The Ottawa Senators have re-signed forward Claude Giroux to a one-year contract worth $5 million. The agreement marks Giroux's 20th NHL season. The contract structure places $2 million against the salary cap, with the remaining $3 million structured as performance bonuses.
In four seasons with Ottawa, Giroux missed one regular-season game. He recorded a career-high 35 goals in 2022-23 and added 21 goals the following season. Giroux averaged 19 minutes and 17 seconds of ice time per game over his career. Entering the upcoming season, he needs 21 goals to reach 400 for his NHL career.
Last season, Giroux recorded 14 goals and 49 points while playing on multiple forward lines. The Senators returned to the Eastern Conference playoffs during that campaign. Giroux was selected 22nd overall in the 2006 NHL Draft. He has represented Canada at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey and the 2015 world championship.
