  • Canadiens' Brandon Gignac: Heading to AHL

    The Canadiens loaned Gignac to AHL Laval on Monday.

    Gignac was called up by Montreal ahead of the team's preseason finale against the Senators on Saturday, but he'll head back to the minors ahead of the regular season. The 26-year-old will likely spend most of the season in the AHL.

  • Canadiens' Brandon Gignac: Recalled Saturday

    Gignac was summoned by the Canadiens on Saturday.

    Gignac's promotion is likely so that he can fill a roster spot for Saturday's exhibition game versus the Senators. Gignac was previously waived Sunday and went unclaimed, so he can be reassigned to AHL Laval once the preseason contest is over.

  • Canadiens' Brandon Gignac: Waived Sunday

    Gignac was waived Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Gignac accumulated 19 goals and 55 points over 61 regular-season contests for AHL Laval in 2023-24. He also earned one goal, seven shots on net, seven blocked shots and five hits in seven NHL outings with the Canadiens last campaign. Gignac will probably spend most of the upcoming season in the AHL.

  • Canadiens' Brandon Gignac: On waivers

    Gignac was put on waivers Thursday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

  • Canadiens' Brandon Gignac: Scores first NHL goal

    Gignac scored a goal on two shots over 10:50 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Ducks.

    Gignac pocketed his first NHL goal in his fourth career game, finishing off a two-on-zero break with defenseman Kaiden Guhle for the Canadiens' final tally. Gignac had been getting minutes on the second line and second power-play unit immediately upon his promotion from AHL Laval, but Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis has since moved him to the fourth line and off the power play. Perhaps those moves are designed to take pressure of Gignac, who was a productive scorer with the Rocket. He's expected to finish the season in Montreal, and in time, as Gignac becomes acclimated to NHL play, he could earn a larger role.

  • Canadiens' Brandon Gignac: Makes debut

    Gignac had two blocks over 14:54 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.

    Gignac made his NHL debut after signing a two-way contract with the Canadiens on Sunday. The 26-year-old centered the second line, flanked by Josh Anderson and Joel Armia, and won six of 12 draws. Gignac was a scoring machine at AHL Laval, logging 14 goals and 28 assists over 43 games with the Rocket. The Sean Monahan trade to Winnipeg over the All-Star break opened a spot in the top six that Gignac could fill down the stretch. The fact that he's no longer on an AHL-only contract suggests he may finish out the season with the parent club.

  • Canadiens' Brandon Gignac: Inks two-year contract

    Gignac signed a two-year, two-way contract with Montreal on Sunday.

    Gignac has produced 14 goals and 42 points in 43 contests for AHL Laval this season. The 26-year-old forward has only one game of NHL experience, which came as a member of the Devils during the 2018-19 campaign.

  • Canadiens' Brandon Gignac: Sent down Tuesday

  • Brandon Gignac: Unqualified by New Jersey

    Gignac did not receive a qualifying offer from the Devils on Monday and will become a free agent.

    Gignac hasn't seen any NHL action since recording a minus-2 rating in his debut during the 2018-19 season. He spent most of last season with ECHL Jacksonville, tallying 10 goals and 27 points in 35 games. He shouldn't garner much interest at the NHL level this offseason.

  • Devils' Brandon Gignac: Waived by New Jersey

    Gignac was waived by the Devils on Monday, Corey Masisak of The Athletic reports.

    Gignac put up 36 points in 66 games with AHL Binghamton in 2018-19, but he regressed last season, totaling just 14 points in 36 games. The 2016 third-round pick will first need to bounce back at the AHL level to have a realistic chance of cracking the NHL lineup at any point in 2021.

  • Devils' Brandon Gignac: Shipped to minors

  • Devils' Brandon Gignac: Brought up to big club

    The Devils recalled Gignac from AHL Binghamton on Saturday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

  • Devils' Brandon Gignac: Returns from ACL injury

    Gignac, who tore his ACL last December, returned to the ice at the NHL Prospects Tournament on Friday.

    Gignac, who was drafted by the Devils in the third round (80th overall) of 2015, reported feeling faster and stronger after testing out his knee in Day 1 of the Prospects Tournament. The 20-year-old has yet to reach the NHL, but he collected 61 goals and 116 assists over 242 games with the Shawinigan Cataractes of the QMJHL between 2013-17, suggesting that he does at least have raw offensive skills.

  • Devils' Brandon Gignac: Inks three-year, entry-level deal

    Gignac signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Devils on Saturday.

    The Devils used their third-round (80th overall) pick in this year's draft to nab Gignac, who posted 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in 14 games with the Shawiningan Cataractes of the QMJHL this season, before earning the entry-level deal. The 19-year-old has tremendous on-ice vision and it shouldn't be long before he's worth a stash in certain dynasty leagues.
