The Montreal Canadiens announced today that forward Charles Hudon and defenceman Mark Barberio will be sent down. The pair have played most of the season with the St. John’s Ice Caps, and will return to the American Hockey League team now.
Hudon is coming off an injury that sidelined him for two weeks. Hudon was hit with a puck in practice and fractured his sternum. He is presumably healthy now, or else there would be no need to send him down to the minor leagues.
In three games this season with the Canadiens, Hudon scored a pair of assists.
