Senators claim Morrison
The Ottawa Senators could not get the goalie insurance they wanted through the trade market, but the club was able to find some solace Thursday through the waiver wire.
Mike Morrison
Ottawa claimed Edmonton goalie Mike Morrison, who was made available when Edmonton made one of two high-profile deals to get a goaltender in the days leading up to Thursday's trade deadline.
Edmonton acquired Minnesota's Dwayne Roloson for Minnesota for a first-round pick and a conditional third-round pick that comes into play if the 36-year-old Roloson, an unrestricted free agent this summer, re-signs with the Oilers.
Montreal and Colorado were involved in the other goaltender trade Tuesday as the team's swapped No. 1 goalies. Montreal landed David Aebischer while the Avs took on injured goalie Jose Theodore, who is expected to be back from a heel injury in time for the final week of regular-season play.

Hurricanes acquire Mark Recchi
The Carolina Hurricanes have acquired veteran forward Mark Recchi from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
A source confirmed the deal to The Canadian Press. The 38-year-old Recchi is earning $2.28 million US this season and is under contract to earn the same next year. Recchi has 1,258 points in 1,236 NHL games and won a Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh in 1991.
The Hurricanes have an NHL-best 91 points and have been looking for veteran depth heading to the playoffs.
Carolina also added veteran forward Doug Weight in a trade with St. Louis on Jan. 30.

Avs and Habs Swap Goalies
Colorado and Montreal swapped goalies Wednesday with Jose Theodore heading to the Avalanche in exchange for David Aebischer.
The trade marks the second time a high-profile goaltender left Montreal for Denver, following Patrick Roy's historic move to the mile-high city during the 1995-96 season.
Theodore, 29, has a 3.46 goals-against average and an .881 save percentage this season. Aebischer, 28, has a 2.98 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage.
Theodore was 17-15-5 for Montreal this season after winning a career-best 33 games in 2003-04.
Aebischer, who had a miserable month of December before turning his - and Colorado's - season around in January, is 25-14-2 this season.

Flyers add Gauthier to defense
The Philadelphia Flyers acquired veteran defenseman Denis Gauthier Jr. Thursday from the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for minor-league forward Josh Gratton and two second-round picks in the 2006 Entry Draft.
Gauthier, 29, is a Montreal native who has 15 goals and 55 assists for 70 points in 429 NHL games over eight NHL seasons with Calgary and Phoenix. He also has 576 penalty minutes and is plus-11 in his career. Gauthier had two goals and 10 assists in 45 games with Phoenix this season and was minus-4 with 61 penalty minutes. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound defenseman was second on the Coyotes with 117 hits. He missed 14 games after Oct. 18 with a broken finger and three games to a shoulder injury in early February.
Gauthier was Calgary's first pick, 20th overall, in the 1996 Entry Draft after an All-Star junior career with Drummondville in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. He suffered a serious hip injury during the 1999-00 season.

Devils revamp defense
The New Jersey Devils continued to upgrade their defense Thursday by trading for New York Islanders defenseman Brad Lukowich. The Devils earlier acquired defenseman Ken Klee from Toronto Wednesday for Albany River Rats forward Aleksander Suglobov.
The Devils sent their third-round pick in the 2006 Entry Draft to the Islanders in the Lukowich deal.
One reason for the Devils' run on defensemen is the uncertainty of defenseman Richard Matvichuk, who recently suffered a back injury.
