The Detroit Red Wings acquired veteran defenseman Jeff Petry in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.
Montreal received fellow blueliner Gustav Lindstrom and a conditional 2025 fourth-round draft pick in exchange.
The Canadiens will retain 50 percent of Petry's remaining contract. He is due a base salary of $4.5 million in 2023-24 and $3 million in 2024-25, accord
