Senators ship Pyatt, McKenna to Canucks for Archibald, Nilsson

The Ottawa Senators have traded forward Tom Pyatt, goaltender Mike McKenna and a 2019 sixth-round draft pick to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for forward Darren Archibald and goalie Anders Nilsson, the teams announced Wednesday.

Pyatt, 31, was placed on waivers Tuesday by the Senators after recording just two points across 37 contests this season. McKenna has appeared in 10 games, going 1-4-1 with a .897 save percentage.

Archibald has spent the majority of his season with the AHL's Utica Comets, posting 11 goals and five assists in 23 games. Nilsson has played a backup role in Vancouver, managing a .895 save percentage in 12 appearances.

Travel shouldn't be an issue for the players involved in the deal - the Senators and Canucks square off in Ottawa on Wednesday night.
