Hillis, 22, is a 5-foot-10, 171-pound forward who joined the Canadiens’ organization as a third-round pick (66th overall) in the 2018 NHL Draft. He made his NHL debut last season with the Canadiens, skating 10:15 on New Year’s Day during a 5-2 loss to the Florida Panthers while tallying two shots on goal.
