Juulsen, a native of Abbotsford, British Columbia, was Montreal’s first-round pick (No. 26 overall) in the 2015 NHL draft. He scored 30 goals and had 94 assists in 240 games with Silvertips over four seasons including 12 goals and 22 assists in 49 games last season. Juulsen also won a silver medal with Team Canada at the 2017 World Junior Championships.
He was thought to have an outside shot to crack Montreal’s roster coming out of training camp, but he suffered a broken foot that delayed his professional debut for several months.
Since making his pro debut Juulsen has a goal and five assists in 31 games with the Rocket.
The Canadiens play host to the New York Rangers Thursday at 4:30 p.m. Pacific time, so it’s possible Juulsen could play as soon as then.
