Gignac inked a two-year contract with EHC Kloten of Switzerland's National League on Saturday, RDS.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gignac played only 15 AHL games during the 2024-25 regular season due to injuries, scoring twice and adding four assists. During the 2023-24 regular season, the 27-year-old led AHL Laval with 55 points in 61 outings and scored his first NHL goal in seven appearances with the Canadiens.

The Canadiens loaned Gignac to AHL Laval on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gignac was called up by Montreal ahead of the team's preseason finale against the Senators on Saturday, but he'll head back to the minors ahead of the regular season. The 26-year-old will likely spend most of the season in the AHL.

Gignac was summoned by the Canadiens on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gignac's promotion is likely so that he can fill a roster spot for Saturday's exhibition game versus the Senators. Gignac was previously waived Sunday and went unclaimed, so he can be reassigned to AHL Laval once the preseason contest is over.

Gignac was waived Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gignac accumulated 19 goals and 55 points over 61 regular-season contests for AHL Laval in 2023-24. He also earned one goal, seven shots on net, seven blocked shots and five hits in seven NHL outings with the Canadiens last campaign. Gignac will probably spend most of the upcoming season in the AHL.

Gignac was put on waivers Thursday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Gignac has a goal, seven shots, four hits and seven blocks in seven games with Montreal this season. He also had 14 goals and 42 points in 43 outings with AHL Laval.

Gignac scored a goal on two shots over 10:50 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Gignac pocketed his first NHL goal in his fourth career game, finishing off a two-on-zero break with defenseman Kaiden Guhle for the Canadiens' final tally. Gignac had been getting minutes on the second line and second power-play unit immediately upon his promotion from AHL Laval, but Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis has since moved him to the fourth line and off the power play. Perhaps those moves are designed to take pressure of Gignac, who was a productive scorer with the Rocket. He's expected to finish the season in Montreal, and in time, as Gignac becomes acclimated to NHL play, he could earn a larger role.

Gignac had two blocks over 14:54 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Gignac made his NHL debut after signing a two-way contract with the Canadiens on Sunday. The 26-year-old centered the second line, flanked by Josh Anderson and Joel Armia, and won six of 12 draws. Gignac was a scoring machine at AHL Laval, logging 14 goals and 28 assists over 43 games with the Rocket. The Sean Monahan trade to Winnipeg over the All-Star break opened a spot in the top six that Gignac could fill down the stretch. The fact that he's no longer on an AHL-only contract suggests he may finish out the season with the parent club.

Gignac signed a two-year, two-way contract with Montreal on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gignac has produced 14 goals and 42 points in 43 contests for AHL Laval this season. The 26-year-old forward has only one game of NHL experience, which came as a member of the Devils during the 2018-19 campaign.

Gignac was reassigned to AHL Laval on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gignac was a long shot to make the Canadiens' Opening Night roster. The 24-year-old will instead spend much of the year with Laval.

Gignac did not receive a qualifying offer from the Devils on Monday and will become a free agent.

EDGE Analysis

Gignac hasn't seen any NHL action since recording a minus-2 rating in his debut during the 2018-19 season. He spent most of last season with ECHL Jacksonville, tallying 10 goals and 27 points in 35 games. He shouldn't garner much interest at the NHL level this offseason.
