Montreal Canadiens: Keith Kinkaid reassigned to Charlotte Checkers

To say that Keith Kinkaid’s season with the Montreal Canadiens has been disappointing is a gross understatement.

After a rocky start to his 2018-19 season with the New Jersey Devils, a trade to a Columbus Blue Jackets team whose faith was in Sergei Bobrovsky saw Kinkaid riding the bench and only the bench. Heading into the offseason as a free agent, Kinkaid was seen as a serviceable backup option for a number of teams. Just 2 years prior, the Farmingville, New York native racked a 26-10 record with a New Jersey Devils team that rode Taylor Hall and a strong defense into a surprise post season birth.
