Legare was traded to the Devils from the Canadiens on Monday in a minor-league deal for Arnaud Durandeau.
Montreal previously acquired Legare before the start of the season as part of the massive, three-team trade that sent Erik Karlsson to Pittsburgh. The 23-year-old Legare hasn't been particularly productive this season with a mere nine points in 39 games for AHL Laval. Legare will likely have to wait until next season in order to make his NHL debut.

Legare was dealt to Montreal on Sunday as part of three-team trade with Pittsburgh and San Jose.
Legare, Jeff Petry, Casey DeSmith and a 2025 second-round pick were sent to the Canadiens from Pittsburgh in the trade. Former Montreal forwards Mike Hoffman and Rem Pitlick ended up in San Jose and Pittsburgh, respectively, as part of the deal that sent Erik Karlsson to the Penguins. Legare produced eight goals, 19 points and 76 PIM in 68 AHL games last season. The 22-year-old winger will probably start the 2023-24 campaign in the minors.
