Ducks' Ville Husso: Bombarded by Jets in OT loss
Rotowire
Husso turned aside 42 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Jets.
The 30-year-old netminder did everything he could to steal a win for the Ducks in their regular-season finale, but Mark Scheifele snapped a puck past him 71 seconds into OT to end Anaheim's campaign. After a rough beginning to the season as part of the goaltending jumble in Detroit, Husso looked better in four late-season outings for Anaheim, going 1-1-1 with a 2.99 GAA and .925 save percentage. He'll try to find a backup job as a free agent this offseason.

Ducks' Ville Husso: Recalled by Anaheim
Rotowire

Husso spent the last two weeks in the AHL, but he'll rejoin the Ducks to provide additional depth after John Gibson sustained a lower-body injury against the Flames on Thursday. It's not yet clear whether Gibson will miss additional time, but Husso will be available to serve as Lukas Dostal's backup if needed. Husso has made 11 appearances between the Red Wings and Ducks this year, going 1-6-2 with a 3.71 GAA and .874 save percentage.

Ducks' Ville Husso: Returns to AHL
Rotowire
Husso was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Thursday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
John Gibson (lower body) is returning to the crease for Thursday's game versus the Predators, so Husso's presence is no longer needed on the NHL roster. Husso will likely be the next man up should another injury impact the availability of Gibson or Lukas Dostal.

Ducks' Ville Husso: Allows two goals in relief outing
Rotowire
Husso stopped 10 of 12 shots in relief of Lukas Dostal in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Blues.
Husso played in the third period, but the Blues didn't let up their pressure from earlier in the game. While he won't wear the loss for this performance, Husso has now allowed five goals on 51 shots over two outings with the Ducks, a fairly pedestrian showing. He is 1-6-2 with a 3.71 GAA and an .874 save percentage over 11 games when accounting for his time with the Red Wings earlier in the season. Husso will remain in the NHL until John Gibson (lower body) is cleared to return, but he's likely to stay in the backup role.

Ducks' Ville Husso: Gives up three goals in loss
Rotowire
Husso allowed three goals on 39 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Utah.
Husso gave up a goal in each period of his Ducks debut, and that was enough to stick him with the loss. The 30-year-old netminder dropped to 1-6-2 on the year over 10 appearances between Anaheim and Detroit, and he's added an ugly 3.62 GAA and .876 save percentage. The Ducks don't have any back-to-back sets over the next week, so Husso is unlikely to draw another start any time soon, with Lukas Dostal set to handle the goaltending duties until John Gibson (lower body) is ready to return.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Sent back down
Rotowire
Husso was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Saturday.
Husso will return to the minors after joining the Red Wings from the minors on an emergency basis. Alex Lyon suited up and made a relief appearance in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Lightning, which was enough to prove his health in his return from an upper-body injury.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Rises to NHL
Rotowire
Husso was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday under emergency conditions.
Husso's promotion comes after Alex Lyon (upper body) sustained an injury in Tuesday's game versus the Senators. Cam Talbot will likely take on a starting role while Lyon is out -- the Red Wings don't have a back-to-back within the next week, so Husso may not get a start if Lyon's injury only causes a brief absence.
