"We're very pleased to come to a long-term agreement with Josh," said Senators general manager Pierre Dorion. "He's a versatile forward who continues to mature into an exceptional NHL player. His scoring prowess has already shown to be a considerable asset for us and one that will help us reach the next level. His dedication and the pride he takes in his physical conditioning will serve as a great example for our next wave of young players."

Norris, 23, was originally drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the first round (19th overall) in 2017, but was traded to Ottawa in September 2018 in the Erik Karlsson deal.

The Oxford (Michigan) native had a breakout year in 2021-22. In 66 games, Norris put up 55 points (35 goals, 20 assists), sixteen penalty minutes and was a minus-seven.
