Forward Chris Kelly signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, returning to where his NHL career began in 2003-04.
"We are excited to welcome Chris back to Ottawa," Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said in a statement. "We felt that we needed another player with the ability to succeed in close situations and on the penalty kill. Chris will be able to contribute to both of those while adding another accomplished leader to our group."
