The Ottawa Senators locked up a key support player late Thursday, signing winger Mathieu Joseph to a four\u002Dyear, $11.8 million extension.
Joseph had earlier filed for salary arbitration, but the new contract means that Joseph is all locked up now in advance of training camp in September.
Joseph, 25, has scored 41 goals and 41 assists in 232 NHL games with the Lightning and Senators and will likely slot in on a third line, perhaps playing alongside Shane Pinto. Joseph will make $2.5 million in 2022-23, $2.7 million in 2023-24, and $3.3 million in each of the final two seasons of the contract. The salary cap hit is $2.95 million.
The deal with Joseph continues what has been a busy summer for Dorion and the organization. The Senators acquired winger Alex DeBrincat from Chicago in a trade that sent the seventh overall draft pick to the Blackhawks. In an additional move, the Senators brought in goaltender Cam Talbot from the Minnesota Wild for Filip Gustavsson. Talbot and Anton Forsberg are expected to compete for the number one job.
