Detroit has acquired defenseman Jeff Petry from Montreal in exchange for defenseman Gustav Lindstrom and a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2025.
The Canadiens have also retained 50% of the salary remaining on Petry’s contract — working out to approximately $2.4 million — which runs through 2024-25.
Petry recorded five goals and 31 points in 61 games for the Pittsburgh Penguins last season.
While Petry is past his prime as a top-four blueliner, he still wields a solid defensive upside and projects to be a strong locker room presence for the Red Wings. And it’s a homecoming for Petry, too; a native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Petry went on to spend three seasons suiting up for Michigan State before graduating to the pros.
