The Ottawa Senators make their third trade in as many days, as the team acquires forward Jan Jenik from the Utah Hockey Club in exchange for forward Egor Sokolov.
Jenik also suited up for Team Czech Republic in both the 2019 and 2020 World Junior Championships, the latter year wearing an ‘A’ on his jersey as part of the team’s leadership group. In six combined games between the two tournaments, Jenik scored two goals and three assists, totalling five points.
Headed the other way is forward Egor Sokolov. The 24-year-old was drafted 61st overall by the Senators in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and skated in 13 games with Ottawa. In that span, he recorded one goal and one assist. The Yekaterinburg, Russia native played in 240 career games with Ottawa’s AHL affiliate the Belleville Senators. Sokolov scored 76 goals and added 104 assists to total 180 points in that span.
Of the trade, Senators’ President of Hockey Operations and General Manager said, “Jan is a versatile and skilled forward capable of playing at both centre and on the wing, he’s tenacious and demonstrates good offensive upside.”
