Da Costa re-signed Wednesday with CSKA Moscow on a two-year contract, Igor Eronko of Sports.ru reports. After a productive 2013-14 campaign with the Senators' AHL affiliate in Birmingham, Da Costa bolted for the KHL last summer. He immediately made his mark in Russia, tallying 30 goals and 32 assists in 46 games to finish second in the league in scoring. Still only 25 years old, Da Costa could make his way back to North America once his commitment to CSKA expires.

Stephane Da Costa may head to the KHL, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie. He may head overseas because Ottawa reportedly isn't prepared to give him a one-way contract. He's set to become a restricted free agent in July. Da Costa spent most of the 2013-14 campaign in the minors with Binghamton, where he tallied 18 goals and 58 points in 56 matches.

France pulled off a shocking 3-2 shootout victory over Canada in the 2014 World Championship. Canada has only ever lost to France once before and that came in 1995. Stephane Da Costa was the hero for the French, scoring two power-play goals in regulation. Cristobal Huet turned aside 34 shots to earn the win.

The Ottawa Senators have returned Stephane Da Costa to AHL Binghamton. Da Costa has been a point-per-game player in the AHL this season, but he's still working to establish himself with Ottawa. He has three goals and four points in 12 NHL contests in 2013-14. He's eligible to play in the minors during the Olympic break.

Stephane Da Costa scored the only Ottawa goal in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Penguins Monday. Da Costa's third marker of the campaign opened the scoring, but the team wasn't able to get any more pucks behind Marc-Andre Fleury. Cory Conacher and Erik Condra drew assists on the tally.

Stephane Da Costa became the fourth player born in France to have a multi-goal game in the NHL on Tuesday when he scored a pair against Columbus. Antoine Roussel, Philippe Bozon and Paul MacLean are the others. Da Costa has appeared in just eight games with the Ottawa Senators this season. He has six goals and three assists in 43 career NHL outings.

Stephane Da Costa has been called up by Ottawa. He doesn't have a point in four NHL games this season. Da Costa has registered 12 goals and 25 assists in 37 matches with AHL Binghamton in 2013-14.

Stephane Da Costa has been placed on waivers by the Ottawa Senators. Da Costa has no points in four games this season. He's signed to a two-way contract, but he comes with a $825,000 cap hit in the NHL.

Stephane Da Costa centered Ottawa's top line at the start of Wednesday's contest against Los Angeles. He was filling for Jason Spezza, who sat out the game with a nagging groin problem. Coach Paul MacLean mixed up his line combinations throughout the night though and only his second unit (Clarke MacArthur-Kyle Turris-Cory Conacher) remained intact.

Stephane Da Costa is glad to be starting out the season with Ottawa, but he doesn't plan to be complacent. "I'm definitely excited, but I'm not relieved yet," he said. "I'm on a two-way contract and I could go down tomorrow or in two months or in two weeks, so I've got to try my best to stay here all year." He practiced between Zack Smith and Chris Neil on Tuesday, but he isn't guaranteed to play in Friday's regular-season opener at Buffalo.
