In Thursday’s game between the Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets, Victor Mete was held out of action for the third period, as the coaching staff reduced the bench to five defencemen trying to get back in the game. At today’s practice, it was recent taxi squad call-up Otto Leskinen taking his turn next to Alexander Romanov.
