The Finnish American forward spent most of his season in the AHL with Laval Rocket, where he netted 11 goals and 32 points over 39 games.
Montreal selected Ylonen with the 35th overall pick during the second round of the 2018 Draft. He was part of Finland’s gold-winning team at the 2019 World Juniors.
Since making his AHL debut in the 2020-2021 season, he has tallied 34 goals and 51 assists in 120 games with Laval.
Among Montreal’s players who needed new contracts this offseason, Ylonen was the last to be without one.
