SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Hockey Club acquired veteran defenseman Olli Maatta in a trade with the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night, returning a third-round pick in the 2025 NHL draft.
The move fills a major need after Sean Durzi and John Marino were sidelined for long periods of time. Finn, 30, is a two-time Stanley Cup champion from his time with Pittsburgh.
Maatta averaged more than 18 minutes per game during his career with the Penguins, Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings and Red Wings. The draft pick that went to Detroit was previously acquired by Utah from the New York Rangers.
Utah was previously known as the Arizona Coyotes before it was sold to new ownership and moved to Salt Lake City.
