The Detroit Red Wings have opted not to call up goalie Sebastian Cossa as the season concludes, instead bringing in 2024 first-round draft pick Michael Brandsegg-Nygård. Cossa, who was selected in the first round of the 2021 NHL Draft, has played only one NHL game, which he won in a shootout against the Buffalo Sabres on December 9, 2024. As the Wings finish their season against the Florida Panthers, coach Todd McLellan explained that they have exhausted their recall options, leaving Cossa with limited NHL experience. Meanwhile, the Griffins, where Cossa is currently playing, have clinched a playoff berth and feature three strong goaltenders, including Trey Augustine, a recent addition and winner of the Mike Richter Award. McLellan emphasized the importance of the Griffins' goaltending depth as they prepare for their playoff push.
