NHL Trade: Ryan Dzingel to the Ottawa Senators

Dzingel is expected to give Ottawa some extra punch in the lineup. He only has 4 points in 11 games this season but with a little more ice time, the Sens hope he can pick up that pace.
The lefty center had a career year that started in Ottawa back in 2018-19. He scored 26 goals and 56 points in 78 games with 12 of those points coming after his trade to Columbus.
As for the Hurricanes, both Galchenyuk (27 y/o) and Paquette (27 y/o) will add some depth to the roster. In a season where any team can be hit hard by COVID, there’s true value in that as well.
“Cedric is a strong, physical forward who won the Stanley Cup with Tampa Bay last season,” Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell said. “We’re excited to add both of these players to our forward group.”
