Canadiens' Off-Season Trade Addition Scores Insane Goal For Laval

The Montreal Canadiens acquired forward Hunter McKown from the Columbus Blue Jackets this offseason in exchange for forward Luke Tuch.

This was a simply minor move made by the Canadiens during this summer.

Although this is the case, McKown is now making some noise for the Laval Rocket.

During Laval's contest against the Cleveland Monsters on Friday, McKown scored a ridiculous highlight-reel goal. 

After having the puck stuck between his skates, McKown kicked it to himself before spinning and scoring a between-the-legs goal.

This was undoubtedly a sweet goal from McKown. It also proved to be an important insurance goal for Laval, as McKown gave them a 4-2 lead. 

McKown will now be looking to build off this great goal as Laval's season rolls on. If he does, he could cement himself as a key part of Laval's roster this campaign.

In 14 games this season with Laval so far, McKown has three goals, two assists, five points, and a plus-5 rating. This is after he had nine goals and 25 points in 63 games with the Monsters during the 2025-26 season.
