2025 Fantasy Outlook
Husso had a 2-6-3 record, 3.48 GAA and .890 save percentage across 13 appearances with Detroit and Anaheim in 2024-25, which made it his third straight campaign with a GAA above 3.00 and a save percentage below .900. Husso showed promise during the 2021-22 regular season with St. Louis, posting a 25-7-6 record, 2.56 GAA and .919 save percentage in 40 outings. He even had a plus-13.5 goals saved above expected that campaign, but he hasn’t had a positive goals saved above expected since. That suggests his former success wasn’t solely due to others, but his more recent floundering also can’t be fully explained away by defensive struggles in front of him. Husso enters 2025-26 competing with Petr Mrazek for the No. 2 spot behind starter Lukas Dostal. Under those circumstances, and with a rebuilding Ducks squad, don’t project this to be Husso’s comeback campaign. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $4.4 million contract with the Ducks in June of 2025.
Gets no help in loss
GAnaheim Ducks
March 8, 2026
Husso allowed three goals on 34 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Blues. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
ANALYSIS
Husso didn't get any help from the Ducks' offense, which had a rare off game. The 31-year-old netminder continues to see limited playing time -- this was just his fifth appearances since the start of January. He's at a 7-6-1 record with a 3.08 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 14 appearances. Lukas Dostal is likely to be back between the pipes for Tuesday's game in Winnipeg to begin the Ducks' road trip.

2018
Husso had an awful season in 2023-24, and he now enters this season at risk of losing an NHL job. He played just 19 games due to injury but didn't play well even when he was healthy. A closer look reveals his slide actually started the season before. Husso allowed three or more goals in 25 of his last 34 appearances in 2022-23 despite winning 26 games. The Wings inked veteran Cam Talbot in free agency, so Husso will compete with last season's surprise No 1, Alex Lyon, to be Talbot's backup. The Wings might carry both Husso and Lyon - they had a three-headed goalie monster last season. Something has to give because there's a logjam in the AHL with Jack Campbell and Sebastian Cossa, so fantasy players will likely want to avoid Husso at the draft.
Husso was a full-time starter for the first time in 2022-23, and the results were mixed -- he went 26-22-7 with a 3.11 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 56 games for the Red Wings. That's not terrible given Detroit's still working through a rebuild, but there will be both an expectation to be better and more consequences for failing to do so after the team signed James Reimer and Alex Lyon in the offseason. Husso is still expected to be the No. 1 in 2023-24, and he'll likely get about two-thirds of the starts, but his numbers reaching a more acceptable level will likely depend on the improvements to the team in front of him. He's a decent No. 2 fantasy goalie.
Husso was expected to serve as the backup to Jordan Binnington in St. Louis in 2021-22, but he played so well in his second NHL season -- 25-7-6 record, 2.56 GAA, .919 save percentage -- that he held onto the team's No. 1 job for a good chunk of the campaign. Set to hit unrestricted free agency this summer, Husso's rights were dealt to Detroit in July, and he ended up signing a three-year, $14.25 million contract with the team. That financial commitment should ensure that Husso opens the year as the starter for the Red Wings, making him a sneaky fantasy option considering all of the quality additions Detroit added to its roster this summer.
Husso has been up and down since arriving stateside in the fall of 2016, spending time in both the AHL and ECHL. He finally got an extended run as Jordan Binnington's backup this past season with the Blues and the results weren't promising. Husso managed just a 3.21 GAA and an .893 save percentage in 17 games, despite a 9-6-1 record. Husso has one year remaining on his contract at just a $750,000 cap hit, so St. Louis will give him one more opportunity as Binnington's understudy before reassessing the situation next summer.
Husso spent the entirety of the 2019-20 season with AHL San Antonio, posting a 16-17-8 record while maintaining a 2.56 GAA and .909 save percentage through 42 appearances. The Blues clearly think the 25-year-old Finn is ready for a full-time NHL gig, as they traded Jake Allen to the Canadiens this offseason, paving the way for Husso to take over as Jordan Binnington's backup in 2020-21. Still, Husso has yet to play in an NHL contest, so St. Louis will almost certainly ride Binnington hard this year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Husso struggle in his limited starts. He won't be worth a roster spot in standard fantasy formats.
Husso is well-regarded as the Blues' top goaltending prospect and the successor to Jake Allen. The 23-year-old excelled with AHL San Antonio last season, posting a .926 save percentage, 2.32 GAA and four shutouts. His impressive play earned him a spot on the AHL All-Rookie Team. Husso's workload was light, however, as he only played in 38 games because San Antonio was a shared affiliate (with Colorado), so the Blues couldn't control who was played. The team is now solely affiliated with St. Louis, which means Husso should get a full season as its starting goalie, making huge strides in his development. Husso is a player to watch in keeper leagues, as another solid minor-league season could vault him to the NHL sooner rather than later.

The Ducks are leaning toward Husso starting Monday's game against the Oilers, according to the Ducks' official site.
ANALYSIS
Lukas Dostal is starting Sunday against the Flames in the first half of a back-to-back set, so Husso is likely to get the second half. The 30-year-old Husso has played only twice in January, winning once and losing once. He has a 6-4-1 record, 3.08 GAA and .888 save percentage on the season.
