Blue Jackets adding Matt Duchene in trade with Senators

The Columbus Blue Jackets have traded for Ottawa Senators center Matt Duchene, according to multiple reports.

Duchene is set to make his Blue Jackets' debut against his old team, as Columbus plays at Ottawa on Friday night.

The 28-year-old Duchene is on the move again, joining his third team in two seasons after being part of an early-season trade in 2017-18 that sent him to the Senators from the Colorado Avalanche.

He has posted 27 goals and 31 assists in 50 games this season. Duchene missed two weeks in December with a lower-body injury.
