The Minnesota Wild and New York Rangers have swapped wingers.
The Wild send Pascal Dupuis to the Rangers in exchange for Adam Hall.
Dupuis, 27, has played 334 career games with the Wild, recording 141 points. This season, the 6-foot, 196-pounder has 10 goals, 13 points and is minus-7 in 48 games.
Hall, 26, has collected 12 points and is minus-13 in 49 games with the Rangers this season. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound forward was acquired from Nashville last summer, in exchange for Dominic Moore. Hall has 97 points in 293 career games.
Hall is earning $975,000 this year and will be a restricted free agent at the end of the season. Dupuis is making $798,000 and will be an unrestricted free agent.
"This is something that we've wanted for some time," said Wild assistant GM Tom Lynn in a statement. "Because the element of grit is not widely available in the trade market, we feel we are getting a player that brings more of that physical element while New York is getting more of a penalty killer. Having that toughness is definitely needed in a playoff push."

The rainstorm -- 10 days anterior to the hit of winter -- took its greatest sounding in Minnesota, where as much as two feet (61 centimeters) of snow had fallen in some locations, according to the Country-wide Live through Service (NWS).
The country's largest big apple Minneapolis was junior to a blanket of corpse-like 17 inches (43 cm) mysterious, the worst snowfall to hit the big apple in more than 19 years and the fifth-biggest on record.
As an indicator of the simoom's mercilessness, Minneapolis-St. Paul Universal Airport -- a transit heart with adroitness in contending with foul rise above -- was shut down in return the maiden point in years.
