The Anaheim Ducks have signed unrestricted free agent defenceman Nick Jensen to a two-year contract and UFA forward Jeff Malott to a three-year deal.
Jensen, 35, had four goals and 17 points in 61 games with the Ottawa Senators last season while averaging 17:01 of ice time. He did not appear in the Senators’ four-game loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the playoffs.
