Stefan Matteau: 3 Fun Facts

Another day, another new name to learn for Golden Knights fans.
Stefan Matteau, a forward, who was recalled from the Chicago Wolves, on Monday.
Although Matteau played in three preseason games for the Golden Knights -registering three assists-he's yet to play for Vegas in the regular season. And as someone who hasn't played in an NHL game since 2015-16, VegasGoldenKnights.com wanted to take this opportunity to get you better acquainted with this 23-year-old, who is expected to be available for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Stars.
Here are three fun facts to get to know Matteau better.

1. Was Signed As A Free Agent This Summer
Matteau, a former first-round draft pick of the New Jersey Devils, was signed to a free agent contract this past July. At the time, he was considered to be a player that could challenge for a roster spot in Vegas, or provide punch to the attack of the AHL's Chicago Wolves.
With Chicago, Matteau has four goals and one assist in 19 games. Although offense isn't what really tells the story with this player.
While other Wolves -such as Teemu Pulkkinen (19 points) and Brandon Pirri (14 points) - have more robust offensive totals, Matteau is 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds and plays a much more grinding style.
Very much a hard hat and lunch pail type player that exemplifies the Golden Knights' team attitude.

2. Has Played For The Montreal Canadiens And New Jersey Devils
Matteau has mostly played in the AHL the past few seasons, for the Wolves this season and the St. John's IceCaps (Montreal) last season.
He last played in the NHL for Montreal in 2015-16, and 44 of his 56 career games with the New Jersey Devils, making that club as a teenager.
Has three career goals and three career assists.
But as stated early, much more of a grinder, who plays a heavy style of play.
3. Has Famous Bloodlines
His father, Stephane Matteau, played more than 800 career NHL games between 1990 and 2003.

Although his father never scored more than 16 goals in an NHL season, he is legendary for scoring in double overtime of Game 7 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals to lead the New York Rangers past the New Jersey Devils, en route to that club's first Stanley Cup since 1940.
