Red Wings Make Decision Michal Postava

The Detroit Red Wings have decided to send goaltender Michal Postava back to the Grand Rapids Griffins, despite his impressive performance in their recent shootout victory over the Edmonton Oilers. This move comes as Daniil Tarasov, the team's backup goaltender, is healthy enough to return to the lineup. Postava's return to the minors is a disappointment for some fans, but it brings positive news for Detroit as well.

Tarasov has been outstanding this season, with a 1.40 goals-against average and .940 save percentage in four appearances. Now that Tarasov is back, John Gibson is set to start against Chicago on Thursday, with Tarasov available as his backup. Postava's brief NHL opportunity demonstrated that the Red Wings have another promising option in their organization.
