2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kapanen had a busy 2024-25 regular season, recording 15 goals and 35 points in 36 appearances with Timra of the Swedish Hockey League as well as two assists, 16 shots, one hit and eight blocks across 18 appearances with Montreal. He added another assist in three playoff outings with the Canadiens and then supplied three goals and six points across 11 postseason outings with AHL Laval. Taken with the No. 64 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, the 22-year-old will compete for a bottom-six spot on Montreal’s Opening Night roster. He might fall short of that goal and instead begin the campaign in the minors, but even if that happens, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Kapanen spend some time at the top level this season. There is some offensive upside here, so keep an eye on his situation. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canadiens in June of 2024.
Nets third goal
Kapanen scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
ANALYSIS
Kapanen tied the game at 1-1 with his third-period tally. The 22-year-old has started quite well with three goals on seven shots over five games this season, but that's an unsustainable pace, especially for a player in a depth role. He's added five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while also seeing time on the penalty kill, showing he's trusted mostly for his defensive instincts.
