The Ottawa Senators have signed forward Clarke MacArthur to a $23.25-million, five-year extension. MacArthur, a 29-year-old, scored a career-high 24 goals and had 31 assists in 79 games last season.

In 482 regular-season games with Buffalo, Atlanta, Toronto and Ottawa, MacArthur has 268 points and 307 penalty minutes.
