Former Medicine Hat Tigers goalie Mads Søgaard has signed a three-year entry-level deal with the Ottawa Senators.

“Mads’ development continued to strongly progress while playing overseas in 2020-21,” said Ottawa Senators general manager Pierre Dorion. “He’s a big, athletic presence in the net and showcases a very competitive style. We’re anticipating a nice transition to North America next season.”

Søgaard compiled a 40-21-4 record between the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons with the Tigers. This past year the Denmark native played in that country’s top league posting a record of 10-5-1, a league-leading .922 save percentage and a 2.58 average.

Søgaard was drafted in the second round, 37th overall, in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.
