If Husso's game continues on this trajectory, he could either be a good call-up option in the event of an injury or become a great trade target. Both options would benefit the Red Wings. Time will tell if he can work his way back to an NHL job or not.

The good news for the Detroit Red Wings is they already have two wins vs. their next foe, the NY Islanders. The bad? That's a quarter of their wins.

The Red Wings’ scoring has fallen off a cliff this season due to reduced firepower down the lineup and a top six that skews small and tends to play on the perimeter. The blue line leans heavily on its top pair, with many question marks behind it. And underpinning at all, there just seems to be a bit less energy on a night-to-night basis.
