Playing career

After his selection by the Rangers at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Tambellini played just 16 games in his freshman year with the Fighting Hawks in 2013–14 season. He then opted to leave college to return to Canada to play major junior hockey in the Western Hockey League (WHL) after his rights were acquired by the Calgary Hitmen from the Portland Winterhawks on January 8, 2014. [1] He regained his scoring touch in the WHL playing out the remainder of the season in producing 39 points in just 31 games.

In his first full season with the Hitmen in 2014–15, Tambellini scored 86 points in 71 games to earn a selection to the East Second All-Star Team. On March 10, 2015, it was announced that Tambellini had signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the New York Rangers. [2]

In his first professional season with the Rangers organization, Tambellini was assigned to its AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack for the 2015–16 season. In his rookie campaign, Tambellini finished with a promising 17 goals and 32 points in 74 games.

Following his third season with the Wolf Pack, Tambellini was not extended a qualifying offer at the conclusion of his entry-level contract. As a free agent, he signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Ottawa Senators on July 25, 2018. [3] After attending his first training camp with Ottawa, Tambellini was assigned to Belleville to play for the Senators for the 2018–19 season [4]
