The Anaheim Ducks added some scoring punch ahead of next week's NHL trade deadline, acquiring right wing Patrick Eaves from the Dallas Stars on Friday for a conditional second-round draft pick.
Eaves, who is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent, has already set a career high for goals this season, scoring his 21st on Feb. 11 against the Carolina Hurricanes.
The draft pick headed to Dallas will become a first-rounder in 2017 if Eaves plays in more than 50 percent of the Ducks' game in the opening two rounds of the playoffs, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.
