Senators re-sign Filip Gustavsson to 2-year deal

The Ottawa Senators are bringing back goaltender Filip Gustavsson on a two-year contract.

Gustavsson was a restricted free agent. The first year of his new deal is of the two-way variety, but the second is one way at an $825,000 cap hit.

The 23-year-old went 5-1-2 with a .933 save percentage over nine games with Ottawa as a rookie last season. He also posted a .910 save percentage in 13 contests with the Senators' AHL affiliate in Belleville in 2021, having spent parts of the last four campaigns with the farm club.

Gustavsson will likely enter the 2021-22 campaign behind Matt Murray and Anton Forsberg on Ottawa's goaltending depth chart.

The Senators have three remaining RFAs in forwards Brady Tkachuk, Drake Batherson, and Logan Brown.
