What an interesting day! As I wrote my preview last night I suspected that one of Ottawa’s pending UFAs that they had scratched last night could be traded today. I had no idea that Columbus would be the recipient and that it would be Matt Duchene.
Even more wild is the fact that Duchene will waste no time getting acquainted, as he will suit up tonight in the union blue and face his recent teammates in their barn.
Prior to the trade, Torts confirmed that Sergei Bobrovsky would start in goal.
