2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kapanen had a busy 2024-25 regular season, recording 15 goals and 35 points in 36 appearances with Timra of the Swedish Hockey League as well as two assists, 16 shots, one hit and eight blocks across 18 appearances with Montreal. He added another assist in three playoff outings with the Canadiens and then supplied three goals and six points across 11 postseason outings with AHL Laval. Taken with the No. 64 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, the 22-year-old will compete for a bottom-six spot on Montreal’s Opening Night roster. He might fall short of that goal and instead begin the campaign in the minors, but even if that happens, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Kapanen spend some time at the top level this season. There is some offensive upside here, so keep an eye on his situation. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canadiens in June of 2024.
Scores shortie for first goal
Kapanen scored a shorthanded goal on two shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
ANALYSIS
Kapanen was limited to two assists in 18 regular-season appearances with the Canadiens in 2024-25. The 22-year-old was able to put away his first goal on a shorthanded rush Wednesday, cashing in at 5:39 of the first period. The 22-year-old won a job in training camp and is playing in a third-line role to begin the campaign, though he could ultimately move around the lineup. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on Kapanen's adjustment to the NHL ranks, as he displayed talent with 35 points in 36 outings with Timra of the SHL last season.
