Excitement is building in Montreal as a new chapter begins for both Zachary Bolduc and the Canadiens. After days of speculation and subtle hints, it’s now official: Bolduc will don the iconic number 76 jersey for the Habs, a move that’s already generating plenty of buzz among fans and insiders alike.

The confirmation comes on the heels of a notable trade that sent defenseman Logan Mailloux to St. Louis in exchange for Bolduc, signaling a bold shift in the team’s roster strategy.

At just 22 years old, Bolduc arrives in Montreal with impressive credentials and high expectations. Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 187 pounds, he’s coming off a season that showcased his scoring touch and late-season surge, hinting at even greater potential.

With his dynamic play and fresh energy, Bolduc is poised to make a significant impact as he steps onto the ice at the Bell Centre this fall. As anticipation grows for his debut in the red, white, and blue, all eyes will be on number 76 to see if he can become the breakout star the Canadiens have been searching for.

This was the rumor circulating since yesterday morning, but it has now been confirmed for Zachary Bolduc and the Montreal Canadiens. He will wear the iconic number 76 in Montreal.

Let’s just say his father gave us a solid clue during his interview on BPM Sports earlier, but it’s now been officially confirmed.

Zachary Bolduc Keeps Number 76 and the Montreal Canadiens Confirm the Rumor

There you have it! So now, everyone who wanted to get an official Zachary Bolduc jersey can do so.

Let’s remember that Bolduc was acquired Tuesday by Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens from the St. Louis Blues, in exchange for defenseman Logan Mailloux.

That deal nearly turned into a much bigger trade.

We’re really looking forward to seeing the new number 76 in action at the Bell Centre this fall.

Zachary Bolduc, 22 years old, is a 6-foot, 187-pound forward who tallied 36 points in 72 games last season, including 19 goals, but more impressively recorded 14 points in his last 19 games, with nine goals.

He truly seems on the verge of breaking out and becoming a solid second-line NHL forward.

More details to come in the next few minutes.
