Canadiens assign Mathieu Carle to the Hamilton Bulldogs
The news must be positive for Ryan O’Byrne as the Canadiens have returned defenseman Mathieu Carle to the Hamilton Bulldogs today. O'Byrne, who's missed 19 games with a sprained knee, was to meet with team doctors last night in hopes of getting the green light to play as early as this Friday’s stint in Washington.
While the official word on O’Byrne’s return has not been made by coach Jacques Martin, this announcement concerning Carle may as well be it.
Please read on for the Habs’ press release.
