Scott Sabourin signs with the Sens

Being posterized by Auston Matthews got the attention of the fans,but Scott Sabourin nailed down a far more important goal today: a contract with the Ottawa Senators.

A few days ago, Scott Sabourin was just another career minor leaguer, in training camp with the Sens. When he started talking trash Auston Matthews, the latter casually took a look at the back of Sabourin's jersey, implying his no-name status.

Sabourin's contract is two-way, paying $100,000 at the AHL level and $700,000 if he is called up to the main roster. He has 77 points and 636 penalty minutes in 308 AHL games, and won a Calder Cup with the Manchester Monarchs in 2015.
