Rohrer signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Montreal on Saturday.
Rohrer notched 15 goals and 25 points across 52 regular-season contests with the ZSC Lions of Switzerland's National League in 2024-25 before adding one goal and six assists in 16 playoff appearances. He is signed with the Swiss club through the 2027-28 campaign and could continue playing there next season. The Canadiens chose the 20-year-old forward in the third round (75th overall) of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
Canadiens' Gustav Lindstrom: Heading back to Sweden
Rotowire
Lindstrom signed a five-year contract with Djurgardens IF of the SHL on Thursday, per RDS.ca.
Lindstrom didn't make any appearances in the NHL in 2024-25, earning 11 points in 42 games with AHL Laval instead. The long-term nature of this contract suggests the 26-year-old defenseman is done pursuing playing opportunities in North America and will ply his trade in his native country for the rest of his career.
Primeau was the backup goalie behind Jakub Dobes after Sam Montembeault (groin) sustained an injury in Game 3 versus Washington. Despite a 20-save shutout by Jacob Fowler in a 4-0 win over AHL Cleveland on Friday, Primeau could return to the crease in the Calder Cup Playoffs. The 25-year-old Primeau was sensational with Laval in the regular season, going 21-2-2 with a 1.96 GAA and a .927 save percentage across 26 appearances.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Suffered groin tear
Rotowire
Montembeault missed the last two playoff games after sustaining a groin tear, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports Friday.
Given this update, Montembeault was likely facing an extended stint on the shelf even if the Habs had managed to advance to the next round. During the regular season, the 28-year-old backstop went 31-24-7 with a career-best 2.82 GAA, four shutouts and a .901 save percentage. Montembeault will likely see a similar heavy usage in 2025-26 as the Canadiens' No. 1 netminder.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Suffered broken finger
Rotowire
Laine missed the last three games of Montreal's first-round series versus Washington due to a broken finger, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports Friday.
Laine suffered the injury in Game 2 and labored the remainder of the contest before sitting out the rest of the series. Laine had 20 goals and 13 assists in 52 regular-season games, including 15 goals on the power play. Laine is expected to be fully recovered before the start of training camp in September.

Canadiens' Oliver Kapanen: Grabs first playoff helper
Rotowire
Kapanen notched an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Capitals in Game 5.
Kapanen played in the last three playoff games after Patrik Laine (upper body) ended the postseason on the shelf. The 21-year-old Kapanen had just two assists in 18 regular-season outings. He'll enter training camp with a chance to win a job on the Opening Night roster for 2025-26, but it wouldn't be surprising if Kapanen needed some time with AHL Laval to hone his skills after spending the bulk of 2024-25 with Timra IK of the SHL.

Canadiens' Emil Heineman: Scores lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Heineman scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Capitals in Game 5.
Heineman's tally early in the third period spared the Canadiens a shutout loss, but it didn't spark a rally. The 23-year-old had 18 points, 64 shots on net, 173 hits and a minus-6 rating over 62 regular-season outings before adding one goal, four shots, 16 hits and four blocked shots over five playoff games. Heineman is a restricted free agent this summer and will be in the mix for a bottom-six role heading into 2025-26.
Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Falls to Caps to end season
Rotowire
Dobes stopped 24 of 27 shots Wednesday in the Canadiens' 4-1 loss to the Capitals in Game 5 of their first-round series, with Washington's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
Two of the pucks that beat Dobes came on Washington power plays, and the Habs' offense didn't even get on the board until the third period. Sam Montembeault (lower body) has solidified his spot at the top of the depth chart for Montreal, but Dobes held his own in his first taste of the NHL, going 7-4-3 during 16 regular-season outings with a 2.74 GAA and .909 save percentage. The 23-year-old Dobes should head into 2025-26 as the Canadiens' No. 2 netminder.

Canadiens' David Savard: Retirement official
Rotowire

The defenseman previously announced his retirement would come at the end of Montreal's playoff run. The 34-year-old accumulated 54 goals and 188 assists in the regular season as well as 17 points in the playoffs during his career.

Canadiens' Alexandre Carrier: On track to play
Rotowire
Carrier (undisclosed) took warmups in his usual top-pairing spot, indicating he's expected to play in Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Capitals, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.
Carrier was hurt in Sunday's Game 4, but it appears the two days off between games gave him enough time to be ready. He didn't practice Tuesday, but he was labeled a game-time decision Wednesday and looked fine in warmups. Carrier has a goal and an assist over the first four postseason contests.
