Free agent forward Chris Kreider has inked a one-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens. The signing was confirmed by the team, although specific financial terms were not disclosed. The agreement came after Kreider and the Anaheim Ducks mutually agreed to terminate his existing contract earlier in the week, paving the way for his move to Montreal.
Kreider, who joined Anaheim from the New York Rangers in 2025, spent just one season with the Ducks. Throughout his career with both the Rangers and the Ducks, he has amassed impressive statistics, including 348 goals and 284 assists in 958 games. The 35-year-old veteran notably contributed 22 goals and 28 assists for Anaheim during the previous season.
