Maple Leafs acquire Galchenyuk from Hurricanes

The Toronto Maple Leafs have landed forward Alex Galchenyuk from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for prospect Egor Korshkov and defenseman David Warsofsky, the team announced Monday.

This marks the second time Galchenyuk has been traded in three days, as he was shipped from the Ottawa Senators to the Hurricanes on Saturday along with Cedric Paquette for Ryan Dzingel.

Galchenyuk won't need to quarantine before joining the Leafs because he never left Canada, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

The 2012 third overall pick recorded one goal in eight games with the Senators this year while averaging 9:30 of ice time per contest. He signed a one-year, $1.1-million contract with Ottawa during the offseason.
