This off-season, the Detroit Red Wings made notable additions to their defense by acquiring Justin Holl and Jeff Petry. However, their performances have taken different trajectories.
Jeff Petry, a two-time Norris Trophy nominee, was a highly regarded defenseman during his time with the Montreal Canadiens.
With Detroit's strong defensive lineup, Petry has found himself on the sidelines, serving as a healthy scratch for the upcoming game. This represents a significant decline for a player who finished 13th in Norris Trophy voting just three years ago.
