MONTREAL — Travis Moen is on the move again.
The Montreal Canadiens added some toughness by signing the hard-hitting forward to a three-year contract on Friday.
Moen started last season in Anaheim but was traded to San Jose where he scored three goals and two assists in 19 games.
He had four goals, seven assists and 77 penalty minutes with the Ducks prior to the trade.
"Travis Moen is a character player," said Canadiens GM Bob Gainey in a statement. "He is versatile, and he plays hard. His size and style will contribute to adding physicality to our team."
The 6-2, 215-pound left-winger blocked 78 shots and delivered 171 hits in 82 games last year.
In five NHL seasons, the 27-year-old amassed 56 points (29 goals, 27 assists) and served 487 penalty minutes with the Chicago Blackhawks, Anaheim and San Jose.
