Irving agreed to terms on a contract with HC Bolzano of the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga (Austria) on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Taken with the 26th overall pick in the 2006 NHL Draft, Irving failed to live up to billing and made a mere 13 NHL appearances for the Flames, in which he posted a 3-4-4 record and 3.25 GAA. The netminder has bounced between the AHL and Europe (including a stint in the KHL), so it may not be the last we've seen of the 30-year-old.

The Penguins sent Irving to AHL Wilkes Barre on Monday, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Irving's faint chances of serving as Marc-Andre Fleury's backup to open the season took a hit when prospect Tristan Jarry rolled off a pair of back-to-back preseason shutouts. Irving will look to rebuild his value at the AHL level after spending 2014-15 in the KHL.

The Penguins signed Irving to a professional tryout contract Thursday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Irving will likely serve as depth in Pittsburgh at least until Marc-Andre Fleury or Matt Murray is traded or injured. The goalie went 12-22-6 with a 2.68 GAA and .913 save percentage for AHL Iowa in 2015-16. Irving, 28, last played in the NHL in 2012-13 with Calgary and more recently toiled in the KHL.

Irving will attend the Lightning's training camp on a tryout invite, reports the Tampa Tribune. He played last season with Jokerit in Finland. His numbers were good overseas -- he delivered a 23-18-12 record with a 2.14 GAA and .922 save percentage in 55 games. Competition will be stiff -- the duo at the NHL level is set and so is the AHL pairing, so he'll need to stand on his head to displace another twinetender.

Leland Irving is slated to try out with Jokerit of the SM-liiga, according to the team's website. The Google translation said Irving will arrive in Helsinki shortly to begin a "month-long probation." He skated in 13 games with the Calgary Flames over the last two seasons and wasn't retained when he became an unrestricted free agent.

Leland Irving's time with the Calgary Flames is likely done. Irving is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent, and the Flames have given little indication that they feel he's part of their future plans. He had a 3.33 GAA and .883 save percentage in six games this season. Irving's agent Ritch Winter naturally sang his client's praises, both saying that Irving will become a solid number one goaltender in the NHL and would like to re-sign with Calgary. Perhaps Irving will eventually become a good number one goaltender, but we don't have high short-term expectations for him. However, that could change if he signs with a team that lacks major competition.

Leland Irving has been sent down to the minors by the Calgary Flames. When Miikka Kiprusoff got injured, it looked like it would be a key opportunity for Irving. Unfortunately it hasn't worked out and the Flames ultimately claimed Joey MacDonald off of waivers, who has passed Irving on the depth charts.

Leland Irving didn't receive too much of the blame following Calgary's 5-2 loss on Friday. Irving allowed two goals on just four shots in 4:07 minutes of playing time before Joey MacDonald replaced him. "We shouldn't even be talking about our goalies tonight. We just didn't give them a chance," said Flames head coach Bob Hartley. "We handed them the game. A couple of bad turnovers in the first period in our zone, giveaways, and that's a team simply too deep in talent to give them point-blank shots. We fought back, but the damage was done." All the same, for a guy fighting to stay with the Flames bonce Miikka Kiprusoff is healthy, Irving didn't do anything to advance his cause on Friday.

Leland Irving saved 30 of 34 shots in a 7-4 victory Wednesday night. Two of the four goals Irving surrendered were scored when the Flames were attempting to kill a penalty. Irving now has a 2.93 GAA and .895 save percentage in five games this season.

Look for Leland Irving to be between the pipes for Calgary Wednesday night. The Flames did not confirm their starter, but Irving has filled in admirably for injured No. 1 goalie Miikka Kiprusoff and new addition Joey MacDonald hasn't played yet this season since recovering from a back injury. Coach Bob Hartley also commented that the team was "going to keep riding Leland" while Kiprusoff is out.
