OTTAWA, Ontario -- The Ottawa Senators have signed veteran forward Chris Neil to a three-year contract extension.

The 33-year-old has spent his entire 10-season career with the Senators, recording 90 goals and 110 assists along with a franchise-leading 1,861 penalty minutes.

The Flesherton, Ontario, native had 13 goals and 15 assists in 72 games last season.
