Ville Husso has been traded from the Detroit Red Wings to the Anaheim Ducks, marking a significant shift for the goaltender as he approaches the end of his contract. This move allows the Red Wings to shed Husso's cap hit for the remainder of the season, a strategic decision that could provide them with increased flexibility in future transactions.

In his debut with the Ducks' AHL affiliate, the San Diego Gulls, Husso showcased remarkable performance, stopping all 34 shots faced in a 4-0 victory over the Calgary Wranglers. His shutout not only earned him the First Star of the game honors but also made him the first Gulls goalie to record a shutout in his debut. This achievement underlines Husso's strong track record in the AHL, as he now holds a 9-4-0 record, a 2.49 GAA, and a .920 save percentage, including three shutouts in just 14 games.
