Senyshyn will report to training camp on September 21.
Senyshyn, 25, was selected by the Boston Bruins in the first round, 15th overall, at the 2015 NHL Draft. Following a major junior career with the Soo Greyhounds of the OHL, Senyshyn began his professional career during the 2017-18 season with Boston’s AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins.
The forward made his NHL debut for Boston on Apr. 4, 2019 against the Minnesota Wild, also scoring his first-career goal. On Mar. 21, 2022, the Ottawa Senators acquired Senyshyn and a 2022 fifth-round pick in a trade that sent Josh Brown and a conditional 2022 seventh-round pick to the Bruins.
In 16 career NHL appearances (across four seasons) to date, Senyshyn has collected a goal and two assists. During the 2021-22 season, Senyshyn made two appearances for Ottawa but did not record a point.
Last season also saw Senyshyn play in 67 AHL games, split between the Providence Bruins and Belleville Senators. He recorded 19 goals and 15 assists for a total of 34 points. Over 259 regular-season games in the minors, he has 113 career points.
The Devils’ NHL camp opens next Wednesday (Sept. 21).
