Centre Nick Cousins is set to re-sign with the Senators on a two-year, $3.175 million contract, worth 1.5875 million in average annual value, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reported Tuesday.

Cousins, 32, was a big part of the Senators’ physical group, finishing with 169 hits — third most among skaters — and a team-leading 92 penalty minutes.

On the scoresheet, he added nine goals and 14 assists in 81 games while playing 11:25 ice time per night.

A third-round pick by Philadelphia from 2011, the Belleville, Ont., native has 86 goals and 132 assists in 723 career NHL games split between the Senators, Flyers, Arizona Coyotes, Montreal Canadiens, Vegas Golden Knights, Nashville Predators and Florida Panthers.

He joined the Sens as a free agent ahead of the 2024-25 season and re-signed with them last summer on a one-year deal.
