patch.comHere are the latest updates I can share based on recent reporting:
-
Jeff Petry has been in the news for a medical update early in 2025, with reports that he underwent surgery and was out for about 6-8 weeks. If you’re tracking his timeline, that surgery was said to have occurred in early February 2025. This would have impacted his availability for Detroit during that stretch.

-
In February 2025, there was reporting that Petry was dealing with an injury and that Detroit activated Patrick Kane while Petry’s status was still being managed, indicating ongoing roster implications for the Red Wings at that time.[1]
-
Later in the 2024-2025 timeframe, Petry surfaced in trade discussions and contract context around teams like the Florida Panthers, including news about a one-year deal with the Panthers and surrounding roster movement. This reflects Petry’s status as a veteran defenseman drawing interest and shifting teams around that period.[2]
