Coreau will post up between the pipes in Friday night's road game against the Blue Jackets, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coreau is the primary backup to Jimmy Howard in Motown now that Petr Mrazek is property of the Flyers. He's going to have to avenge for Tuesday's dud of a season debut versus Boston, when he allowed four goals on 16 shots before getting the heave-ho from coach Jeff Blashill. Columbus has about a 50/50 chance of winding up in the postseason at this point, but it's come up with wins in the last three to make this another stiff challenge for the second-year netminder.

Coreau allowed four goals on just 16 shots before being pulled in the second period of Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

This was a disappointing season debut for the young netminder, and after he posted an .887 save percentage and 3.46 GAA through 14 appearances last year, it's probably wise to keep expectations in check moving forward. Coreau still owns long-term potential because of his size and athleticism, but it'll probably take time for him to find his game and post serviceable fantasy numbers at the highest level, especially considering Detroit's current shortcomings.

Coreau will make his season debut Tuesday, facing the Bruins in Boston.

EDGE Analysis

With the Wings now faced with the faintest odds of securing a playoff spot, coach Jeff Blashill has decided that it's go-time for the second-year tender. Coreau posted a 5-4-3 record, 3.46 GAA and .887 save percentage last season. While those numbers weren't helpful in fantasy parlance, it's worth noting that he was rolled out against the Penguins twice and saw the competitive B's three times. The 26-year-old netminder reportedly will be countered by Boston's backup Anton Khudobin on Tuesday, but expect wins to be difficult to come by with Coreau's allied skaters ranking 28th in the league in scoring.

Coreau was sent down to the AHL's Griffins on Monday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

This may seem surprising at first blush considering that Coreau has been serving as Jimmy Howard's backup since Petr Mrazek was traded. However, this is almost assuredly a move solely designed to make the netminder available for the AHL playoffs. He could be recalled as soon as Tuesday.

Coreau was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

This was a seemingly obvious move following the news from Monday night that the Red Wings had traded goalie Petr Mrazek for draft picks in the 2018 and 2019 drafts. Detroit catches Coreau at a good time, as he was just awarded AHL Player of the Week honors following back-to-back shutouts against Manitoba last week. All the same, the 26-year-old figures to maintain the backup duties behind Jimmy Howard for the remainder of the campaign barring an injury or extreme underperformance.

Coreau was sent back to AHL Grand Rapids on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Coreau's return to the minors makes sense given that the Red Wings won't play again until Saturday due to the league-mandated "bye week." However, he could get called up again if Jimmy Howard (undisclosed) doesn't fell well enough to face the Penguins on the road in the next contest. Coreau, who won the Calder Cup with the Griffins last season, has posted a 12-9-2 record, 2.77 GAA and .906 save percentage through 25 appearances in 2017-18.

Coreau was called up by the Red Wings on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Coreau will serve as Petr Mrazek's backup while Jimmy Howard (lower body) sits out Sunday. Coreau will likely revert to AHL Grand Rapids after this matchup, as the Red Wings begin their five-day bye week Monday.

Coreau cleared waivers Monday and will return to AHL Grand Rapids for the start of the season, MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While there was speculation abound that the 25-year-old might be claimed by a team with goalie needs, Coreau will stay with the Red Wings organization for the time being. The Ontario native has shown flashes of great skill during his time between the minor and major leagues, but he's still very much stuck behind Jimmy Howard and Petr Mrazek on the depth chart, giving him minimal fantasy value unless at least one of them sustains a major injury.

Coreau was waived by the Red Wings on Sunday, MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Here we have a talented young goalie, albeit one who was stuck behind Jimmy Howard and Petr Mrazek -- those two will cost the Wings a hefty $9.29 million in salary cap space this season, making it easy to see why Coreau was deemed expendable. However, as suggested in this report, a team like Toronto or Calgary could end up putting in a waiver claim for the man who guided AHL Grand Rapids to the 2017 Calder Cup championship. Otherwise, the 6-foot-6, 200-pound netminder -- who went 5-4-3 with a 3.46 GAA and .887 in his debut campaign with Detroit in 2016-17 -- will head back to the Griffins.

Coreau stopped 11 of 13 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 road loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Petr Mrazek drew the start, but Coreau ended up playing the second half of the game. Last year, the Ontario native picked up his first 14 NHL starts, but Jimmy Howard's knee injury at the time had a lot to do with his seeing even that much action. Now, with the Red Wings over $3 million in the salary cap hole, Coreau is expected to get waived for potential assignment to the minors once the season starts.
