Montreal Canadiens: Doug Janik Recalled, Marc Denis Sent Down
The Montreal Canadiens have just recalled defenceman Doug Janik from the Hamilton Bulldogs. As mentionned on last Sunday's show, it was unclear as to whether Andrei Markov and/or Mathieu Schneider would be available for tonight's home game vs. Ottawa. I believe we may have just received a hint that at least one of them is not game ready.
Someone who is game ready is Carey Price, who has recovered from the Flu. With this return, Goalie Marc Denis has been sent back to Hamilton. It is not yet clear whether Price will be starting or in backup mode.
We'll keep you posted as the stories develop. Please read on for the Janik press release.
