NHL notebook: Phaneuf goes to Senators in nine-player deal
By The Sports Xchange
Toronto and Ottawa completed a nine-player swap on Tuesday that sent defenseman Dion Phaneuf from the Maple Leafs to the Senators.
In exchange for Phaneuf, the Maple Leafs will receive forwards Milan Michalek, Colin Greening and Tobias Lindberg, defenseman Jared Cowen and a 2017 second-round draft pick.
The Senators also are adding defenseman Cody Donaghey and forwards Casey Bailey, Matt Frattin and Ryan Rupert.
Phaneuf, 30, had skated in 423 games with the Maple Leafs through parts of seven seasons, registering 196 points (45 goals and 151 assists) and 598 penalty minutes. He has three goals and 24 points assists in 51 games this season.
---Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin won't return until at least next week while continuing to recover from an undisclosed lower-body injury.
Coach Mike Sullivan said Malkin will miss Wednesday night's game against the New York Rangers and weekend road games against the Carolina Hurricanes and the Florida Panthers. Malkin, a four-time All-Star, was injured Feb. 2 in a 6-5 win over the Ottawa Senators and he has missed the Penguins' last three games.
In 49 games this season, Malkin has 23 goals and 26 assists.
---Arizona recalled forward Tyler Gaudet from the Coyotes' AHL Springfield affiliate.
The 22-year-old Gaudet has averaged 12:37 of ice time and registered an assist in five games with the Coyotes this season.
Gaudet signed with the Coyotes as a free agent on Nov. 4, 2013.
---A lower-body injury has sidelined Montreal defenseman Jeff Petry, who was not in the lineup when the Canadiens faced Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.
Petry is tied with P.K. Subban for the lead in defenseman goals with five.
Petry sat out the last half of the third period of the Canadiens' win over Carolina on Sunday, which could be related to the injury in question.
---The Edmonton Oilers assigned defenseman Griffin Reinhart to Bakersfield of the American Hockey League.
The 22-year-old Reinhart has one assist and 16 penalty minutes in 15 games for the Oilers this season. In 17 games with Bakersfield this season, Reinhart has logged one goal, five assists and 12 penalty minutes.
