OTTAWA (AP) — The Ottawa Senators have kept Milan Michalek off the market.

The Czech winger is staying with a $12 million, three-year deal the team announced Tuesday soon after NHL free agency began.

The 29-year-old Michalek was an unrestricted free agent coming off a season in which he scored 17 goals and had 39 points. He has 187 goals and 394 points in his career with the Senators and the San Jose Sharks.
