The Ottawa Senators have acquired forward Kyle Turris from the Phoenix Coyotes.
The Sens dealt young Swedish defenceman David Rundblad and a second-round pick for Turris Saturday.
The 22-year-old had been involved in a contract dispute with the Coyotes early in the season and there were reports that Turris had asked for a trade.
Turris was selected third overall in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. In six games with the Coyotes this season, Turris has been held off the scores sheet, is minus-2 and averaging under 15 minutes of ice time per game.
