Rizzo agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Kalmar HC of Sweden's HockeyAllsvenskan on Wednesday.
Rizzo hasn't appeared in an NHL game since being selected by the Hurricanes in the seventh round of the 2019 NHL Draft. A product of the University of Denver, the 25-year-old center will now give international hockey a try. If he can find his offensive upside, Rizzo may still have an outside chance of getting another NHL opportunity.
