Hockey Players who Played for Knights and Canadiens
My guess is you’ve searched this page out because you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
If I’m right, that also means that today’s grid is asking for players who have played for both the Vegas Golden Knights and the Montreal Canadiens.
And, I’m also guessing that you’re a little stuck on this particular square and you’re looking for a little help to keep your grid immaculate. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, I’m here to help.
I’ve already done the research and have put together a list of well-known stars along with some more “under-the-radar” players that could land you a low rarity score.
Max Pacioretty
Max Pacioretty is an American-born left winger currently playing for the Washington Capitals in the NHL. Drafted in the first round, 22nd overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens, Pacioretty emerged as a key player for the team.
He captained the Canadiens for his last three seasons with them and scored 30 or more goals in five seasons. He was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights before the 2018–19 NHL season, revitalizing his career before being dealt to the Carolina Hurricanes four seasons later due to salary cap complications.
During the 2011–12 season, Pacioretty led the Canadiens in points, finishing with a career-high 33 goals and 32 assists in 79 games, and won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.
Tomas Tatar
Tomas Tatar, a Slovak left winger, currently plays for the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL. He was drafted 60th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Tatar began his North American career with the Red Wings’ AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, and made his NHL debut in December 2010.
Tatar’s NHL career includes stints with several teams. After his initial seasons with the Red Wings, where he emerged as a key player and twice earned the title of NHL’s Second Star of the Week, he signed a four-year contract with them in 2017.
However, Tatar was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights in 2018, followed by a move to Montreal before the 2018–19 season. With the Canadiens, he set a career-high in points during the 2019–20 season. In 2021, he signed with the New Jersey Devils, contributing to their first playoff series win since 2012. In 2023, Tatar joined the Colorado Avalanche.
