Unrestricted free agent forward Zack MacEwen signed a three-year, $2.325 million contract with the Ottawa Senators on Thursday.
MacEwen, who will turn 27 on Saturday, recorded 10 points (four goals, six assists), 66 penalty minutes and 150 hits in 56 games last season split between the Philadelphia Flyers and Los Angeles Kings. The Kings acquired the rugged forward ahead of the trade deadline.
“Zack’s a player with strong character who adds increased physicality to our lineup,” Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said. “He’s a hard-nosed, competitive player who’s a tenacious forechecker and who demonstrates a routine willingness to go to the hard areas.”
MacEwen has totaled 28 points (13 goals, 15 assists) and 245 penalty minutes in 186 career games with the Vancouver Canucks, Flyers and Kings.
