OTTAWA -- Thunder Bay's Tom Pyatt has a new two-year, $2.2-million deal to remain with the Ottawa Senators.
Pyatt, 30, returned to the NHL last fall to play with the Senators, dressing for all 82 regular season games and 14 playoff games as Ottawa made a surprising run to the Eastern Conference final. The deal pays Pyatt $1 million in 2017-18 and $1.2 million in 2018-19, according to a release issued on Monday by the team.
He had nine goals and 23 assists during the regular season, adding two more goals during the playoffs, after spending the two previous seasons in Switzerland.
He was drafted by the New York Rangers in the fourth round of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft and was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in 2009, for whom he made his NHL debut that fall.
Pyatt has 36 goals and 77 points in 327 career games.
