The Swede tied for second in team scoring in the AHL playoffs with a goal and two assists in four games.

De La Rose played in nine games with the Canadiens in 2016-17, going scoreless. He was handed four minutes in penalties to go along with a minus3 rating.

The Canadiens' second-round choice (34th overall) in 2013 has played 64 career NHL games, registering four goals and three assists.
