Panthers trade Petrovic to Oilers for Wideman, pick

The Florida Panthers have dealt defenseman Alex Petrovic to the Edmonton Oilers for blue-liner Chris Wideman and a 2019 third-round pick, the clubs announced Sunday.

Florida will receive the higher of Edmonton's two third-round selections in next year's draft.

Petrovic, who was born and raised in Edmonton, played parts of seven seasons with the Panthers, who drafted him 36th overall in 2010.

The Oilers acquired Wideman from the Ottawa Senators for a 2020 sixth-rounder on Nov. 22.
