The Ottawa Senators have signed forward Zack MacEwen to a three-year, $2.325-million contract, the team announced Thursday.

MacEwen split last season between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Los Angeles Kings and recorded four goals and six assists in 56 games. He also had one goal and two assists in 10 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the American Hockey League.

“Zack’s a player with strong character who adds increased physicality to our lineup,” Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said in a release. “He’s a hard-nosed, competitive player who’s a tenacious forechecker and who demonstrates a routine willingness to go to the hard areas.”

The 26-year-old enforcer from Charlottetown has 28 points (13 goals and 15 assists) and 245 penalty minutes over five NHL seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, Flyers and Kings.
