The Montreal Canadiens acquired Tomas Kaberle from the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday for fellow defenseman Jaroslav Spacek.
Despite posting four points in his last two games, Kaberle has disappointed during his first season with the Hurricanes. The 33-year-old has collected just nine assists and is a minus-12 in 29 games.
The 37-year-old Spacek, who is currently on injured reserve with an upper body issue, has three assists and two penalty minutes in 12 games this season.
Spacek hasn't played since Nov. 14, but is expected to return as soon as this weekend.
