Peter Bondra wechselt nach Ottawa !

The Ottawa Senators announced they have acquired five-time all-star Peter Bondra from the Washington Capitals in exchange for Brooks Laich, playing with the Binghamton Senators of the American Hockey League (AHL), and the Club?s second round pick in the 2005 entry draft.

Playing in his 14th NHL season, all with the Washington Capitals since the 1990-91 season, the 36-year old native of Ukraine has 21 goals, including four game-winning goals, 14 assists, 20 penalty minutes in 54 games. His time-on-ice average is 18:43.

Bondra, the Capitals? eighth-round (156th overall) selection in the 1990 entry draft, also has seven multi-point games this season, including a hat-trick in a 5-3 win over Columbus on Nov. 29 and three assists in a 5-4 loss to the New York Islanders on Dec. 21. He missed four games from Dec. 31-Jan. 6 with a groin injury and one game with the flu against New Jersey on Jan. 17.

Earlier this season, Bondra reached the 800-point landmark with a goal on Nov. 24 at Detroit, making him the 28th active player to hit the plateau. He also became the 115th player in NHL history to attain 800 or more points in their career, and the 56th to accumulate at least 800 points with a single team (not necessarily their only team).

Anson Carter traded to Kings

TSN.ca Staff - 3/8/2004

The Washington Capitals have traded right winger Anson Carter to the Los Angeles Kings for centre Jared Aulin.

Carter played 19 games for the Capitals after joining the team via a trade in a deal which sent Jaromir Jagr to the New York Rangers. In his second career stint with Washington, Carter totaled 10 points, five goals and five assists, while registering six penalty minutes and a plus-2 plus-minus rating.

"Were excited to add Anson Carter to our lineup as we approach this critical point of the season," said Kings Senior Vice President/General Manager Dave Taylor. "He brings size, strength, experience and a proven ability to score in the NHL. We hope this acquisition will give our team a real boost for our playoff drive."

A four-time 20-goal scorer in the NHL, Carter also has scored six power-play goals this season, and he has four game-winning goals and one short-handed goal.

Aulin, 21, was drafted by the Colorado Avalanche in the second round, 47th overall, in the 2000 Entry Draft. He's yet to play a game in the NHL this season due to suffering a shoulder injury in rookie training camp and recovering from subsequent surgery. Last season, he played 17 games for the Kings, scoring two goals and two assists for four points.
