Over the past few hours, the Montreal Canadiens have confirmed the news that we just reported last night.
"The Canadiens have removed defenseman Jordan Harris from the injured list and assigned forward Emil Heineman to the Laval Rocket.
- Montreal Canadiens"
So, it will have been a short trip for young Heineman, who will be able to help the farm team on offense.
Heineman, 22 years old, has 4 points in 7 games this season in the AHL and 0 points in 2 games in the NHL. The 2nd round pick was acquired in a trade with the Calgary Flames almost two years ago.
This solves the short-term problem, but a decision is still imminent for Kent Hughes on defense.
A young Canadiens defenseman sent to waivers?
