The Ottawa Senators have acquired Cory Conacher and a fourth round pick from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Ben Bishop.

Conacher has nine goals and 24 points in 35 games this season. Getting a solid, young, top-six forward like Conacher is a big win for Ottawa in this situation. Bishop has been great, but with Craig Anderson close to returning from an ankle injury and Robin Lehner excelling this season, Bishop was expendable.

Cory Conacher netted his first goal in 13 games but Tampa Bay fell Wednesday night 4-2 to the Leafs.

The winger also had two penalty minutes in the game. Conacher's production has certainly slowed since his early-season tear, with only four points in March. Still, though, the rookie has greatly exceeded expectations with eight goals and 22 points on the year. Radko Gudas notched the other goal.

Cory Conacher is on a five-game point streak.

Conacher now leads all rookies with 17 points in 18 games. Conacher was never drafted, but the Lightning gave him a chance in the AHL last season and he posted an incredible 80 points and 114 penalty minutes in 75 contests with the Norfolk Admirals. He also stayed strong in the minors during the lockout and it's looking like the Lightning found an ideal diamond in the rough.

Cory Conacher registered an assist in the Lightning's 6-5 overtime win over the Florida Panthers Saturday night.

The diminutive forward picked up an assist on Stamkos' goal, ending a six-game stretch without a point. The rookie started the season strong before cooling down but should still be owned in 14-team leagues.
