Montreal Canadiens: An announcement has just been made concerning Sean Farrell and the verdict is in

The Montreal Canadiens made an announcement regarding their new forward, Sean Farrell, freshly signed from Harvard University.

Indeed, we already know the number that the 21 year old American will wear in the Tricolore's uniform, #57.

In fact, the verdict has just come down on him, in connection with tonight's game against the Buffalo Sabres.

Farrell was not present on the ice at the CH practice. He will not play his first professional game tonight.

He will probably need to acclimatize a bit with the team before we can see him make his debut in Montreal.

Remember that Martin St-Louis' team has four games to play this week, so there is a good chance that he will play in the next few days.
