"Alex's acquisition brings immediate and additional firepower to our forward group," said Senators general manager Pierre Dorion. "He's a dynamic forward who's a scoring threat to the opponent when in the attacking zone. He maintains great vision, has exceptional skill and a quality shot which helps him score from virtually any part of the ice. He's a consistent performer and an underrated playmaker who Senators' fans are certain to enjoy watching play in Ottawa."
DeBrincat, 24, was selected by the Blackhawks with the team's first second-round draft pick (39th overall) at the 2016 NHL Draft. Over 360 career NHL games, all of which have occurred with Chicago, he has posted 307 points (160 goals, 147 assists) and 67 penalty minutes. He has also tallied six points (two goals, four assists) and nine penalty minutes over nine NHL post-season contests.
An NHL All-Star in 2021-22, DeBrincat is one of only 40 all-time Blackhawks to register 300 points for the franchise. Internationally, he has represented the United States on three occasions and most recently helped the Americans to a bronze medal at the 2019 IIHF World Championship in Slovakia where he registered nine points (including a team-best seven goals) while skating in each of the team's eight tournament contests.
