Montreal Canadiens organization release player just one week after signing him

Plouffe-Dubé is, however, an excellent young forward, and we might be hearing from him again sooner rather than later.

Daryk Plouffe-Dubé released by the Montreal Canadiens' ECHL affiliate team

We still wish him an excellent end to the season.

Dubé-Plouffe, 22 years old and from Trois-Rivières, is a 5-foot-10 and 161-pound forward.

He notably played with the Quebec Remparts (QMJHL) in 2019-20, and most recently with the Trois-Rivières Lions in 2023-24.

This season, he had recorded 17 points in 27 games with the Knoxville Ice Bears in the SPHL.

Dubé-Plouffe is also an excellent ball hockey player, playing in the National Ball Hockey League (LNHB).

Last season, he scored 40 points in 20 games, including 23 goals, as a rookie.

His release could be explained by the signing of 6-foot-4 forward Métis Roelens.

Things are moving with the Lions, at the third level of the organization.
