The Detroit Red Wings have traded a third-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft in exchange for goaltender Ville Husso from the St. Louis Blues.

Detroit also announced they signed Husso to a 3-year contract through the 2024-25 season.

Husso, 27, made 40 appearances for the Blues last season and had a 25-7-6 record with a 2.56 goals against average and .916 save percentage with two shutouts.

In the playoffs, the 6-foot-2 goaltender has a 2-5 record.

It's expected Husso will split time with Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovich, who started 52 games for Detroit last season.
