The Montreal Canadiens have recalled defenceman Brett Lernout from the St. John’s IceCaps
The defenceman was an emergency recall, likely due to the injury to Alexei Emelin. Emelin left last night’s game with a lower body injury. The team is already without Shea Weber, and Jordie Benn and had no other defenceman on the roster. The injury to Weber is not believed to be serious. No updates have been given on Benn’s status.
Lernout will be at practice on Friday in Brossard as the Canadiens prepare for the final two games of their regular season and will likely play against the Lightning.
