The Detroit Red Wings traded defenseman Nick Leddy ahead of Monday afternoon's NHL trade deadline, as expected.
Leddy goes to the St. Louis Blues for a 2023 second-round pick, forward Oskar Sundqvist and Jake Walman, the Wings announced an hour before the deadline. Leddy, 31, was scratched the past two Wings games as protection against injury, signaling general manager Steve Yzerman was going to trade the pending unrestricted free agent.
Sundqvist, who turns 28 on Wednesday, is a 6-foot-3 center who began his NHL career with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
