TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Max Pacioretty to a professional tryout.

The 35-year-old played in 47 games last season with the Washington Capitals, scoring four goals and dishing out 19 assists.

Pacioretty returned to action last season after suffering a second achilles tear in January 2023, having only played five games for Carolina in 2022-23.

His first achilles tear came in the summer of 2022, a short time after being traded to the Hurricanes from the Vegas Golden Knights.

Pacioretty’s agent, Allan Walsh, posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that it is expected Pacioretty signs a deal with the Leafs before the start of the season.
