The Ottawa Senators signed free agent forward Vladimir Tarasenko to a one-year, $5 million deal.
The 31-year-old veteran tallied a combined 50 points (18 goals, 32 assists) in 69 games last season with the St. Louis Blues and New York Rangers.
A former 40-goal scorer and 2019 Stanley Cup champion, Tarasenko has 574 points (270 goals, 304 assists) in 675 games with the Blues (2012-23) and Rangers.
The Blues drafted the four-time All-Star Game participant in the first round (16th overall) in 2010.
St. Louis traded Tarasenko and Niko Mikkola to New York on Feb. 9 in exchange for Sammy Blais, Hunter Skinner, a first-round pick in 2023 and a fourth-rounder in 2024.
