Avalanche Sign Penn State’s Matthew DiMarsico to Two-Year Entry-Level Deal

The undrafted scorer will finish this season with the AHL’s Colorado Eagles on a tryout.

Overview

  • The Avalanche, which announced the move Monday, signed the winger to a two-year entry-level contract that starts in 2026–27 and placed him with the AHL Eagles for the rest of 2025–26 on a tryout.
  • DiMarsico, 22, produced 18 goals and 42 points in 37 games this season, leading Penn State in goals and ranking second in points behind Gavin McKenna.
  • Across three college seasons, he totaled 42 goals and 58 assists for 100 points in 111 games.
  • He will have eight regular-season games with the Eagles to adjust to the pro pace, and the team is tracking toward a playoff spot that is not yet clinched.
  • An AHL tryout lets a college player enter pro games right away, while the entry-level NHL deal begins the following season under league rules.
