MONTREAL - The Canadiens announced on Saturday that they had agreed to terms with free-agent forward Hayden Verbeek on a three-year entry-level contract (2018-19 to 2020-21).

A native of Kingston, ON, Verbeek is currently in his fifth season with the OHL's Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. He is currently taking part in the Soo's first-round playoff series against the Saginaw Spirit, and will remain with the team for the duration of their postseason run.
