Canadiens acquire forward Bill Lindsay and goaltender Stéphane Fiset

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Montreal (03/19/2002)
Montreal Canadiens General Manager, André Savard, announced today that the team claimed forward Bill Lindsay, off waivers from the Florida Panthers and obtained goaltender Stéphane Fiset, from the Los Angeles Kings for future considerations.
Lindsay, a 30-year old left winger, is currently in his 11th NHL season. This year with the Panthers, he played in 63 games, recording 4 goals and 7 assists for a total of 11 points (4-7-11) and 117 penalty minutes.

Quebec’s 103rd selection overall in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft, the Bigfork, Montana native played 721 NHL games with Quebec, Calgary, San Jose and Florida. Lindsay recorded 82 goals and 136 assists for a total of 218 points (82-136-218). The 6’, 195 pound forward had his best offensive season in 1995-1996 with the Panthers, recording 12 goals and 22 assists for a total of 34 points in 73 games.

Netminder Stéphane Fiset spent the 2001-2002 season with the Manchester Monarchs, the Los Angeles Kings affiliate team in the AHL. In 23 games with the Monarchs, Fiset recorded 7 wins, 7 losses and 6 ties with 3.13 GAA and a .902 save percentage.

The 6’1’’ and 215 lbs. goalkeeper was a 2nd round selection, 24th overall, by the Quebec Nordiques back in 1987. Fiset played 388 games in the NHL with Quebec, Colorado and Los Angeles posting a career record of 164 wins, 152 losses and 44 ties (164-152-44) with a 3.06 GAA. He also won a gold medal for Canada at the 1994 World Hockey Championships in Italy and was voted Best Goalie at the World Junior Championships, in Finland, back in 1990.

Bill Lindsay and Stéphane Fiset will join the Canadiens in Florida later today and will be in uniform for the game against the Panthers on Wednesday.
