Veteran forward Claude Giroux is staying in Ottawa after agreeing to a one-year contract with the Senators, the team announced Sunday.
The contract carries a base salary of $2 million and can be worth up to $4.75 million.
The 37-year-old Giroux will now return for a fourth season in Ottawa, after helping the Senators reach the playoffs for the first time in eight years.
The former Flyers captain had 15 goals and 35 assists in 81 games to reach 50 points for a 13th career season last year.
In three seasons with Ottawa, he has scored 71 goals. A seven-time All-Star, he has 365 goals in 18 NHL seasons.
