The Montreal Canadiens traded defenseman Mike Reilly to the Ottawa Senators for a 2021 fifth-round pick and forward Andrew Sturtz, the team announced Thursday.
Reilly has been with the Canadiens since 2018 when he was acquired from the Minnesota Wild. He's appeared in 14 games this season, recording four assists.
The 26-year-old is in the first season of a two-year, $3-million contract he signed with Montreal this summer. The Canadiens are not retaining any of his salary, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
Sturtz, 25, was undrafted and has yet to appear in an NHL game. He's spent the last three seasons with the AHL's Belleville Senators, recording four goals and 11 points in 35 games.
Montreal also acquired defenseman Marco Scandella from the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday in exchange for a 2020 fourth-round pick.
