Detroit Red Wings call up goaltender Sebastian Cossa under emergency conditions
The team listed the call-up as under emergency conditions, though both Alex Lyon and Cam Talbot are also on the team. A team can only designate a call-up as an emergency if it does not have the required personnel available at a certain spot, such as the two goaltenders needed to dress for a game. The Wings did not hold a morning skate Tuesday at Ball Arena, ahead of their evening game against the Colorado Avalanche.
Lyon was in net for Monday's 5-1 victory at Utah Hockey Club, taking over after Mrazek suffered an undisclosed injury 1:36 into the game. Immediately following that game, coach Todd McLellan indicated Talbot would start against the Avalanche.

This is Cossa's second stint of the season with the Wings. The No. 15 selection from the 2021 draft won his NHL debut on Dec. 9 against the Buffalo Sabres, including turning away two of three shootout attempts.
Cossa, 22, has posted a 19-11-5 record with a 2.38 goals-against average, a 0.913 save percentage and one shutout in 35 appearances with the Griffins during the 2024-25 season. Cossa spent the entire 2023-24 campaign with the Griffins, logging a 22-9-9 record with a 2.41 goals-against average, a 0.913 save percentage and two shutouts in 40 regular-season appearances.

COLUMN: J.J. Quinerly is quickly proving she deserved a better WNBA Draft grade
MORGANTOWN — J.J. Quinerly is quickly becoming the latest example of just how off key the best professional basketball talent evaluators can be. You likely remember Quinerly as the ultra-speedy and tenacious defender during her four seasons with the WVU women's basketball team, where she became the face of the program, the definition of loyalty and one of the program's all-time top players. To us here in the Mountain State, Quinerly could do no wrong. To those evaluators in the WNBA who hold all the cards in how a college athlete's career begins in the pros, she was simply a long shot worth taking. First, we hit you with the news: Since moving into the Dallas Wings' starting lineup on June 28, Quinerly is averaging 16.5 points and 5.3 assists per game. She's scored at least 15 points in all four games — the Wings are 2-2 in that time — while shooting 47% from the field and 44% from 3-point range. Not bad for a player selected in the third round of a three-round draft, the No. 27 overall pick out of 38 selections overall. The absolute steal of the 2025 WNBA Draft? That's sort of the buzz out there right now around Quinerly. The unfortunate part of the story is it took mayhem in order for Quinerly to get her opportunity. Injuries hit and the Wings lost a couple of players to overseas commitments. It wasn't until the roster was down to just eight available players that Quinerly got the starting nod. For someone like Quinerly, who accomplished all that she did at WVU, that is truly a crying shame. Which is where we get back to evaluating talent at the professional basketball level. The only sport that is worse in evaluating talent than basketball is baseball, but that sport has the odds and numbers on their side — more positions, more players to evaluate and a longer draft — in order to get away with missing on future stars. Basketball scouts, coaches and general managers do not have those same luxuries, and so when an unexpected player begins to accomplish unpredictable things, it gets blown up way more than it ever does in baseball. Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets has won MVP of the NBA three times. Here are the only other players in NBA history who have won at least three MVPs (you may have heard of some of them): Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, LeBron James, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Moses Malone. That is the elite of elite in basketball history, yet when it came time for Jokic to be drafted in 2014, ESPN was in commercial break showing a Taco Bell spot when his name was called. Jokic was the 41st pick out of 60 that year. Let's not get ahead of ourselves with where Quinerly's pro career is headed, and we're certainly not saying she's the next Jokic. Still, how could so many 'expert' basketball geniuses not be able to properly project Quinerly's potential as anything more than someone to take a stab at in the third round of the draft? The answer is simply to say there are only tools to evaluate the outside of athletes. They've got stopwatches to gauge speed and measuring tapes for height. They have tests to see how high they can jump and how far they can throw a ball. What they couldn't see about Quinerly was her desire, her heart, her passion. It's the same story with some of the all-time greats in sports. Tom Brady was the 199th overall pick of the 2000 NFL Draft. Albert Pujols saw 401 guys picked in the 1999 MLB draft before he was. And, maybe, someday we'll speak of Quinerly as another one of those overlooked athletes in the draft and wonder how in the heck it happened. For now, Quinerly is likely focused on her next game, which just happens to be on national TV (ABC) at 1 p.m. Sunday against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.

