We are just a few days away from the Montreal Canadiens’ training camp, and already, some interesting battles are taking shape for Martin St-Louis and his men.
Several intriguing battles are indeed emerging for roster spots on the big club.
Among the players expected to fight for a place with the Canadiens is defenseman Adam Engstrom.
He played his first season in North America in 2024-2025, and it’s fair to say he made a very good impression.
In 66 games with the Laval Rocket, the Swedish blueliner collected five goals and 22 assists for a total of 27 points, and a well-known journalist believes he will be one to watch at rookie camp.
As reported by the site DansLesCoulisses, Renaud Lavoie mentioned on BPM Sports that Engstrom had an excellent second half of the season and that the Canadiens’ management appreciates him greatly.

This was also confirmed by Anthony Marcotte, who saw him play in practically every Rocket game last year while doing the play-by-play.
He also recalled how solid the defenseman had been last year during the AHL playoffs.
We should expect that there will be an available spot as the sixth defenseman when the Canadiens’ main camp opens, but players like Arber Xhekaj, Jayden Struble, and David Reinbacher probably have a slight lead over Engstrom at this point.
It will be up to him to prove to the entire organization that he has what it takes to play in the National Hockey League.
