In three seasons with the team, the 6-foot-3, 211-pound defenseman has totaled 24 points (six goals, 18 assists) and 46 penalty minutes in 130 regular-season games. He has also appeared in 17 postseason games as a Blue.
Overall, the Montreal, Quebec native has dressed in 699 regular-season games and collected 160 points (48 goals, 112 assists) and 273 penalty minutes across his 12-year NHL career.
