The Canadiens have acquired Aaron Luchuk and a 2020 seventh-round pick from the Senators for Matthew Peca.

He was originally sent to Toronto from Ottawa in the Nikita Zaitsev/Cody Ceci in July, before the Maple Leafs flipped him back to Ottawa last week for Max Veronneau. Luchuk has played almost exclusively with Newfoundland in the ECHL this season, racking up 50 points in 45 games.
