With the Senators in the playoffs and their farm team in Belleville not making the playoffs, Ottawa has determined which players will be joining the team as their Black Aces.
The Ottawa Senators announced that they have signed forward Garrett Pilon and defenseman Jeremy Davies to contracts. Pilon is signing a two-year, two-way contract with an average annual value (AAV) of $775,000.
Garrett Pilon played the role of hero for the Belleville Senators, depositing a rebound off Stephen Halliday’s shot 2:17 into overtime to give his team a 4-3 win, and more importantly, their first playoff series victory since leaving Binghamton in 2017.
The NHL began awarding the Conn Smythe Trophy to the most valuable player of the postseason beginning in the 1965 season. How many of the past winners can you name in six minutes?
