Fitzpatrick Gets NHL Tryout

Evan Fitzpatrick of St. John’s doesn’t have an NHL contract for next season but the 23-year-old will get an opportunity to try out for the Florida Panthers. Fitzpatrick has been invited to attend the Panthers’ training camp on a professional tryout (PTO) basis.

This invite comes after Fitzpatrick signed a two-year American Hockey League deal with the Charlotte Checkers. After being drafted in the second round by the St. Louis Blues, Fitzpatrick became an unrestricted free agent when the Blues failed to make him a qualifying offer at the end of his three-year entry-level contract.

The NHL team has just two other goalies signed to pro contracts – 28 year-old Christopher Gibson and 24 year-old Samuel Montembeault. Both these goalies have seen some NHL action but have spent the bulk of their career in the AHL. Besides these two AHL goalies, the Panthers have two unsigned goalies listed on their reserve list but both are in Russia. One is a 32 year-old whose rights have been held by the Panthers since 2007 and the other is a 2021 draft pick.

Fitzpatrick is a definite wildcard.
