Ylonen has only appeared in seven NHL games this season, spending most of the year with Laval, where he has 12 goals and 15 assists (27 points) in 40 games. He was demoted to make room for Christian Dvorak, who was activated from IR this morning.

Ylonen was selected in the second-round in 2018 and picked up 12 goals and 10 assists (22 points) in 53 games with the Pelicans of the Finnish Elite League. The 20-year-old winger will likely report to Laval (AHL) when he comes to North America.
