AMBRÌ, Switzerland — Forward Alex Formenton has signed a one-year contract with HC Ambri-Piotta in the Swiss League after the restricted free agent failed to sign a new deal with the Ottawa Senators.

Formenton is ineligible to play in the NHL this year after the Dec. 1 deadline for signing RFAs passed without him agreeing to a contract with the Senators.

Ottawa retains his NHL rights.

Formenton had 18 goals and 14 assists in 79 games last season.
