The Detroit Red Wings recalled goaltender Michal Postava from the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins under emergency conditions. The move came as the team activated J.T. Compher from injured reserve and dealt with goaltending injuries.
The Detroit Red Wings signed Postava, an undrafted free agent, to a two-year entry-level contract. He had led HC Kometa Brno to the 2025 Czech Extraliga championship before making the move to North America.
