Detroit Red Wings trade Nick Jensen to Capitals for pick, defenseman

The Detroit Red Wings added another draft pick to their rebuilding efforts Friday.

The team announced it has dealt Nick Jensen to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a second-round pick in 2020 and defenseman Madison Bowey.

The Wings also sent Buffalo's fifth-round pick in 2019 to Washington, leaving the Wings with 10 picks in the 2019 draft.

Jensen is a pending unrestricted free agent, and the Wings have interest in bringing him back. A second-round pick, though, is a nice return for Jensen, and gives the Wings eight picks in 2020.
