OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators continued to sell off their team on Saturday by reportedly trading left-winger Ryan Dzingel to the Columbus Blue Jackets for forward Anthony Duclair and two second-round draft picks.

It’s the second deal in as many days between the two teams after Ottawa sent forward Matt Duchene to Columbus on Friday.

Dzingel has 22 goals and 22 assists in 57 games this season for the last-place Senators.

Ottawa also sent a seventh-round pick to the Blue Jackets in the deal.

Duclair scored 11 goals and eight assists in 52 games this year for Columbus and now moves to his fifth NHL franchise in five seasons.

The Blue Jackets are currently third in the tight Metropolitan Division and are making a push for the post-season.
