The Montreal Canadiens are bringing back Sean Monahan on a one-year, $1.985-million contract extension, the club announced Tuesday.

Monahan was limited to 25 games this past campaign due to injury. He sustained a season-ending lower-body ailment against the Vancouver Canucks on Dec. 5.

The 28-year-old collected six goals and 11 assists in 2022-23 while winning a career-high 55.1% of his faceoffs, albeit in the small sample size.

Monahan played his first season with the Canadiens after the Calgary Flames traded him to Montreal along with a conditional first-round pick in 2025 for future considerations last August.
