Currie had three goals, nine assists, four PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 48 games with Metallurg (KHL) and has signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 with Ottawa. The 30-year-old centre has spent his last two seasons in the KHL but brings two goals, five points and 22 games experience to the Senators.

After a 21-game stint with the Oilers in 2019, Currie spent all of 2020 in the AHL. He finished the season with a team-high in goals (24) and points (41) and will head to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) to start 2021.

Currie has registered 24 goals and 13 assists (37 points) in 49 games with Bakersfield this season. The 26-year-old undrafted free-agent could make his NHL debut on Tuesday after earning a call-up following 154 career ECHL games and 237 AHL games since 2014.
