BROSSARD – Mike Condon was a standout at training camp, so much so that he earned a coveted roster spot with the Canadiens.
On Monday, general manager Marc Bergevin made the news official, naming the 25-year-old Needham, MA native as Carey Price’s backup to start the 2015-16 campaign, while electing to put Dustin Tokarski on waivers.
“It’s very exciting. I’m just happy to be here and I’m ready to get to work,” offered Condon, who posted a 23-19-6 record, a 2.44 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage in 48 games with the AHL’s Hamilton Bulldogs last season.
