In the last few hours, a transaction has been announced within the Montreal Canadiens organization. Indeed, the team affiliated with the Habs in the ECHL, the Trois-Rivières Lions, has acquired the rights to forward Jakov Novak.
Some Montreal fans might recognize the name, as he participated in this year's training camp. Aged 24, the 6'3" and 215-pound forward played the last season with Northeastern University in the NCAA, collecting a total of 12 points in 35 games.
He also joined the Allen Americans in the ECHL towards the end of the last campaign, instantly becoming a leading forward within the lineup. In just 14 games, Novak scored seven times and added five assists, thus achieving a total of 12 points.
