The Montreal Canadiens drafted Vinzenz Rohrer in the third round of the 2022 NHL Draft. He was a bit of an unknown commodity at the time, but had an impressive season with the Ottawa 67’s.
The Austrian native scored 19 goals and 49 points in 54 games, and added another 12 points in 11 playoff games for Ottawa last season. He was scoring at an even higher rate, with 32 points in his first 26 games of the OHL season.
Rohrer was then knocked out by a questionable hit that sent him cartwheeling through the air before slamming his head on the ice.
