The Calgary Flames have reportedly acquired forward Curtis Lazar from the Ottawa Senators.
The #Sens got a second and Jyrki Jokipakka for Curtis Lazar.

Defenseman Michael Kostka will also go to Calgary.
Lazar has been mentioned in trade talks for some time now, based mostly on the fact he's mustered one assist in 33 games this season.
The 22-year-old was fighting a bout of mononucleosis during training camp, and never seemed to find his stride under new head coach Guy Boucher, who gave Lazar only 8:49 ice time on average.
He was selected 17th overall by the Senators in 2013, and the Flames seem to believe this season is a bump on the road, albeit a large one.
Jokipakka, by the way, has recorded three goals and 25 assists in 147 career games at the NHL level after being drafted with the 195th pick in 2011.
