Overview
- The Senators announced Wednesday they signed left wing Blake Montgomery to a three-year entry-level contract and assigned him to AHL Belleville on an amateur tryout for the rest of 2025–26.
- The contract begins in 2026–27, and the team did not release the financial terms.
- Montgomery finished his freshman year at Wisconsin with 17 points and helped the Badgers reach the NCAA championship game last week.
- Ottawa drafted him 117th overall in 2024 after he moved from the USHL to the OHL’s London Knights, where he posted 50 points in 51 games and won the Memorial Cup.
- The signing lifts Ottawa to 28 players registered for next season, and Montgomery will be a restricted free agent in 2029.
