About Max Pacioretty

Maximillian Kolenda Pacioretty (born November 20, 1988) is an American former professional ice hockey left winger. Pacioretty was drafted in the first round, 22nd overall, in the 2007 NHL entry draft by the Montreal Canadiens; he would go on to captain them for his last three seasons with Montreal and score 30 or more goals in five of the seasons with Montreal. He was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights before the 2018–19 NHL season; although the move revitalized his career, he was dealt to the Carolina Hurricanes four seasons later due to the Golden Knights' salary cap complications. After only five games in Carolina, he would later play single seasons for the Washington Capitals and Toronto Maple Leafs before retiring in 2025.
