Pierre-Edouard Bellemare has returned to the Colorado Avalanche, where he enjoyed a warm welcome filled with hugs as he signed a player-tryout contract ahead of training camp.

At nearly 40 years old, Bellemare is eager to prove his worth and contribute to the Avalanche's quest for another Stanley Cup. He aims to fill a vacant fourth-line center position, leveraging his experience, leadership, and penalty-killing abilities.
