The Anaheim Ducks have acquired Erik Christensen from the Atlanta Thrashers in exchange for prospect, Eric O’Dell.
If you remember, Christensen was part of that blockbuster deal at last year’s trade deadline when he, along with Colby Armstrong, Angelo Esposito and a first round draft pick were traded by the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis.
So far, Christensen has 15 goals and 14 assists in 47 games this season.
