The Montreal Canadiens appear set to add some serious mobility to the blue line at some point in the future.
2016 first-round draft pick Mikhail Sergachev demonstrated brilliant breakout ability in Sunday's rookie-tournament game against Ottawa, taking the puck coast to coast before dishing it off to Daniel Audette for the goal.
He was forced to leave the game with an upper-body injury after being hit by Vince Dunn.
