MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens have agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension with forward Ryan Poehling. 

The 22-year-old led the AHL’s Laval Rocket with 25 points in 28 games last season. 

The first year of the contract is a two-way deal that will see Poehling earn US$750,000 in the NHL and $225,000 in the AHL, the Canadiens said Friday in a release. In the second year, he’ll receive $750,000 on a one-way NHL deal. 

Poehling was selected by the Canadiens with the 25th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
