WASHINGTON — The Montreal Canadiens recalled defenceman David Reinbacher from the American Hockey League’s Laval Rocket on Wednesday as a precaution ahead of their game against the Washington Capitals.
The move comes after veteran blueliner Mike Matheson suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday’s meeting with the Detroit Red Wings.
Matheson missed Tuesday’s 4-3 shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres and is listed as day-to-day.
Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis said Reinbacher — selected fifth overall by Montreal in the 2023 NHL draft — will not be in the lineup against Washington.
