Report: Senators, Dzingel nearly $1M apart in contract talks

The Ottawa Senators and Ryan Dzingel have yet to find common ground.

Dzingel, a restricted free agent who has filed for salary arbitration, is looking for $1.95 million on a new a deal, nearly double the $1 million being offered by the Senators, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.

Dzingel appeared in 81 games with the Senators last season, netting 14 goals and 18 assists. The 25-year-old took home $750,000 in 2016-17, according to Cap Friendly.

If the two sides are unable to come to terms, they'll go before an arbitrator, with their case set for Friday.
