Hurricanes trade Dzingel to Senators for Galchenyuk, Paquette

The Carolina Hurricanes have traded forward Ryan Dzingel to the Ottawa Senators for forwards Alex Galchenyuk and Cedric Paquette, the Senators announced Saturday.

No salary will be retained in the deal, according to Frank Seravalli of TSN.

Ottawa drafted Dzingel in 2011, and he racked up 126 points in 247 games for the franchise from 2015-19. The 28-year-old counts for $3.375 million against the cap and is set to become a free agent after this season.

Galchenyuk, 27, joined the Senators on a one-year, $1.05-million contract this past offseason. The third overall pick of the 2012 NHL Draft has now been traded four times in his career and joins his sixth NHL team. He ends his brief stint in Canada's capital with one goal in eight games.

The Senators acquired Paquette from the Tampa Bay Lightning in December. The 27-year-old winger is known for his physical presence and has notched 86 points in 386 NHL contests.

All three players will be required to quarantine before they can suit up for their new squads due to travel restrictions between Canada and the U.S.
