Report: Senators, Giroux find common ground in contract talks

The Ottawa Senators and forward Claude Giroux, a pending unrestricted free agent, are engaged in contract discussions, with informal talks already held and a face-to-face meeting planned for next week, according to Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch.
