MONTREAL – Max Friberg is looking forward to a fresh start in the Canadiens organization.
Acquired on Thursday in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks, the 23-year-old right-winger will travel from Southern California to Newfoundland on Friday to join the St. John’s IceCaps as they begin a six-game homestand at Mile One Centre. Friberg had been plying his trade with the Ducks’ AHL affiliate – the San Diego Gulls – since the start of the year, putting up five goals and 17 points in 25 games. That ranked him fifth on the team in scoring. He also played five games with Bruce Boudreau’s contingent back in November.
