Jordan Weal News

Weal is back in the Canadiens lineup on Saturday.

Weal was supposed to be a healthy scratch this afternoon but Joel Armia is a late-scratch and Weal will be back in on the third-line. He has one goal on 15 shots and one assist in six games this season.

The Canadiens have acquired Jordan Weal from the Coyotes for Michael Chaput.

Weal started the season in Philadelphia before joining the Coyotes mid-season. Overall, the 26-year-old has four goals and seven assists (11 points) in 47 games with the two teams. Weal will likely serve as a depth piece with the Canadiens and should draw onto the fourth-line.

The Flyers re-signed Jordan Weal to a two-year deal worth $3.5M (1.75M AAV).

Weal was reportedly highly sought after after becoming an unrestricted free agent, but decided to return to the Flyers. Last season he had just 12 pints (8G / 4A) in 23 games with the Flyers, but dominated the AHL scoring 15 goals with 32 assists (47 points) in 43 games with Lehigh Valley. Weal is fully expected to be a full-time NHLer in 2017-18.
