Otto Leskinen is a player that has been on the Montreal Canadiens radar for a while, starting with Development Camp in 2019 as an invite. After his season ended, he quickly signed a contract with the Montreal Canadiens.
From development and rookie camps, it became clear that Leskinen would have a solid spot in Laval. Originally considered an outsider on a team with a lot of depth, Leskinen earned a top-four spot that he kept most of the year.
Over the season, Leskinen scored two goals and added 20 assists in 52 games with the Rocket.
