The Detroit Red Wings could go after Los Angeles Kings defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov this summer, says The Athletic's Max Bultman.

ST. LOUIS -- Goalie Cam Talbot impressed against the hottest club in the NHL, finishing with 35 saves, but the Detroit Red Wings had to settle for just one point in a 2-1 overtime loss to the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center on Tuesday night.

The Detroit Red Wings surrendered a late goal to lose their 1-0 lead, then lost in overtime vs. the Blues to fall further back in the playoff race.

Gavrikov is in the final year of his second-year, $11.75 million deal with the Kings. As Bultman writes, Gavrikov could be a top-pairing defenseman and help the Red Wings defensively. Gavrikov has recorded 4 goals and 23 assists for 27 points in 73 games.
