The Montreal Canadiens traded forward Cam Hillis to the Chicago Blackhawks for defenseman Nicolas Beaudin, the teams announced Wednesday.
Beaudin played 22 NHL games with Chicago over three seasons after the team drafted him 27th overall in 2018. He featured with the AHL's Rockford IceHogs in 2021-22, tallying 16 points in 66 games.
The 23-year-old captured gold at the 2021 World Championships with Canada. He suited up in all 10 games, scoring one assist and finishing with a -4 in the tournament.
Hillis, who Montreal drafted 66th overall in 2018, made his NHL debut last season with the Canadiens. The 22-year-old split the 2021-22 campaign between the AHL's Laval Rocket and ECHL's Trois-Rivieres Lions.
