The Montreal Canadiens are set to sign goaltender Kevin Mandolese to a Professional Tryout (PTO) agreement as they prepare for the upcoming NHL season. Mandolese, a promising talent, showcased his potential in previous seasons, and the Canadiens aim to evaluate his skills during training camp. This decision signals the team's search for depth in the goaltending position, especially with the unpredictability of injuries and performance.

Mandolese’s career has been on the rise since he was drafted, and he has made appearances in the AHL, where he has demonstrated solid performances. The Canadiens' coaching staff is excited to bring him in and see how he fits into their plans. This PTO provides Mandolese a valuable opportunity to compete for a spot on the NHL roster and potentially make an impact at the professional level.

The Canadiens have a history of developing young talent, and if Mandolese impresses during the preseason, he may earn a spot on the roster, adding depth to the team’s goaltending ranks. Fans will be watching closely to see how this unfolds, particularly in a league where goaltending can often dictate a team's success during the season.
