The Ottawa Senators signed goaltender Kevin Reidler on a two-year, entry-level contract on Monday, which is set to start in the 2026-27 season.

Reidler will join the Belleville Senators for the remainder of this season on an Amateur Tryout Agreement (ATO) contract.

The 21-year-old netminder has spent this season with the Penn State Nittany Lions, posting an 11-7-0 record with a 3.31 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage in 18 games. Penn State’s season came to an end on Friday with a 3-1 loss to the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs in the NCAA Tournament.

A native of Gavle, Sweden, the 6-foot-6 Reidler was selected in the fifth round (151th overall) by the Senators in the 2022 draft.
