Red Wings move defensemen Nick Leddy, Luke Witkowski to Blues

Detroit — The Red Wings have gotten busy at the trade deadline.

They've dealt defensemen Nick Leddy and Luke Witkowski to the St. Louis Blues, in exchange for forward Oskar Sundqvist, defenseman Jake Walman and a 2023 second-round pick.

The Wings also retained 50% of Leddy's $5.5 million salary cap hit this season.

Leddy, a potential unrestricted free agent, has been a healthy scratch the last two games in anticipation of some kind of move coming.

Leddy, 31, was acquired from the New York Islanders in the offseason for a second-round draft pick.
