"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Anaheim Ducks have traded defenseman Bryan Allen to the Montreal Canadiens for forward Rene Bourque, the teams announced Thursday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allen, a 14-year pro, has played in just six games this season due to injuries, recording one point and averaging 18:13 of ice time. He was in his third year with the Ducks.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bourque has played in 13 games for the Canadiens, recording two points and averaging 12:21 of ice time before he was assigned to AHL affiliate Hamilton earlier this month. Bourque&amp;nbsp;scored eight goals in 17 playoff games for Montreal last season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allen is in the last year of his contract, while Bourque&amp;nbsp;is signed through next year.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;MUIR: Jack Johnson's shocking bankruptcy story&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ducks general manager Bob Murray said the following about Bourque on a conference call:\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Bourque will be coming to Anaheim and will get a decent look at a spot.&amp;nbsp;With some the things that have went on, I wasn't happy with our forwards. I like his size and skating. We're not moving well enough.&amp;nbsp;[Bourque] has also proven he can score in the playoffs, if you get there. I liked that as well.\"\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlier this month, the Canadiens made a similar move when they acquired defenseman Sergei Gonchar from the Dallas Stars in exchange for forward Travis Moen.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;\u200B&lt;strong&gt;Senators make dream come true, sign 14-year-old&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both teams lead their respective conferences in points. The Ducks are first in the West with 27 points, while the Canadiens are first in the East with 29 points.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Ben Estes&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
