Montreal Alouettes Lestage had been drafted in the second round, tenth overall, by the Montreal Alouettes in the 2021 CFL draft.

Lestage then made his first career start on September 23, 2023, against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. However, he suffered a knee injury near the end of the season and did not play in any post-season games that year and was on the injured list when the Alouettes won the 110th Grey Cup. For his strong play in 2023, Lestage was the Alouettes' nominee for the CFL's Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman Award.
