Travis Moen and Paul Mara now playing with the Canadiens
The Montreal Canadiens are undergoing some major changes. The whole team has changed!
Moen, 27, was signed to a three-year contract. The Stewart Valley, Sask., native split time last season with Anaheim and San Jose. He scored seven goals and nine assists in 92 games.
“Travis Moen is a character player,” said Canadiens GM Bob Gainey in a statement. “He is versatile, and he plays hard. His size and style will contribute to adding physicality to our team.”
Moen began his NHL career with Chicago in 2003 and has compiled 29 goals and 27 assists in 362 games, with 487 penalty minutes. He was a clutch performer for Anaheim’s Stanley Cup team in 2007, scoring seven goals and five assists in 21 playoff games.
Earlier in the day, Montreal announced the signing of defenceman Paul Mara to a one-year contract.
The 29-year-old native of Ridgewood, N.J., scored five goals and tallied 21 points in 76 games with the New York Rangers last season.
Mara was selected in the first round (seventh overall) by the Tampa Bay Lightning at the 1997 NHL draft.
The six-foot-four defender has 239 points in 639 NHL games with the Lightning, Phoenix Coyotes, Boston Bruins and Rangers.
