VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have dealt a pair of depth forwards ahead of the NHL’s trade deadline.

The team sent pending unrestricted free agent David Kampf to the Washington Capitals and Lukas Reichel to the Boston Bruins, both for sixth-round picks on Friday.

Kampf, a 31-year-old Czech centre, put up two goals and six points over 38 games for the Canucks this season.

Reichel, a 23-year-old German winger, had one assist over 14 appearances.

Vancouver also picked centre Curtis Douglas off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday.

The 26-year-old forward from Oakville, Ont., has two assists and 92 penalty minutes this season, his first in the league.
