The Colorado Avalanche have acquired center Vladislav Namestnikov from the Ottawa Senators for a fourth-round draft pick in 2021, according to multiple reports.
Namestnikov, 27, has 13 goals and 12 assists in 56 games this season. He started 2019-20 with two games for the New York Rangers before they traded him to the Senators.
Ottawa sits in seventh place in the Atlantic Division and is almost assured of missing the playoffs for the third straight year. The Senators have already traded defenseman Dylan DeMelo this month.
For his career, Namestnikov has 79 goals and 104 assists in 416 games. His best season came in 2017-18, when he had 48 points in a campaign where he was traded from the Tampa Bay Lightning to the Senators at the deadline.
He will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and is carrying a $4 million cap hit in 2019-20.
