Canadiens Complete Quiet Roster Move Following Game Against Devils
We had some action within the Montreal Canadiens organization today, even though the team has the day off.
Immediately after the Canadiens' loss to the New Jersey Devils, defenseman Marc Del Gaizo - who was on the ice last night for warm-ups - was sent down to the Laval Rocket.

With the returns of Del Gaizo, David Reinbacher, and William Trudeau, the Laval Rocket's blue line is starting to look much stronger under Pascal Vincent.
Marc Del Gaizo Once Again Loses His Spot With the Montreal Canadiens
He'll have to wait a bit longer before earning another chance in the National Hockey League.
Del Gaizo, 26, is a left-shot defenseman standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 193 pounds. He was selected in the fourth round of the 2019 NHL Draft (109th overall) by the Nashville Predators.
He has recorded 12 points in 55 career NHL games, all with Nashville (9 points in 46 games last season and 3 points in 9 games in 2023-24).
This season, with the Laval Rocket, he has one point in six games.
Speaking of defensive reinforcements - for the Canadiens this time - let's recall that Kaiden Guhle is back skating and appears to be nearing a return to action.
There's quite a bit of movement on defense within the Montreal Canadiens organization, and we'll keep you updated on the next developments.
