Red Wings' Ville Husso: Left alone during Lightning storm
Rotowire
Husso made 27 saves in a 5-0 loss to the Lightning on Thursday.
Husso got no help from his teammates, who seemed to be simply looking forward to the offseason. He ends the season on an 0-3-1 run and was 3-9-2 in his last 14. Husso and the Wings have struggled as the season progressed, but it's clear he brings stability to the Wings' net. Overall, he finished this season with the most wins of his career (26), including four shutouts. Husso's fantasy stock will rise next season if the team can take another step forward.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Falls to Sabres in shootout
Rotowire
Husso stopped 30 shots in regulation and overtime and one of three shootout attempts in Thursday's 7-6 loss to Buffalo.
After shutting out the Canadiens on Tuesday in his first start back from a lower-body injury that had sidelined him since March 20, Husso came crashing back down to earth. The 28-year-old netminder has a career-high 26 wins and four shutouts this season, but they come with a mediocre 3.01 GAA and .899 save percentage. He still figures to be Detroit's No. 1 goalie next season barring a significant addition over the summer, and if the team's young roster takes a step forward, Husso figures to benefit.

Red Wings' Ville Husso: Gets buried by Avs
Rotowire
Husso stopped 16 of 21 shots before being replaced by Magnus Hellberg early in the third period of Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
The goaltending switch was a desperation move by Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde, as Husso really didn't have much chance on any of the five pucks that beat him. The 28-year-old netminder has just two wins in his last eight starts, going 2-5-1 with an .865 save percentage, but his starting job likely isn't in any danger down the stretch from the 31-year-old Hellberg.
