The Avalanche also received a 2026 seventh-round pick in exchange for a sixth-round selection in the same draft.
Mandolese, 23, made three starts for Ottawa in 2022-23 and went 1-2-0 with a 3.29 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.
The Quebec native, a sixth-round pick by the Senators in 2018, has a 28-28-5 career record with a 3.30 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 66 appearances for the AHL’s Belleville Senators.
