Brandon Gignac becomes the 6th Quebecer to join Montreal's lineup
Indeed, this is what we have just learned through Marc-Olivier Beaudoin.
"Brandon Gignac will play his first game with the CH tonight. He will be the 6th Quebecer to don the Canadiens uniform this season (with Matheson, Savard, Montembeault, RHP, and Roy) out of a total of 46 Quebecers in the entire NHL.
So 13% with the Canadiens. Not bad!"

Interesting! We are extremely happy for him and can't wait to see him in action, especially since he has done so well with the Laval Rocket.
