Vancouver, British Columbia — This Red Wings team will likely look different by Wednesday afternoon.
But until then, this current roster ended its run on a successful note.
With Steve Ott being traded to Montreal with approximately 4 minutes left in Tuesday’s game (for a 2018 6th-round draft pick), Brendan Smith being traded earlier in the day to the New York Rangers for two draft picks, and Thomas Vanek likely being dealt Wednesday, none of it mattered for the Red Wings on the ice, as they came through with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Vancouver Canucks.
