Blackhawks stay busy, swing two trades

The defending champion Blackhawks pulled the trigger on two trades Friday, acquiring forwards Tomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise and defenseman Christian Ehrhoff in two separate deals.

The Blackhawks sent forward Phillip Danault and a 2018 second-round pick to Montreal for the forwards. Earlier, Chicago dealt Rob Scuderi to Los Angeles for Ehrhoff.

Fleischmann (10 goals and 10 assists) and Weise (14 goals and 12 assists) are veterans with a combined 69 playoff games between them.

Ehrhoff has appeared in 73 Stanley Cup playoff games, although the 33-year-old German was demoted to the AHL earlier this month.
