The Montreal Canadiens announced that they’ve agreed to terms with free-agent center Alexandre Alain on a three-year entry-level contract (2018-19 to 2020-21).

Alain, 21, is currently in his fifth season in the QMJHL and second with the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada. He recorded 87 points (44G, 43A) in 65 games this season, good for third overall in QMJHL scoring, and second on the Armada. Alain was named the QMJHL’s Scholastic Player of the Year as well as a Second-Team All-Star.

A native of Quebec City, the 6-foot-1, 186-pound forward is currently tied for the team lead in playoff scoring with 19 points (11G, 8A) in 11 games.

Alain had previously participated in the Canadiens’ development and rookie camps on an amateur tryout basis.
