Pittsburgh Penguins forward Rickard Rakell has been identified as a potential trade target for the Ottawa Senators, according to a report from Heavy.com. The 31-year-old Swedish winger, who wore number 67 for Pittsburgh, was photographed in action during a March 30, 2026 matchup against the New York Islanders at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
Rakell, a veteran of over 700 NHL games, has spent recent seasons with the Penguins after beginning his career with the Anaheim Ducks. His combination of scoring ability and playoff experience could make him an attractive addition for a Senators team looking to bolster its forward depth. The report, authored by Nestor Quixtan and published on November 6, 2026, suggests Ottawa may pursue the veteran as they continue to build toward contention in the Eastern Conference.
