Oilers, Canadiens make Hawkey trade

The Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens pulled off a solid Hawkey trade Saturday.

The Oilers acquired netminder Hayden Hawkey from the Canadiens in exchange for a fifth-round pick in next year's draft, the teams announced.

The 23-year-old has spent the last three seasons at Providence College, going 24-12-3 with a .919 save rate across 40 games this past season.

The Canadiens originally selected Hawkey in the sixth round of the 2014 draft.
