Suzuki signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Senators on Wednesday.
Suzuki got his first taste of NHL action with the Hurricanes during the 2024-25 campaign, but he spent all of last season at AHL Chicago. He recorded 13 goals, 35 assists and 30 PIM over 66 regular-season appearances last year and will likely spend most of his time in the minors once again during the 2026-27 season.

Rotowire
Suzuki logged three assists in AHL Chicago's 7-6 loss to Texas on Sunday.

Suzuki had three assists in AHL Chicago's 6-4 win over Milwaukee on Friday.
Suzuki hadn't logged a multi-point effort since Oct. 19. The 24-year-old is at just two goals and 13 points through 21 outings this season. Suzuki's never really gotten an extended look in the NHL after going 28th overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, and his drop in production this year won't help his case for a call-up.

Hurricanes' Ryan Suzuki: Closing in on return
Rotowire
Suzuki (shoulder) is expected to return to action soon as coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters Wednesday, "I think they're really close to playing, if not about to play," per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Given his extended absence, Suzuki could be in line for some minutes in the minors on a conditioning assignment, though Carolina doesn't currently have an AHL affiliate which will complicate matters. Eventually, once given the all-clear to suit up, Suzuki could challenge for a spot on the 23-man roster despite having yet to make his NHL debut.
