Sens trade Dzingel to Blue Jackets for Duclair, picks

The Ottawa Senators and Columbus Blue Jackets have struck another deal.

Ottawa has traded forward Ryan Dzingel and a seventh-round pick to Columbus for Anthony Duclair and two second-rounders, the teams announced Saturday.

The picks headed Ottawa's way are for 2020 and 2021, while Columbus' pick is for this year.

It's the second trade between the two clubs in as many days, with the Senators sending center Matt Duchene to the Blue Jackets on Friday for a first-round pick and a pair of prospects.

Dzingel had been held out of the Senators' last two games as a healthy scratch. As an unrestricted free agent this summer, the 26-year-old was one of the top names on the rental market, and his move to Columbus does not include a contract extension, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Dzingel is in the midst of a career season and has already set a new personal best with 44 points in 57 games. His cap hit for the rest of the year stands at $1.8 million, per Cap Friendly.

The Blue Jackets jumped into third spot in the Metropolitan Division with back-to-back wins over the weekend to put them at 73 points.
