Utah Hockey Club completes a trade with the Ottawa Senators
The Utah Hockey Club and Ottawa Senators have come together on Wednesday afternoon to complete a trade.
In a post on X, the Ottawa Senators announced that they've traded former second-round pick Egor Sokolov to the Utah Hockey Club in exchange for forward Jan Jenik.
"News Release: The #Sens have acquired forward Jan Jenik in a trade with @utahhockeyclub in exchange for forward Egor Sokolov:"
"🚨 TRADE 🚨
We have received Egor Sokolov from Ottawa!
#UtahHC"
Ottawa Senators General Manager Steve Staios commented on the trade this afternoon, saying that believe Jenik has offensive upside and is versitile, being able to play center or on the wing.
"Jan is a versatile and skilled forward," said Staios. "Capable of playing at both centre and on the wing, he's tenacious and demonstrates good offensive upside."
Jenik, 23, spent the majority of the season in the AHL with the Tucson Roadrunners where he put up 36 points (16 goals, 20 assists), 48 penalty minutes and was a plus-four. He also appeared in five games with the now-dissolved Arizona Coyotes, recording one assist.
Sokolov, 24, was a second-round pick of the Ottawa Senators in 2020. This past season, he appeared in 71 AHL games for Belleville where he registered 46 points (21 goals, 25 assists), 69 penalty minutes and was a minus-seven. In seven playoff games, he added four points.
