Red Wings trade goalie Husso to Ducks for future considerations

The Detroit Red Wings have traded goaltender Ville Husso to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for future considerations, freeing up $3.6 million in salary cap space. Husso, who has spent much of this season in the AHL with Grand Rapids, recorded a disappointing 1-5-2 record in the NHL this season with Detroit. The 30-year-old netminder is completing the final year of his contract and has been a part of the Red Wings' roster since 2022, where he amassed a 36-32-11 record over three seasons. The Ducks view Husso as a depth addition to their goaltending lineup, providing a veteran presence alongside John Gibson and Lukas Dostal. His experience will be beneficial as the Ducks address potential injury concerns within their goalie ranks. The trade highlights the Red Wings' strategy to enhance their roster while managing financial flexibility ahead of the NHL playoffs.
