Farrell scored twice and added an assist in AHL Laval's 7-2 win over Belleville on Saturday.
Farrell doubled his goal count on the year with his pair of tallies. He's found success as a playmaker so far with four goals and 11 assists over 18 games for the Rocket. The 24-year-old forward probably won't be first in line for a call-up should the Canadiens need more depth, but he's set to take a step up from last year's 20-goal, 44-point effort in 67 regular-season games.

Farrell has been placed on waivers by the Canadiens for the purpose of assigning him to AHL Laval, the team announced Sunday.

That will continue into at least the start of this campaign with his assignment to the minors. The 23-year-old had a good year with Laval in 2024-25, supplying 20 goals and 24 assists in 67 regular-season appearances.

Canadiens' Sean Farrell: Scores first NHL goal
Rotowire
Farrell scored his first career goal in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
Farrell opened the scoring 1:23 minutes into the first period, firing a puck toward the net that snuck by Alex Lyon. It's Farrell's first NHL goal in just his second game. Farrell, a fourth-round pick in 2020 and one of the Canadiens' top prospects, logged 20 goals and 53 points in 34 NCAA games this season with Harvard. The 21-year-old winger should get an extended look down the stretch as Montreal looks to the future.
