The Montreal Canadiens took care of another important piece of business today. The Habs management group, led by Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton, has been recognized for its outstanding work. A day after signing Lane Hutson to an extension, Montreal signed the duo to a five-year extension. Kent Hughes took over general manager duties from Marc Bergevin back in 2022. Gorton was hired two months earlier as the president of hockey operations. The two have worked closely over the past few years to rebuild the Canadiens in short order. Under their leadership, Montreal returned to the postseason in 2025 for the first time since their 2021 Stanley Cup final run.
