The Detroit Red Wings freed up $3.6 million in salary cap space by trading goalie Ville Husso to the Anaheim Ducks.

The Anaheim Ducks acquired veteran goaltender Ville Husso from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for future considerations on Monday. Adding a seasoned goaltender became necessary because Anaheim starter John Gibson was sidelined after suffering an injury in Saturday’s 3-2 win over the Bruins.

Husso addresses an immediate need for the team’s short-handed AHL affiliate in San Diego, but he could also join the NHL roster if longtime Ducks goalie John Gibson is traded away.
