Kapanen was loaned to SHL club Timra IK on Wednesday.
Kapanen has already appeared in 12 games for the Canadiens this season, burning the first year of his entry-level contract even with the move overseas. In those appearances, the 21-year-old center notched two assists, 13 shots and one hit while averaging 11:38 of ice time. Once the SHL season wraps up, Kapanen could rejoin Montreal for the final games of the campaign.

Canadiens' Oliver Kapanen: Picks up power-play helper
Rotowire
Kapanen logged a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames.
This was Kapanen's first point since he had an assist in his season debut Oct. 10 versus the Bruins. The 21-year-old saw a season-low 7:54 of ice time Tuesday, which could be a bad sign for his safety in the lineup. He has two helpers, 13 shots on net, six blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 12 appearances in a bottom-six role.
