Montreal Canadiens
The Montreal Canadiens have signed forward Vinzenz Rohrer to a three-year, entry-level contract, the club announced Saturday.
The 20-year-old Austrian has spent the last two seasons with the Zurich Lions in the Swiss National League.
Rohrer had 25 points (15 goals, 10 assists) in 52 appearances in his second season with the team. He added seven points (one goal, six assists) in 16 post-season games in helping the Lions capture their second consecutive league title.
Rohrer also represented Austria at the world hockey championship, where he had six points (four goals, two assists) in eight games. Austria was eliminated in the quarterfinals by eventual runner-up Switzerland.
Before joining the Lions, Rohrer played two seasons with the Ottawa 67's in the Ontario Hockey League, amassing 97 points (44 goals, 53 assists) in 118 games from 2021 to 2023.
The Habs selected Rohrer in the third round (75th overall) of the 2022 NHL Draft.

Montreal Canadiens Montreal Canadiens forward Juraj Slafkovsky has been named to Slovakia's preliminary roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft will make his second appearance at the Olympics next February in Italy.

Here are the first 6 players on their preliminary roster. #IIHF #Olympics #NHL #NHLPA @hockeyslovakia @olympics @nhl @nhlpa — IIHF (@IIHFHockey) June 16, 2025 Slafkovsky will be joined by former Hab Tomas Tatar, along with fellow 2022 draft pick Simon Nemec. Boston Bruins forwards David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha will suit up for Czechia. Germany will feature Edmonton Oiler Leon Draisaitl and Ottawa Senator Tim Stutzle, while Roman Josi and Nico Hischier will lead the way for Switzerland. Slafkovsky suited up for his home country in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing and it no doubt helped improve his draft stock. He scored seven goals in seven games to lead Slovakia to a bronze medal. After a slow start to the 2024-25 season, the 6-foot-3, 225-pound winger posted a career-high 51 points for the Canadiens. He added two goals in five games in his NHL post-season debut. The 2026 Games will mark the first time for NHL players at the Olympics since 2014.
