Red Wings Summon Sebastian Cossa to Colorado Under Emergency Conditions
About two and a half hours before Tuesday night's game against the Colorado Avalance, the Detroit Red Wings summoned their top goaltending prospect—2021 first round pick Sebastian Cossa—to Denver under emergency conditions.

Cossa's recall suggests that, without him, Detroit wouldn't have two healthy goaltenders to face the Avalanche. If the Red Wings did have two healthy goaltenders, they wouldn't have brought Cossa out to Colorado for the final game of a road trip.

Over-Performing Late Round Red Wings Prospect Emmitt Finnie Reporting to Grand Rapids
Injury Update: Erik Gustafsson's Season Likely Over
In Monday's 5–1 Detroit win over the Utah Hockey Club, starting goaltender Petr Mrazek had to exit due to injury before the game was two minutes old. That sent Alex Lyon (Monday's back-up, originally intended to start Tuesday against Colorado) into the game, where he backstopped the victory.
After the game, coach Todd McLellan ruled out that Mrazek would play against the Avalanche. "Alex's [opportunity] was supposed to come tomorrow, but that's how things work sometimes—you get it the day before you expect it. He handled himself real well," he said of Lyon's relief effort.
Then, when asked about the possibility that Lyon (who only faced 17 shots) might start again the next night in Denver, McLellan said, "We're playing at elevation that's a little bit higher. The building was cooking tonight, at least it was down below. Ice conditions were tough. It's taxing on him. We can talk about it, but I don't think that'll happen." In suggesting Lyon was unlikely to be an option to play (just short of) both legs of a back-to-back, McLellan perhaps offered an explanation as to why Lyon also would be unable to back up Tuesday.
In all likelihood, it will be Cam Talbot starting for Detroit against the Avs, with Cossa backing up, but that won't be official until warm-ups.
