Canadiens open three-day development camp Tuesday in Brossard
Eight of the nine players the Canadiens selected at the NHL Draft on the weekend will be at the development camp. Russian winger Alexander Zharovsky, selected in the second round (34th overall), is the only player from this year's draft who won't be there, because he doesn't have a Canadian visa. Centre Michael Hage, selected in the first round (21st overall) at last year's draft, will be at the camp after posting 13-21-34 totals in 33 games as a freshman at the University of Michigan.

Canucks sign Pierre-Olivier Joseph to one-year contract, Pius Suter joins Blues

(AP Photo/Matt Freed) VANCOUVER — The Canucks signed defenceman Pierre-Olivier Joseph to a one-year contract worth US$775,000, while centre Pius Suter exited Vancouver to join the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday. Joseph had three assists in 47 games split between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Blues last season. The six-foot-two, 185-pound blueliner played in parts of four seasons with the Penguins from 2020 to 2024 before signing with St. Louis last off-season. The Blues then traded the 26-year-old from Laval, Que., back to Pittsburgh last December for future considerations. Drafted 23rd overall by the Arizona Coyotes in 2017, Joseph has tallied eight goals and 32 assists in 194 career games. He also won gold with Canada at the 2023 world championships. 'Pierre-Olivier has good speed and mobility and will add to our depth on the back end,' general manager Patrik Allvin said in a statement. 'His addition gives us a player with some solid NHL and pro hockey experience, he is comfortable playing both sides, and he won a world championship with Tyler Myers in 2023. We look forward to getting him here to start working with our group.' A day after Vancouver re-signed forward Brock Boeser — and extended goalie Thatcher Demko and winger Conor Garland — Suter changed teams. He heads to St. Louis on a two-year, $8.25-million contract after putting up 25 goals and 21 assists across 81 games last season, his second in Vancouver. The 29-year-old from Switzerland has also played for the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 2, 2025.

It was a fifth straight shutout for the Americans, who had previously blanked Jamaica, China and Ireland (twice). The U.S. has outscored the opposition 25-5 in 10 outings this year. The victory margin could have been bigger Wednesday. The Americans moved the ball around with ease while eighth-ranked Canada struggled to get its game going on a warm night at Audi Field. The U.S. had 66% possession, outshot Canada 22-7 (8-3 in shots on target) and had a 6-0 edge in corners. Canada led in fouls, 13-5.
