Wideman joined the team for the 2021-22 season as a free agent after a successful season with Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in the KHL, where he led the league in scoring among defenders and was voted the league’s best defenceman. In 64 games with the Canadiens, Wideman tallied four goals and 23 assists, tying him with Jeff Petry for the team’s leading point-getter among defenceman.
