NHL
The Detroit Red Wings visit the Saint Louis Blues tomorrow night. Pregame coverage begins at 7:40 on 99.3 The Lift.
The Red Wings traded forward Tomáš Tatar to the Las Vegas Knights yesterday. In exchange, Detroit gets a first-round pick in this year’s draft, a second-round pick next year, and a third-round pick in 2021.
There had been much speculation that the Wings would trade Mike Green before yesterday’s deadline. General Manager Ken Holland said several teams were interested, but were put off by the neck injury Green suffered in the game against Tampa Bay on February 15th. Green has not played since.
