The Philadelphia Flyers sent veteran defenseman Mark Streit to the Tampa Bay Lightning prior to Wednesday's NHL trade deadline in exchange for forward Valtteri Filppula and two draft picks.
The Flyers announced that they will receive Tampa's fourth-round pick in the 2017 NHL draft and a conditional 2017 seventh-round pick as part of the deal.
Both the Flyers and Lightning are battling for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, as they are four and five points out respectively.
In Streit, Tampa Bay acquires a 39-year-old veteran who has put up five goals and 21 points in 49 games this season.
