Overview

• NHL insider Frank Seravalli reported the tryout agreement, which was later confirmed by The Athletic’s Peter Bough.
• Sustr, 34, is a 6-foot-7 right-shot defenseman with 361 NHL games and 69 career points, plus 46 postseason appearances.
• He last played in the NHL in 2021–22 and spent recent seasons in Europe with Kölner Haie, HC Dynamo Pardubice, and Tappara.
• The tryout positions him to compete for a seventh-defenseman spot or organizational depth, with a full-time NHL role viewed as unlikely based on current reports.
• Seravalli noted there are 19 players on NHL tryout agreements as training camps open next week.
