We have an update regarding the famous jersey number that Ivan Demidov will wear.

The excellent Daria Tuboltseva went straight to the source, she spoke directly with Ivan Demidov’s agent and confirmed that Demidov will NOT wear number 91 with the Canadiens.

Well then.

“Demidov will not wear number 91 for the Montreal Canadiens.”

It’s surprising, considering that Oliver Kapanen had expressed that he was absolutely open to giving up his number 91, possibly to hand it over to Demidov, but oh well.. We’re really excited to see which number Demidov will ultimately choose, in any case.

In any case, I have a feeling a new number is about to become extremely popular in Montreal.

Can’t wait to see which one!

Still on the topic of young Demidov, let’s not forget this:

Another scoop from Marco D’Amico!

For obvious reasons, we’re not totally immune to surprises in this matter, but the plan is indeed to have him play against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Demidov, 19 years old, recorded 49 points in 65 games with SKA this season, including 19 goals, and finished as his team’s top scorer. In the playoffs, he registered five points in six games.

What’s your prediction for the Montreal Canadiens’ playoff run, knowing that Demidov will be added as reinforcement?
