Morning roundtable: Viktor Stalberg, Nikolay Goldobin among early trade-deadline winners

Joe McDonald: Ottawa Senators GM Pierre Dorion wanted to add forward help for the stretch run and he was able to acquire Viktor Stalberg from the Carolina Hurricanes before the trade deadline. The Senators are trying to keep pace with the Montreal Canadiens for the top spot in the Atlantic Division, and Stalberg helped with that on Saturday, scoring his first goal since Feb. 24 in a 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Senators' eighth win in their last 12 games. Stalberg's presence will help the Sens remain confident the rest of the way.
