The Ottawa Senators were forced to sign a defenseman on Sunday amid the team's struggle with a COVID-19 outbreak, which now has 10 players on the NHL's COVID protocol list.

Per the Sens' social media team, the club has signed defenseman Zac Leslie to a prorated 1-year, two-way contract worth $750,000 at the NHL level, with his AHL cap hit coming in at $150,000.

Leslie was originally drafted in the 6th round, 178th overall, by the Los Angeles Kings back in 2013.

The 27-year-old is a career AHLer, who played with the Stockton Heat for the last two seasons before signing a 1-year contract with the Sens' AHL affiliates, the Belleville Senators, this past offseason.

In 9 appearances with Belleville this season, Leslie has registered two assists and 25 penalty minutes.

Despite the Senators' struggles with COVID-19, the NHL remains hesitant to postpone any games this season.
