Petr Mrazek, Elmer Söderblom out for Detroit Red Wings, Cam Talbot OK to backup
The Detroit Red Wings are still waiting for more clarity on two of their injured players, but at least one already seems to have mended.
Todd McLellan said after Thursday's morning skate at Little Caesars Arena that Cam Talbot would be available to back up Alex Lyon during the evening game against the Ottawa Senators.
Goaltender Petr Mrazek and forward Elmer Söderblom, however, remain in sick bay.

"Don't have an update there," McLellan said. "Should know more Friday."

Mrazek was injured during a collision in his crease less than two minutes into Monday's game at Utah Hockey Club. Talbot tweaked something Monday that worsened overnight, forcing the Wings to change plans to have him start that night at the Colorado Avalanche.
The Wings called up Sebastian Cossa under emergency conditions to have available as backup in Denver, but he'll be reassigned back to Grand Rapids with Talbot cleared.
