After trading away two forwards in the morning, the Ottawa Senators pivot to being buyers in the afternoon, albeit at a much lower cost. They’ve acquired forward Matthew Peca from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a 7th round pick in 2020 and Aaron Luchuk.
Peca, a 26-year-old centre, has spent the majority of the season playing with the AHL’s Laval Rocket. He has 64 NHL games under his belt from previous seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning and a short stint with the Habs this season, in which he’s scored 17 points.
