The Montreal Canadiens have acquired forward Sasha Pastujov from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Sean Farrell, according to a report from CanadiensMTL on Twitter.
Sasha Pastujov, 23, is a right-winger who spent the 2025-26 season in the AHL with the San Diego Gulls, where he recorded 21 goals and 36 assists for 57 points in 71 games. Pastujov has yet to make an appearance in the NHL regular season, but his strong performance in the minors suggests he could be a prospect with potential for the Canadiens moving forward.
Sean Farrell, 24, is a center who played 6 games with the Ducks during the 2022-23 season, tallying 1 goal and a minus-2 rating. Farrell also had a solid season in the AHL with the Laval Rocket, scoring 17 goals and recording 36 assists for 53 points in 72 games during the 2025-26 season.
The Canadiens are looking to bolster their forward depth with the addition of Pastujov, who could provide scoring potential from the wing. With the trade, the Ducks are acquiring a player with AHL experience who could contribute to their system moving forward.
