Postava was named the AHL Player of the Week on Monday.
Postava won both of his outings with AHL Grand Rapids last week, stopping 58 of 60 shots. He's getting a chance to run with the starting job for the Griffins after the Red Wings dealt Sebastian Cossa to the Mammoth in the offseason. Should something sideline John Gibson or Daniil Tarasov at the NHL level, Postava would likely receive a call-up.

Rotowire
Postava was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Saturday.
Postava was elevated from Grand Rapids on Friday as insurance for John Gibson (neck), but Gibson was fine to play Saturday versus the Devils. Postava will likely close out the season with the Griffins, who have been one of the best teams in the AHL all season. He'll compete with Sebastian Cossa for playing time in the AHL.

Red Wings' Michal Postava: Up from minors
Rotowire
Postava was called up from AHL Grand Rapids on Thursday under emergency conditions.
Postava has a 1.86 GAA and a .932 save percentage in 21 outings with Grand Rapids this season. He hasn't made his NHL debut yet. Cam Talbot (undisclosed) won't be available for Friday's road game against Buffalo, so Postava or John Gibson will get the start with the other netminder serving as the understudy.
