The Ottawa Senators continued to retool on Day 2 of the NHL draft.

After making three picks in the first round, general manager Bryan Murray acquired Russian forward Nikita Filatov from the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday for a third-round pick before drafting Ottawa 67's centre Shane Prince at No. 61.

Filatov, who was drafted sixth overall by the Blue Jackets in the 2008 draft, had seven assists in 23 games with Columbus last season.

"It's a no-lose for us," Murray said. "We're going to give him every chance, he deserves that."