Jacob Bernard-Docker 'Pumped' to Join Red Wings
Among the handful of new names that fans of the Detroit Red Wings could be seeing a lot of in the coming season is defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker, who was signed to a one-year contract by GM Steve Yzerman. Bernard-Docker played for both the Ottawa Senators and Buffalo Sabres last season, and already has 144 games of NHL experience under his belt. And he's already looking forward to adding to his total with the Red Wings. Advertisement "There's a lot of potential there, and it's a team on the right trajectory," he said. "I'm super excited to go in there and show what I got and hopefully be a contributor." Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. Bernard-Docker drew parallels between the young, rising core of players he suited up alongside with in Ottawa and Buffalo as part of the reason behind his excitement. "In a way it's a similar group to where I was in Ottawa, with a real good young core, Buffalo had a real good core," he said. "They're (Detroit) on that edge of breaking out. There's a lot of real good players on the team. Advertisement "I'm just pretty pumped about the fit there." Bernard-Docker will be competing for a roster spot in Training Camp with Justin Holl and Albert Johansson, the latter of which emerged as a reliable option by playing in 61 games in his rookie season. An area of play for the Red Wings that he can help improve is the penalty killing, which was in danger of being the lowest ranked in NHL history at one point in late 2024 and ultimately finished 32nd overall at just 70.1 percent. "That's one area where I was really looking to develop and show kind of how I played in the minors and, maybe I haven't showed as much as I'd like to in the NHL yet," Bernard-Docker said. "It's an area that I really think is a strong part of my game. I'm willing to block shots and I'm pretty good on my stick, areas that I'd really like to show." Advertisement Selected by the Senators in the 2018 NHL Draft with the 26th overall pick, Bernard-Docker enjoyed a breakout season in 2023-24, appearing in 72 games and scoring four goals with 10 assists. But a high-ankle sprain earlier this year in January derailed his season, causing him to miss several weeks. He was then traded to the Sabres along with Josh Norris in the deal that brought Dylan Cozens to the Senators on March 7. In the 15 games he played in a Buffalo uniform, he scored a goal while adding three assists. Never miss a story by adding us to your Google News favorites!

The Best and Worst Detroit Red Wings Jerseys
Looking back at the best and worst Red Wings jerseys. As summer continues, focus shifts to the Detroit Red Wings' public relations team and other parts of the organization as they begin preparing ways to keep fans engaged and excited for the upcoming season. This period often marks the start of behind-the-scenes planning, with one of the most anticipated developments being the possible introduction of a Centennial jersey. Advertisement It is widely expected that the team will wear a commemorative patch to celebrate its 100th anniversary. However, there is also growing speculation about the return of a third jersey that could feature a classic version of the Winged Wheel logo. With this in mind, it is a fitting time to revisit some of the most iconic and controversial jerseys in the Red Wings' 100-year history. Best: Classic Home and Away (2007-Present) Image The winged wheel is widely recognized as one of the best jerseys in all of sports with the classic automotive feel that comes with the City of Detroit and it's nickname the Motor City. The minor tweaks over the decades have kept the jersey feeling new but also classic at the same time. Simplicity can work and not work in some cases and these jerseys hit it out of the park with the striping on the arms as well as clean numbers and nameplates. Advertisement Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. Worst: Reverse Retro (2021) Image The mark of simplicity hits with the classic home and away sweaters but it's because of the red and white color scheme. This sweater misses the mark as the grey accents instead of the red make it hard to see when playing on the ice, making it appear like a practice jersey. The reintroduction of Red into the pants just make this sweater a complete mess and was a rare miss for a franchise that normally hits home runs. Advertisement Best: Winter Classic (2014) Image A total home run by the Red Wings franchise as they introduce one of the best jerseys in their franchises history. This jersey set the standard for how epic and memorable teams can make their outdoor game jerseys could be as this one became a staple of the hockey community, becoming a regular sight at Red Wings games and a popular favorite in video games like EA Sports' NHL series. Worst: Stadium Series (2025) Image The most recent addition to Detroit's regular jersey rotation is one that some would already like to forget. The script Detroit wording across the front is a new bold take that hits in some respects as a standalone jersey but the wings on the helmets make fans have to look twice to make sure they are seeing the right thing. Advertisement The stripe down the middle making this uniform appear like a football jersey makes it a big swing and a miss as the entire look appears disorganized and disjointed. It also doesn't help the player socks aren't very creative with very little details. Never miss a story by adding us to your Google News favorites.
