The team announced last week that Melnyk was in need of a live liver transplant and put 12 people through a screening process.
Melnyk went into surgery at noon Eastern, and it was completed at 8:05 p.m., the Senators said.
The Senators said that the University Health Network's Multi-Organ Transplant Program will update Melnyk and the donor's progress later this week.
