Jake Evans is ready to turn pro.
The Notre Dame captain signed with the Montreal Canadiens on Monday, agreeing to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Evans has spent the past four years with Notre Dame. In 40 games this season, he tallied 13 goals and 33 assists. The Toronto native captained Notre Dame to the championship game of this year's Frozen Four before falling to Minnesota Duluth.
The Canadiens selected Evans in the seventh round of the 2014 draft.
