Kreider finds fresh start with Canadiens after Ducks contract termination

Veteran forward Chris Kreider signed a one-year deal with the Montreal Canadiens after Anaheim terminated his contract following waivers; he posted 50 points (22 goals, 28 assists) in 75 regular-season games and seven points in 12 playoff games last season with the Ducks, who acquired him from the Rangers in 2025. In 14 NHL seasons between New York and Anaheim, Kreider has 632 points in 958 games. He joins a Canadiens club that finished third in the Atlantic Division last season (48-24-10) and advanced to the Eastern Conference Final before losing to the Hurricanes.
