Senators sign UNH’s Bobby Butler

With New Hampshire finishing up their NCAA tournament a bit prematurely, the Ottawa Senators have signed winger Bobby Butler. According to Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun:

Butler, a native of Marlborough, Mass., is a Hobey Baker Top 10 Finalist and helped lead the UNH Wildcats to the Hockey East season championship. The 6-foot, 185-pounder was captain with the Wildcats this season. He was signed as a free agent.

Butler led the NCAA with 27 goals this season, and lead Hockey East with 41 points in the regular season.

He could join the team Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes, and should help add some much-needed scoring depth to an Ottawa Senators team that looks to have finally pulled out of post-Olympics slump.
