After clearing waivers and being sent to the AHL earlier this season, Karl Alzner has been recalled by the Montreal Canadiens.
Canadiens recall defenseman Karl Alzner from the AHL’s Laval Rocket. He will be at practice tomorrow. Defenseman David Schlemko was placed on IRL (retroactive Dec. 20 - upper body injury).

The move was made necessary by an upper-body injury to David Schlemko that has placed hom on the Injured Reserve list, leaving an open spot on the left side of the defence.
