Habs call up Reinbacher

The Montreal Canadiens have recalled defenceman David Reinbacher from the Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League for Wednesday's game against the Washington Capitals, team announced.

The fifth overall pick in 2023 opened the season in the AHL, recording two assists in four games.

Montreal (3-2-1) have won back-to-back contests by way of a shootout, and finish off the second half of a back-to-back in the American capital on Wednesday before returning home Saturday to take on the Buffalo Sabres.
