{allcanada} BLACKHAWKS ACQUIRE CAMPOLI FROM SENATORS

The Chicago Blackhawks have acquired defeceman Chris Campoli and a conditional seventh round pick in 2011 from the Ottawa Senators for forward Ryan Potulny and conditional second round pick in 2011.

The trade is pending on a call to the NHL's head office.

The 26-year-old Campoli is playing out his sixth season in the NHL. Drafted by the New York Islanders in the seventh round (227th overall) in 2004, the Islanders traded Campoli, along with Mike Comrie, to the Senators for Dean McAmmond and a first-round draft pick in 2009.

Through 58 games this season, the North York, Ont., native has three goals and 11 assists with a minus-3 rating.

Potulny, 26, is a third round draft pick (87th overall) of the Philadelphia Flyers in 2003. He was traded to the Edmonton Oilers for Danny Syvret in 2008, and then signed as an unrestricted free agent by the Blackhawks.
