MONTREAL – Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin announced on Thursday the acquisition of right winger Max Friberg from the Anaheim Ducks, in return for goaltender Dustin Tokarski . He will join the IceCaps in St. John’s.

Friberg, 23, has served two penalty minutes in six career NHL games with the Ducks. He has added 17 points (5 goals, 12 assists) in 25 games with the AHL’s San Diego Gulls thus far this season.
