Coming into the 2023-24 NHL season, it made sense to think that this could be a big year for Jesse Ylonen as a Montreal Canadiens player. Turning 24 years old at the outset of the season, Ylonen appeared poised to both get opportunities this season and make the most of them.
The Montreal Canadiens are entering the final stretch run of the regular season. The NHL trade deadline looms large as it is only a few weeks away, and
The Montreal Canadiens (19-19-7) are in Massachusetts to face their longtime rivals the Boston Bruins (27-8-9) at TD Garden. The puck drop is scheduled for 7 pm ET.
The Montreal Canadiens (12-13-4) host the New York Islanders(14-7-8) at the Bell Centre on Saturday night. The puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 pm ET. The Habs are coming off a 4-3 shootout loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins that featured a strong start by Martin St-Louis’ team.
The Montreal Canadiens fell 5-4 to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night, but the game produced a few new line combinations. Juraj Slafkovsky and Jesse Ylonen were flanked by Christian Dvorak.
The Montreal Canadiens seem to have been searching for a solution to their secondary scoring woes all season when perhaps the answer has been under their noses the whole time.
It was just one game. That sentence holds multiple meanings, especially based on everything going on with the Montreal Canadiens recently. Their recent arguably embarrassing 6-5 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Nov.
The Montreal Canadiens hosted the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday night at the Bell Centre. The team held a nice, simple ceremony to honour Karl Tremblay, the lead singer of the incredibly popular French-Canadian band Les Cowboys Fringants.
These reasons will keep you interested in the Habs in 2023-24.
MONTREAL — There’s never a dull moment when it comes to the Montreal Canadiens, but it’s not always possible to keep up to date with every breaking news story.
The Montreal Canadiens have long struggled on the powerplay, and it has created debate amongst the faithful fans, as to whether it’s the coaching or personnel that’s the issue.
Montreal Canadiens fans have had a very busy week. Between debating Logan Mailloux’s NHL readiness and trying to explain why Juraj Slafkovsky should not
With the signing of Jesse Ylonen, the Montreal Canadiens have no more players to get under contract. This gives them 26 players under contract to fill out their 23-man roster to start next season, which also creates a massive issue for general manager (GM) Kent Hughes.
Montreal Canadiens forward Jesse Ylonen undeniably earned another contract last season as a pending restricted free agent (RFA). So, it’s no surprise he eventually got one, a two-way deal that pays him $775,000 in the NHL ($200,000 in the American Hockey League).
Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes completed his summer business in a very efficient manner by signing restricted free agent Jesse Ylonen to a one-year contract extension on Monday morning.
Now that the Montreal Canadiens have signed Jesse Ylonen to a one-year, two-way contract that will pay him $775,000 next season, we have a much better idea of their projected lineup and the salary cap implications heading into 2023-24.
The Montreal Canadiens have announced that they have signed Jesse Ylonen to a one year contract extension. His new deal is a two way contract. Ylonen split last season between the Canadiens and their AHL affiliate Laval Rocket.
The Montreal Canadiens have already signed the majority of the players they planned on extending this summer, with the exception of one forward: Jesse Ylonen.
In the past trio of Montreal Canadiens training camps, it feels like we have said that Jesse Ylonen is on the cusp of cracking the roster. But it still hasn’t happened, at least not on a permanent basis.
Jesse Ylonen had one goal and one assist to lift the Montreal Canadiens past the host Philadelphia Flyers 5-2 on Friday. David Savard, Chris Tierney, Nick Suzuki and Josh Anderson each scored one goal and Mike Hoffman contributed two assists for the Canadiens, who won their second in a row.
Ylönen has put forth two strong games worth of an audition, and more Rocket players may follow in his footsteps. The Montreal Canadiens had another sloppy start against the New York Islanders on Saturday night, and while they improved as the game went on, they couldn’t erase their early difficulties.
If that was an audition for more time with the big club, Ylonen aced it. The remainder of this Montreal Canadiens season should be about development, and finding out whether some of their young players fit within what they’re trying to build.
Ylonen, 23, was picked with the 35th overall selection in 2018 and played 14 games for the Canadiens last season.
The Laval Rocket standout made a strong case for himself on Sunday night. The Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils, two of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference, provided an excellent dose of hockey on Sunday night.
That pause is certainly necessary for the Canadiens, who really don’t have an NHL team to ice right now. Quite literally, they don’t have enough players under NHL contracts to field 18 skaters and two goalies.
