The Ottawa Senators will head into the 2022-23 season with a new face among their leadership group.

On Monday, the team announced that veteran forward Claude Giroux will be an assistant captain, joining Thomas Chabot, who is also an assistant and Brady Tkachuk, who is captain.

Giroux is no stranger to being a leader. Prior to his trade to the Florida Panthers at last season's trade deadline, the Hearst (Ontario) native spent ten seasons as captain of the Philadelphia Flyers.

The 34-year-old became an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career this summer and signed a three-year contract worth $19.5 million ($6.5 million AAV) with Ottawa.
