The Ottawa Senators have signed top defence prospect Jacob Bernard-Docker to a three-year, entry-level contract. Terms of the deal were not released.
The 20-year-old will report to the Senators after completing a seven-day quarantine.
"Jacob represents another key component of our future," Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said in a statement. "He's very mature for his age and already possesses great gap and stick detail within his game. He's an exemplary leader and a winner who we're looking forward to seeing in our lineup."
Bernard-Docker joins the Senators after completing his third season at the University of North Dakota, where he had three goals and 18 points in 27 games. He finishes school with 60 career points in 95 games.
The native of Canmore, Alta., was selected by the Senators in the first-round (26th overall) in 2018.
