    Published Sep 12, 2026

    Montreal Canadiens News

    Chris Kreider, after 13 seasons with the Rangers and a standout year with the Ducks, is heading to Montreal on a one-year deal worth $2.15M — poised to ignite the Canadiens’ push for a Stanley Cup in 2026-27. His scoring punch and playoff grit make him a perfect fit for a team that fell just short last year, but his past collision with Carey Price in 2014 adds a layer of history. Still, Kreider’s 22 goals and 28 assists last season prove he’s still elite — and ready to help the Habs finish what

    Montreal Canadiens pull off a savvy move by signing 35-year-old Chris Kreider on a one-year, $2.15M deal with potential bonuses — he delivered 22 goals and 50 points last season.
