OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators have signed goaltender Kevin Reidler on a two-year, entry-level contract set to start in the 2026-27 season, the NHL team announced Monday.

Reidler will join the American Hockey League’s Belleville Senators on an amateur tryout agreement for the rest of this season.

The six-foot-six, 206-pound netminder posted an 11-7-0 record with a 3.31 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage with the NCAA’s Penn State Nittany Lions this season.

The Senators selected the 21-year-old from Gavle, Sweden, in the fifth round (151st overall) of the 2022 NHL draft.

The Senators entered Monday two points behind Columbus for the final wild-card berth in the Eastern Conference.

Their next game is Tuesday night at Florida.
