DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings are sellers as Monday's trade deadline approaches, for the second year in a row and just the second time in 28 years.
One player was shipped out Monday - goaltender Petr Mrazek to Philadelphia. More could follow. At minimum, defenseman Mike Green seems destined to be dealt.
The Red Wings slid further out of a playoff picture that was bleak to begin with, following Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Nashville Predators at Little Caesars Arena.
