MONTREAL — Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman began Day 2 of the 2022 NHL draft by addressing an immediate need for goaltending, acquiring St. Louis Blues' Ville Husso for a third-round pick.
The Red Wings then signed Husso for three years, $14.25 million, or a $4.75 million annual salary cap hit.
The Wings needed someone to fill out the tandem with Alex Nedeljkovic, who was acquired last offseason.
Husso, 27, has a 2.74 goals-against average and .912 save percentage in 57 career NHL games.
