Steve Yzerman swung another trade in his efforts to push the Detroit Red Wings back into the playoff picture.
The Wings acquired Ann Arbor's Jeff Petry on Tuesday from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for little-used defenseman Gustav Lindstrom and a conditional draft pick in 2025.
The Canadiens retained 50% of Petry's remaining contract, which runs 2024-25 with a $2,343,750 salary cap hit. The Wings are only on the hook for 37.5% of Petry's remaining contract.
Petry, 35, shoots right, adding to the depth on the right side next to Moritz Seider and newcomer Justin Holl.
