Ottawa Senators general manager Bryan Murray announced today that the club has signed defenceman Jason Smith to a two-year contract.
The 14-year National Hockey League veteran has acted as team captain in each of his last six NHL seasons, including 2007-08 with the Philadelphia Flyers and the previous five seasons with the Edmonton Oilers.
Smith played in 77 regular-season games for Philadelphia during the 2007-08 regular season, recording one goal, nine assists and 86 penalty minutes while leading the Flyers with 204 blocked shots and 142 hits. He added two assists, four penalty minutes and a team-leading 56 hits and 45 blocked shots in 17 playoff games during the Flyers’ run to the Eastern Conference final last season.
