Canadiens assign Gregory Stewart to Hamilton Bulldogs
After playing a grand total of 2:14 in his first start in ages against the Carolina Hurricanes, Gregory Stewart has been sent down to the Hamilton Bulldogs.
Stewart, who was a healthy scratch more times than not and when he did get the call, was not much of a factor, either due to lack of playing time, or intensity is being sent down for what the Canadiens call a two week conditioning stint.
The Bulldogs, with injury and call-up troubles of their own, will surely welcome Stewart back with open arms.
Please read on for the Canadiens’ press release.
Montreal (November 19, 2009) – The Montreal Canadiens announced today that left winger Gregory Stewart has been assigned to the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs for conditioning purposes.
