Montreal Canadiens recall Karl Alzner from the Laval Rocket

The Montreal Canadiens shocked many when they chose to place Karl Alzner on waivers initially. The veteran was hoping to bounce back from a poor debut with the team last season and found himself virtually pushed out of the lineup. When others looked to be solid options on the blueline, the Habs placed Alzner and his $4.625 million cap-hit on waivers.

The 30-year-old cleared and was later assigned to Laval Rocket. He played in 10 games scoring in his first game, slowly becoming a go-to guy on the blueline. Now he may get another opportunity to make things work with the Montreal Canadiens.
