Red Wings Recall Sebastian Cossa on Emergency Basis, Reassign Erik Gustafsson

The move covers John Gibson's day-to-day absence.

Overview

  • Detroit announced an emergency recall of goaltending prospect Sebastian Cossa from AHL Grand Rapids ahead of tonight's game against the Golden Knights.
  • Defenseman Erik Gustafsson was reassigned to Grand Rapids after clearing waivers to open the active roster spot.
  • John Gibson left Monday's game with an upper-body injury, skated today, and is considered day-to-day, according to coach Todd McLellan.
  • Cam Talbot will start in Vegas with Cossa serving as the backup, and McLellan said he does not expect Gibson to miss much time.
  • Cossa, 23, is posting a 24-4-3 record with a 1.99 GAA, a .927 save percentage, and five shutouts in the AHL, and he has one NHL relief appearance as future competition could also involve prospect Trey Augustine if he turns pro.
