UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman has made another low-key move, one that may signal more change by Monday’s NHL trade deadline.
The Wings claimed defenseman Cody Goloubef off waivers Friday, and the expectation is he will join the team in Detroit in the coming days.

Goloubef fits the trend set by Yzerman since being appointed GM in April: Former high-round pick (37th overall, 2008, Columbus Blue Jackets), has experience at NHL level (158 games) and on a no-risk contract (unrestricted at the end of the season).
