Playing career

Harvey-Pinard entered the

2019 NHL Entry Draft and did not travel to Vancouver to attend in person. He was ultimately selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the seventh round, 201st overall.[4][5]

After being deemed to have excelled at his first Canadiens rookie camp, he was sent back to the QMJHL.

2019–20 season, and he was immediately named team captain.[3] The Saguenéens proved to be one of the best teams in the league, with Harvey-Pinard recording 34 goals and 44 assists in 62 games.[7] However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic led to the remainder of the season being cancelled, and both the President's Cup playoffs and the Memorial Cup were not held as a result.[8] At the time of the cancellation, the Saguenéens were third in the league standings.[9]

Following the completion of junior career, Harvey-Pinard was signed to a one-year contract with the

portmanteau of the city name and the surname of Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher, to whom he was frequently compared in terms of stature, work ethic, and style of play.[5]

Harvey-Pinard was recalled by the Canadiens following an outbreak of

2022–23 season, with many of the team's players sidelined by injury, he earned the opportunity to play on the Canadiens' first line with team captain Nick Suzuki.[15][5]

On July 3, 2023, Harvey-Pinard signed a two-year contract extension with the Canadiens with a value of $2.2 million.[16][17]
