San Jose Sharks and Ottawa Senators pull off a minor trade

The Ottawa Senators have acquired forward Dylan Gambrell from the San Jose Sharks. In return, San Jose gets back its original 2022 seventh-round draft pick that the Senators had acquired on Jan. 27, 2021, in exchange for defenceman Christian Jaros.

Gambrell has skated in three contests this season with San Jose's American Hockey League affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda, and has registered one point (one assist) and four penalty minutes. He will be recalled to Ottawa as part of the transaction.

"Dylan's a player whose progress we've monitored since his collegiate career at the University of Denver," said Senators general manager Pierre Dorion. "He's a good-skating centre, a strong checker and a responsible penalty killer. We have a void at centre on account of some recent injuries and Dylan will help us with that need."

Gambrell, 25, was selected by the Sharks with the team's second-round draft pick (60th overall) in the 2016 NHL Draft. Over 110 career NHL games with San Jose, he has posted 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists) and 32 penalty minutes. He has also tallied one point (one goal) and two penalty minutes in two career NHL post-season contests in addition to 58 points (23 goals, 35 assists) and 37 penalty minutes over 69 career AHL games with the Barracuda.
