Mandolese was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday, Brennan Vogt of Hockey Mountain High reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mandolese spent a few days with the NHL club in early April but hasn't yet appeared in a game for the Avalanche this year. He'll provide additional goaltending depth ahead of the postseason, but it seems unlikely that he'll have much of a role during the Stanley Cup Playoffs as long as Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood are healthy.
