Al Montoya played 30 minutes in a game for the Edmonton Oilers for a seventh time this season, meaning the condition on the fifth-round pick used to acquire him has been met, and the Montreal Canadiens will now obtain Edmonton’s fourth-round selection.
The pick gives them two picks in the fourth round, with the potential for another. The Canadiens can reclaim their own fourth-round pick from the Los Angeles Kings should L.A. make the playoffs; a condition on the pick the team exchanged for Torrey Mitchell earlier in the season.
