MONTREAL (Reuters) - The Montreal Canadiens acquired veteran forward Robert Lang from the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday in exchange for a second round pick in the 2010 entry draft.

The well-traveled Czech is joining his seventh NHL team. He has recorded 234 goals and 635 points in 875 regular season games over 14 seasons.

The 37-year-old centre had 21 goals and 54 points last season for the Blackhawks.

"This is a young team with a lot of talent and I'm looking forward to bringing some added experience," Lang said on the Canadiens' website ( canadiens.nhl.com ).

"This is an exciting group with plenty of skill. This is going to be great and I can't wait to get to Montreal."

Lang has also been a fixture on the Czech national team playing in four Olympics, winning gold at the 1998 Nagano Winter Games and a bronze in Turin.
