NHL-TRADES

Kings get Quick, Wild acquire Hanzal

UNDATED (AP) — The NHL trade deadline isn't until Wednesday, but the Los Angeles Kings and Minnesota Wild aren't waiting that long to bolster their teams.

The Kings have landed another netminder to go with Jonathan Quick, getting Ben Bishop from Tampa Bay on Sunday for goalie Peter Budaj and the rights to junior defenseman Erik Cernak. The deal also includes a swap of draft picks.

Bishop is 16-12-3 with a 2.55 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage this season.

Meanwhile, the Wild have acquired center Martin Hanzal from the Arizona Coyotes. The Coyotes also receive a 2017 first-round pick, a 2018 second-round pick, a conditional 2019 fourth-round pick and minor leaguer Grayson Downing. Forward Ryan White and a 2017 fourth-round pick go to Minnesota as part of the package.

Hanzal has 16 goals and 26 points in 51 games this season, making him one of the top rental players available ahead of the trade deadline. The 30-year-old Hanzal can become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
