Dave Cameron signed a two-year contract as coach of the Ottawa Senators, general manager Bryan Murray said Thursday. The two sides had agreed to terms June 4.
The Senators went 32-15-8 this season after Cameron replaced Paul MacLean on Dec. 8, including a 23-4-4 finish to overcome a 14-point deficit and earn the first wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference. Ottawa lost to the Montreal Canadiens in six games in the Eastern Conference First Round.
Cameron, 56, had joined the Senators as an assistant under MacLean in 2011.
