CBS DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings have acquired 38-year-old New Jersey Devils defenseman Marek Zidlicky, according to multiple reports. Bill Roose, who writes for the team website, reported the Red Wings traded a pair of picks to secure Zidlicky's services for the remainder of the season.
Zidlicky, who has amassed 23 points in 63 games this season for New Jersey, will be a free agent after this season.
With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, the Red Wings were also reportedly interested in 29-year-old Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Dion Phaneuf, but he has six years remaining on his seven-year, $49 million contract.
