Belzile is back!
33-year-old Alex Belzile is a 6-foot, 205-pound Quebec-born forward who has recorded 15 points in 44 career NHL games.
This season, he tallied 56 points in 66 games, including 19 goals, in the American Hockey League with the New York Rangers' affiliate.
27-year-old Nathan Clurman is a 6-foot-2, 193-pound right-handed defenseman who was drafted by the Colorado Avalanche in 2016.
He recorded 11 points in 31 games this season in the AHL with the Pittsburgh Penguins' affiliate.
We'd like to welcome both players to the Canadiens organization-and welcome home Alex Belzile.
It will be interesting to see what role he plays this fall, but one thing is certain, a solid veteran is joining the organization.
More details to follow.
