The Ottawa Senators appear to be making a push for the playoffs as the NHL’s trade deadline approaches. On Thursday, the Senators and Los Angeles Kings agreed on a trade that will send left winger Warren Foegele to Ottawa.
In return, the Senators will give a second-round pick to the Kings. It was the pick previously acquired in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres. Both teams will also swap conditional third-round picks, according to The Athletic’s Julian McKenzie.
Foegele has watched his ice time and production dwindle this season in Los Angeles. After posting a career year in 2024-25, the winger has just seven goals and two assists in 47 games. The season prior, he scored 24 goals to go with 22 assists, both career-highs.
The Senators are six points behind the Boston Bruins for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. The 29-year-old Ontario native will likely slide into the third line for the Senators, adding some veteran depth and scoring to a team in need.
Meanwhile, the Kings are clearly in sell-now mode, looking toward the future. They are 24-22-14 (62 points), sitting sixth in the Pacific Division.
