Biography

Komisarek has begun to fulfill the great promise that the Canadiens saw in him. During
the 2005-06 season, Komisarek joined star defenseman Andrei Markov on
Montreal’s top pairing. In this spot, Komisarek’s steady and reliable defensive play
allowed Markov to concentrate more on his offensive capabilities. Recognized throughout the league as a top tier defensive defenseman, Komisarek is regularly in the top 5 in the blocked shots and hits department.
