Chris Wideman is an American professional ice hockey defenseman who is currently playing for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the fourth round, 100th overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
As well as the Senators, Wideman briefly played for the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers. Following his success in the KHL, Wideman returned to the NHL for the 2021–22 season after signing a one-year, $750,000 contract with the Montreal Canadiens.
Following the end of the season, the Canadiens re-signed Wideman to a two-year, $1.525 million contract.
Wideman had used jersey number 20 for his first season with the Canadiens, but he agree to cede the number to the team’s 2022 first-overall draft pick Juraj Slafkovský in exchange for an autographed jersey as a keepsake for his newborn son.
