Sergei Kostitsyn Sent to Hamilton Bulldogs - Gregory Stewart Called Up and KOVALEV PONDERING HIS FUTURE
Given his play of late, it comes as no surprise to this writer that Sergei Kostitsyn has been sent down to Hamilton to fine tune his game. Replacing him is feisty rookie Gregory Stewart.
According to the Habs press release:
The Montreal Canadiens announced today that forward Gregory Stewart has been recalled from the Hamilton Bulldogs of the American Hockey League. The team also announced that forward Sergei Kostitsyn has been assigned to the Hamilton Bulldogs. Stewart will join the club in Washington.
Stewart, 22, registered one point (1 assist), posted a plus-1 rating and averaged 9:38 of ice time in three games this season with the Canadiens. The left-winger, who started the season in Hamilton, is sixth in the AHL this season with 170 penalty minutes. The Kitchener, Ontario, native amassed 17 points (7 goals, 10 assists) with a plus-8 rating in 51 games with the Bulldogs in 2008-09.
This season with the Canadiens, Sergei Kostitsyn, 21, scored 23 points (8 goals, 15 assists) and served 64 penalty minutes in 52 contests.
This news coming as it has just been learned that Alex Kovalev, who missed today's practise will also not be playing with the team for an undetermined amount of time...
According to general manager Bob Gainey, Kovalev is not sick, not injured and not suspended. He is not traded, nor has he asked to be traded, although Gainey does not rule out that a trade could be an option. Gainey simply stated that the way Kovalev is playing as of late, he can not presently help the team.
