The Red Wings had already called up Czech netminder and NHL rookie Michal Postava, who started the third period in Gibson’s place against the Canucks tonight, after backup Daniil Tarasov tweaked an injury at yesterday’s practice skate. They were already banged up at netminder. Postava made his NHL debut.
