With the Olympic trade deadline approaching, the Ottawa Senators announced they've acquired center Matt Cullen from the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday for defenseman Alex Picard and a 2010 second-round draft pick.
The Senators have been red hot since mid-January, winning 13 of their last 14. Their victory last night, paired with a Hurricanes victory over the Sabres, pushed the Senators past Buffalo into first place in the Northeast Division.
