Red Wings Sign Tarasov for Backup Role | Detroit Red Wings News

Jul 1, 2026 · 2 min

Detroit Red Wings bolster their goalie depth by signing Daniil Tarasov to a one-year, $2M deal—aiming to challenge John Gibson for the backup role. Tarasov, 27, posted career highs last season with 31 starts, a .905 save percentage, and a 3.05 GAA, despite playing behind Sergei Bobrovsky on a Panthers team plagued by injuries. With Cam Talbot’s shaky performance and Sebastian Cossa traded, the Wings are banking on Tarasov’s potential to thrive alongside a stronger defense—and possibly pave the way for future goalie leadership after this season.
