Senators trade Sanford to Jets for 5th-round pick

The Ottawa Senators sent forward Zach Sanford to the Winnipeg Jets for a 2022 fifth-round pick, the team announced Monday.

Sanford registered nine goals and eight assists over 62 games with the Senators this season. Ottawa acquired him in a trade with the St. Louis Blues in September.

The 27-year-old spent the previous four campaigns with the Blues after beginning his career with the Washington Capitals, with whom he spent only his rookie year.

The Capitals drafted him 61st overall in 2013.
