Blue Jackets acquire Ryan Dzingel, pick from Senators

The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired left wing Ryan Dzingel and a 2019 seventh round draft pick from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for left wing Anthony Duclair and second round picks in the 2020 and 2021 NHL Drafts, club General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced tonight.
Dzingel, 26, has notched 62 goals and 64 assists for 126 points with 105 penalty minutes, nine power play goals and seven game-winning goals in 247 career games with the Senators. A seventh-round pick, 203rd overall, at the 2011 NHL Draft, he has posted 30 or more points in each of his three full NHL campaigns and has posted back-to-back 20-goal seasons.
"We are very happy to add Ryan Dzingel to our team as he is a very good player and goal scorer in the National Hockey League and a quality person who we believe will be a great fit with our group," said Kekalainen. "He has local ties having played at Ohio State and in talking to him is very excited about coming back to Columbus, being a Blue Jacket and helping us as we move forward."
