What happened: The 25-year-old forward will continue his career in Europe during the 2026-27 season. The move follows a year split between AHL and ECHL assignments.
Why it matters: Rizzo changes development settings after seeing limited AHL action last season. The signing takes him out of the North American minor-league mix for now.
By the numbers: Rizzo recorded two goals and three assists in 14 AHL games last season. He added six goals and 16 assists across 29 ECHL games.
What to watch: Watch for Rizzo's role and debut when the Swedish season begins.
