NOTES

LIGHTNING: The agent for Tampa Bay forward Jonathan Drouin says the third overall pick in the 2013 NHL draft has requested a trade from the Lightning.

Agent Allan Walsh said in a statement released Sunday – one day after Drouin was assigned to Syracuse of the American Hockey League – that he formally made the request on behalf of the 20-year-old left wing in November.

BLACKHAWKS: Chicago loaned defenseman David Rundblad to the ZSC Lions in Switzerland.

A native of Lycksele, Sweden, Rundblad has two assists in nine games with Chicago this season.
