The Montreal Canadiens are going from one Belleville boy to another.
After Andrew Shaw was traded to Chicago last week, the Habs have inked forward Nick Cousins to a one-year contract, worth $1 million U.S.
The 25-year-old, who was a third round round pick to Philadelphia in 2011, had 27 points in 81 games with the Arizona Coyotes last season.
He has 73 points in 259 career NHL games.
