In 94 games with the Senators, Chychrun has collected 46 points, including 16 goals. The left-handed defenseman is leaving the Canadian capital to head to the American capital.
Already counting on Thomas Chabot and Jake Sanderson on the left side, Ottawa has chosen to strengthen the right side with the acquisition of Jensena 33-year-old veteran who established himself in the National Hockey League (NHL) in the fall of 2016.
He started his career with the Red Wings from Detroit before heading to Washington.
