OTTAWA– The Ottawa Senators acquired defenceman Jordan Spence from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for the club’s third-round selection (67th overall) in the 2025 NHL Draft and Ottawa’s sixth-round selection (originally acquired from Colorado) in the 2026 NHL Draft.

The 24-year-old Australian-born defenceman scored four goals and 28 points in 79 games with the Kings last season.

The Washington Capitals signed a young forward they got from the back-to-back Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, a young defenseman is getting a fresh start and a couple of Canadian teams re-signed veteran players on Saturday.
