Linus Ullmark and a former teammate made things difficult for the Detroit Red Wings. The Wings started well and sustained pressure Monday at Canadian Centre Tire, taking on Atlantic Division neighbor and wild card rival Ottawa Senators.

Petr Mrázek and Craig Smith were at their first Detroit Red Wings practice on Sunday since being acquired Friday at the NHL trade deadline.

Linus Ullmark demonstrated why the Ottawa Senators traded for him last year as the gifted netminder turned away 48 shots on Monday night in a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings.

Petr Mrazek and Craig Smith—took part in their first practice since being traded to the team Friday. Both players were full participants in practice, with Smith slated to fold into the lineup for Monday's game in Ottawa against the Senators.

OTTAWA -- The Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators have formed an exciting rivalry in recent seasons. And with both clubs battling for a position in the race for an Eastern Conference Wild-Card spot, two pivotal points will be up for grabs at Canadian Tire Centre on Monday night.

Petr Mrazek and Craig Smith were traded to the Detroit Red Wings by the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday for Joe Veleno.

Mrazek, who has one additional year on his contract at $4.25 million, heard his name as possible trade bait, but wasn't sure what to expect. While excited about rejoining the Wings, Mrazek does become part of a three-goaltender rotation with Lyon and Cam Talbot.

Sebastian Cossa has made steady progress in each of the past two seasons with the Grand Rapids Griffins and was an AHL All-Star this year. But it seems the Detroit Red Wings don’t believe he’ll be NHL-ready next season.
