NHL
The Detroit Red Wings fell behind early, and lost 4-2 to the Calgary Flames last night. Dylan Larkin scored both Detroit goals. Jonathan Bernier made 27 saves.
The Wings entertain the New Jersey Devils tomorrow. Coverage begins at 7:10 on 99.3 The Lift.
The Wings have traded defenseman Mike Green to the Edmonton Oilers. In exchange, they get a draft pick – either a fourth-rounder this year, or a third-rounder next year, depending on the Oilers’ and Green’s performance over the rest of this season. Detroit will cover half of Green’s remaining salary. The Wings also take on the expiring contract of veteran forward forward Kyle Brodziak, who was forced to retire at the beginning of the season because of a degenerative back issue.
The NHL trade deadline is today.

The Detroit Pistons’ late comeback fell short in a 107-104 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers last evening. Christian Wood scored 26 for Detroit.
