ENGELHARDT FOR LEMIEUX

The Montreal Canadiens acquired winger Brett Engelhardt from the Detroit Red Wings for forward Francis Lemieux.

What does it give the Montreal Canadiens
Engelhardt is a physical winger, something the Habs need. Therefore, he could get a call-up to Montreal at some point this season.

What does it give the Detroit Red Wings
Lemieux will probably remain in the AHL for the foreseeable future, but he adds a little forward depth to the Red Wings heading down the stretch.
