Two assets who may be in play leading up to the trade deadline are padding their value just in time.

Veteran defenseman Mike Green had one of his best games of the season Tuesday and Andreas Athanasiou scored twice as the Detroit Red Wings swept the season series with the Montreal Canadiens with a 4-3 victory at Little Caesars Arena.

The Wings are sellers for a fourth straight trade deadline, and general manager Steve Yzerman has said he plans to be active in trying to acquire draft picks or prospects or young players that can help the rebuild.
