Senators sign Colin Greening to three-year contract extension

The Ottawa Senators signed left-winger Colin Greening to a three-year contract extension on Monday.

Greening will make $2-million in 2014-15, $2.75-million in 2015-16 and $3.2-million in 2016-17.

The 27-year-old native of St. John's, Nfld., was set to become an unrestricted free agent following the 2013-'14 season.

Greening had eight goals and 11 assists with Ottawa in the lockout-shortened 2013 campaign. He added three goals and an assist in 10 playoff games.

The 6 foot 2, 217-pound Greening has 31 goals and 38 assists in 153 career NHL games.

Greening, a seventh-round pick in 2005, won a Calder Cup in 2011 with the American Hockey League's Binghamton Senators.
