Coreau made 24 saves on 28 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Canadiens on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

In Coreau's last start he also allowed four goals in a loss to the Habs, so at least the 26-year-old is consistent. He's also been awful. In six games he has failed to pick up a single win and he has a 4.35 GAA and .859 save percentage.

Coreau (illness) is slated to start at home against the Canadiens on Thursday, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has been awful in limited action, with Coreau having allowed no fewer than three goals in any of his five starts. His last appearance actually took place against this Habs team on March 26 when they tagged him for four goals on 31 shots. Coreau is the clear No. 2 for the Red Wings as the understudy to Jimmy Howard, but this team ranks near the bottom of the league both offensively and defensively. It'll be important to avoid Coreau on this 12-game slate unless you're desperate for a stopgap option.

Coreau is battling the flu and won't get the start as originally intended Tuesday against the Blue Jackets, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports, adding that Tom McCollum will serve as the backup to Jimmy Howard in the upcoming contest.

EDGE Analysis

This might prove to have been Coreau's last opportunity to show the Red Wings that he deserves to be retained beyond the 2017-18 campaign. He'll be an unrestricted free agent in the summer and is in danger of going winless with a 4.40 GAA and an .859 save percentage over five games at the highest level this campaign.

Coreau allowed four goals on 31 shots during Monday's 4-2 loss to Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old netminder has now allowed three goals or more in each of his five appearances and sports an 0-4-0 record, .859 save percentage and 4.41 GAA for the campaign. As a result, it's difficult to recommend relying on Coreau at this stage of the fantasy season.

Coreau will get the start in Monday's meeting with Montreal, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coreau has disappointed since getting called up in early March, as he is winless in four contests and registered a .856 save percentage. The 26-year-old has performed significantly better in the minors this year, where he is 20-10-4 with a 2.47 GAA. Now that Petr Mrazek is in Philadelphia, Coreau figures to be the Red Wings' backup behind Jimmy Howard next season.

Coreau allowed five goals on 31 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Avalanche on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was able to win some games last season, which was his first in the NHL, despite a .887 save percentage. He hasn't been so lucky this season with even worse statistics. In four starts, Coreau owns a .856 save percentage and 4.48 GAA this season. Not surprisingly, he hasn't won any of those games. That makes him a streaming option for only the most desperate owners.

Coreau will be the road starter against the Avalanche on Sunday, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coreau is still searching for his first NHL win, yielding a .863 save percentage and 4.25 GAA in three games this season. The Red Wings have had the 26-year-old backstop on the roster since Petr Mrazek was traded to Philly, but Coreau played respectably in the AHL before that, posting a 20-10-4 record with a .916 save percentage. It'll be tough to mark that win column Sunday, since Colorado is hot right now, averaging four goals per game over its last five outings.

Coreau gave up three goals on 21 shots in Thursday's loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Coreau is winless in three appearances this season, posting a .863 save percentage in the process. The 26-year-old has moved into the backup role with Petr Mrazek shipped to Philadelphia, but he's failed to show anything that makes him worthy of a fantasy pick-up. The Red Wings have lost eight straight games, making Coreau one to avoid right now.

Coreau will defend the cage against the Kings in Los Angeles on Thursday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coreau is looking for traction after coming up winless in his first two starts this season. He was blasted by the Bruins in his debut March 6, and ended up with a so-so outing against the Blue Jackets in the subsequent performance three days later, yielding three goals on 36 shots. He's now being tasked with thwarting a Kings squad that ranks 16th in scoring (2.87 goals per game) and 17th on the power play at 20.2 percent.

Coreau allowed three goals on 36 shots in Friday night's 3-2 road loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

This was a nice bounce-back performance from Coreau after he was lit up for four goals on 16 shots from the Bruins in his season debut Tuesday. The 26-year-old denied forwards Artemi Panarin and Cam Atkinson five times apiece, but he struggled to contain defenseman Seth Jones, who lit the lamp twice to the delight of the home crowd. With the Wings' playoff hopes completely diminished, expect to see a lot more from Coreau down the stretch.
