Senators, Pageau reach 3-year extension

Ottawa Senators playoff hero Jean-Gabriel Pageau is back in the fold, agreeing to a three-year extension worth $9.3 million, the team announced Monday.

Pageau was a restricted free agent who'd filed for arbitration, and had a hearing set for later this month prior to settling with the Senators on Monday.

The 24-year-old appeared in all 82 games with the Senators last season, registering 12 goals and 21 assists.

The Ottawa native was among the team's top producers in the playoffs, recording 10 points in 19 games, including a four-goal outing against the New York Rangers.
