Anaheim Ducks Acquire Goalie Ville Husso from Detroit Red Wings

The Ducks add the veteran netminder in a trade for future considerations as injuries impact their goaltending depth.

  • Ville Husso, 30, was traded from the Detroit Red Wings to the Anaheim Ducks on Monday for future considerations.
  • Husso will initially join the Ducks' AHL affiliate in San Diego as Anaheim deals with injuries to starting goalie John Gibson and others.
  • Husso is in the final year of a three-year, $14.25 million contract and will become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
  • The trade frees up $3.6 million in salary cap space for the Red Wings, who had previously assigned Husso to their AHL affiliate in Grand Rapids.
  • Husso has a career NHL record of 70-45-18 with a 3.05 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage over five seasons with the Blues and Red Wings.
