The Montreal Canadiens have placed Alex Barré-Boulet on waivers, with the aim of assigning him to the AHL’s Laval Rocket.
Les Canadiens ont placé le nom de l'attaquant Alex Barré-Boulet au ballottage dans le but de le céder au Rocket de Laval.
The Canadiens have placed forward Alex Barré-Boulet on waivers for the purpose of a loan to the Laval Rocket.
The forward will be available to the other 31 teams to claim within the next 24 and be added to their NHL roster.
Barré-Boulet had played the first two games of the season, averaging about 10 minutes per game versus the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins. In that time he was a -3 with no shots on goal. Should he clear, he will add another quality forward option to a Rocket team that has looked strong through two AHL contests.
This move leaves the Canadiens’ active roster at 22 players, so we’ll see if there’s a corresponding transaction to follow. It should be noted that Michael Pezzetta has yet to play a game for the Canadiens this season as he serves as the 14th forward, and the goal could simply to be to have fewer options that need to rotate in and out of the lineup each night.
