The Ottawa Senators could have another familiar face at training camp, as the club's reached out to Martin Havlat's agent, Allan Walsh, about the possibility of a professional tryout, reports Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

The Senators selected the forward in the first round of the 1999 NHL Draft, and Havlat spent the first five seasons of his career in Ottawa before being traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in 2006.

After the San Jose Sharks bought out his contract last summer, he signed a one-year, $1.5-million deal with the New Jersey Devils, for whom he scored five goals in 40 games in 2014-15.

The 34-year-old has recorded 593 points in 788 career games. Health permitting, Havlat could serve as depth for the Senators, who have close to $9 million in available cap space.
