Just a few days after Drummondville's goaltender Riley Mercer signed with the AHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild, the Montreal Canadiens' system have plucked a player of their own from the QMJHL.

Drummondville Voltigeurs goaltender Riley Mercer has just wrapped up an impressive QMJHL career.

Forward Egor Goriunov has signed with the Laval Rocket of the AHL, starting in 2025/26.

Goriunov, 21, had 69 points (33+36) across 54 games between the Charlottetown Islanders and the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada as an overager this season.

Throughout his four year QMJHL career, the Russian winger tallied 182 points (97+85) across 247 games between the Armada, the Islanders and firstly the Victoriaville Tigres -- where he spent his first three seasons.

While many OHL, WHL and QMJHL overagers have committed to NCAA programs down south, the University of Moncton was able to snipe a commitment from one of Baie-Comeau's star players.
