Sebastian Cossa, the top goaltending prospect in the organization, has been called up by the Detroit Red Wings.
The move was made in the morning of Wednesday, March 4, two days after the team’s starting goaltender, John Gibson, left Monday’s game at the Nashville Predators with an upper-body injury after getting hit in the shoulder area with a puck.
Gibson is feeling “much better” and took the ice Wednesday morning, coach Todd McLellan said. But he is out for Wednesday’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Detroit). Cam Talbot finished the Nashville game and is the Wings’ top backup.
Cossa has appeared in one NHL game, coming in in relief on Dec. 9, 2024, in a game at the Buffalo Sabres, which he won in a shootout.
Selected at No. 15 in 2021 draft, Cossa has compiled a 68-29-17 record with a 2.38 goals-against average, a 0.914 save percentage and eight shutouts in 115 AHL games with the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Cossa, 23, this season has posted a 24-4-3 record with a 1.99 goals-against average, a 0.927 save percentage and five shutouts in 31 appearances with the Griffins. The 6-foot-7, 220-pound netminder was named the AHL Goaltender of the Month for both November and December 2025, representing the Griffins at the 2026 AHL All-Star Classic.
