third period. Quick has made just three appearances this season, going 2-0-0 with a 1.65 GAA and a .946 save percentage.

Shesterkin stopped seven of 12 shots before being pulled in the second period during Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Sabres.

Shesterkin was off to a great start, posting a 6-2-1 record with a 2.22 GAA and a sizzling .933 save percentage in nine appearances before this woeful outing. One bad appearance shouldn't change Shesterkin's status as one of the best goaltenders in the NHL over the first month of the season, though. While it will inflate his numbers, the 28-year-old should remain an elite option across all fantasy formats going forward.

Luukkonen stopped 25 of 26 shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Rangers.

Luukkonen earned his second consecutive win and has given up two or fewer goals in three straight outings, so he's been on a roll of late. Winner in five of his past seven appearances, Luukkonen owns a 5-2-0 record with a 2.31 GAA and a .924 save percentage across that span.

Wedgewood stopped 28 of 34 shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.

Wedgewood has struggled massively in his three appearances this season, giving up at least three goals each time en route to a 1-2-0 record, a 4.37 GAA and a subpar .841 save percentage. Wedgewood shouldn't be targeted in any fantasy format going forward, both due to his struggles but also due to his backup role behind Juuse Saros.

Hofer allowed three goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Utah.

After opening the campaign with three consecutive victories, Hofer has lost his last two outings while giving up a combined eight goals over that span. The 24-year-old netminder wasn't given much help in Thursday's contest -- Utah outshot St. Louis by more than a two-to-one margin. Through five appearances in 2024-25, Hofer is sporting a 3-2-0 record, .903 save percentage and 3.33 GAA.

Ingram made 13 saves on 15 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over St. Louis.

Ingram helped his club snap a five-game road losing streak in the win. The 27-year-old wasn't overly busy Thursday as a result of the Blues not being able to sustain consistent pressure in the offensive zone. After picking up victories in four of his first five starts, Ingram is 2-2-2 over his last six appearances. Overall, the Saskatchewan native is up to a 6-2-3 record, .880 save percentage and 3.42 GAA through 11 games.

Bobrovsky stopped 16 of 18 shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

Bobrovsky was beaten in the second and third periods, but it wasn't enough to put the victory at risk. The star goaltender has won each of his last four starts and has played a prominent role in the Panthers' ongoing six-game winning run, posting a 4-0-0 with a 2.25 GAA and a .916 save percentage in that span.

Stolarz was the first goalie to exit the ice Friday, Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Detroit.

Stolarz is coming off a 29-save shutout performance versus Boston on Tuesday, his first shutout of the 2024-25 campaign. It's been a strong start to the year for the 30-year-old backstop, having gone 5-2-1 with a 2.12 GAA and .928 save percentage in nine appearances. With the Leafs entering a back-to-back, look for Joseph Woll to get the starting nod versus the Canadiens at home Saturday.
