Description

Samuel Blais (born June 17, 1996) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a winger for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the sixth round, 176th overall, by the St. Louis Blues in the 2014 NHL entry draft. Blais has also previously played for the New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs.

He played junior ice hockey with Trois-Rivières Estacades and Lévis Commandeurs in the Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League (QMAAA) before entering the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). He split his time between the Commandeurs and the Victoriaville Tigres before being selected 176th overall by the St. Louis Blues in the 2014 NHL entry draft. Blais spent three seasons in the QMJHL, the latter portion with the Charlottetown Islanders, before making his professional debut with the Chicago Wolves during the 2016–17 season.

Carrying his scoring touch from juniors, Blais helped the Wolves reach the postseason in his rookie year before eventually making his NHL debut on October 14, 2017. During his early years with the Blues organization, Blais alternated between the San Antonio Rampage and St. Louis consistently, resulting in hockey pundits jokingly referring to the highway between the two cities as the Sammy Blais Expressway. As a member of the Blues, Blais helped the team capture their first Stanley Cup in franchise history in 2019.
