OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) -- The Ottawa Senators have signed head coach Dave Cameron to a two-year contract extension Thursday.
Cameron is under contract to the NHL club through the 2016-17 season.
Cameron, 56, was promoted to head coach last December after Paul MacLean was fired. The Senators were 32-15-8 under Cameron, rallying from a 14-point deficit to secure an Eastern Conference wild-card playoff spot.
Ottawa lost its opening-round series to the Montreal Canadiens in six games.
Cameron joined the Senators as an assistant under MacLean in 2011. Prior to that, Cameron spent four seasons as head coach/GM of the Ontario Hockey League's Mississauga St.
