There's a Shark in these waters

The Ottawa Senators have agreed to terms with forward Egor Sokolov

Shark is back in the black, red, white and gold! After setting the record for most career goals with the Belleville Senators last season, Egor Sokolov will be back

A perennial fan favourite, Sokolov was the 61st pick in the 2020 NHL Draft from the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the QMJHL. Since then he has spent the last three years playing between the Belleville Senators and in Ottawa.

Over his three seasons in Belleville Sokolov has earned a reputation as a goal scorer, lighting the lamp 55 times in 169 career AHL games. He saw the fruits of his labours pay off this year when he tallied his first career NHL goal against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Fitting for such a fan favourite to score his first career goal on Fan Appreciation Weekend!

Sokolov will compete for a spot on the main roster at this years training camp starting tomorrow before the team’s first game against the toronot Maple Leafs on September 24^th at Canadian Tire Centre.
