  "account": "Detroit's head coach Todd McLellan has selected Daniil Tarasov to start in Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. This is a significant opportunity for Tarasov, who has only started one game in the Red Wings' first six matches. Tarasov played two games this season and made one start, stopping all 30 shots he faced in a 30-0-1 record with a 0.66 goals-against average and a .974 save percentage. The Detroit Red Wings are currently 1-3-2, trailing the Philadelphia Flyers, who start the season 0-5-3. Both Tarasov and John Gibson, who has started five of Detroit's six games, are nearing the end of their contracts. Gibson has struggled, with a 3.76 goals-against average and a .863 save percentage, while Tarasov has shown promise. If Tarasov performs well against the Flyers, it could determine his future with the team, as McLellan may consider him for the next game against the San Jose Sharks.",
