In a crucial move, the Detroit Red Wings have called up goaltender Sebastian Cossa due to an emergency situation. The decision comes after Petr Mrazek sustained an injury, leaving Cam Talbot unavailable for the upcoming game against the Colorado Avalanche. Talbot was initially set to start, but Alex Lyon will now take the net for a second night in a row following Mrazek's exit just 1:36 into the previous game against the Utah Hockey Club, which the Wings won 5-1.

This marks Cossa's second appearance this season with the Red Wings. The team's first-round pick from the 2021 NHL Draft had a successful debut on December 9, where he helped secure a win against the Buffalo Sabres in a shootout. This season, he has been impressive with the Grand Rapids Griffins, boasting a solid record with a goals-against average of 2.38 and a save percentage of 0.913.

As the Red Wings await further updates on Mrazek's condition, they prepare for a challenging matchup with the Ottawa Senators at Little Caesars Arena. With Cossa’s potential involvement, fantasy managers will need to keep an eye on his performance and any ripple effects this call-up may have on the Red Wings' goaltending strategy.
