Canadiens Call Up Defenseman Logan Mailloux
Mailloux to Make NHL Debut Against Red Wings
Canadiens Recall Mailloux from Laval Rocket
The Montreal Canadiens have recalled defenseman Logan Mailloux from the American Hockey League's Laval Rocket. The 21-year-old will make his NHL debut against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.
Mailloux was drafted by the Canadiens in the first round (31st overall) of the 2021 NHL Draft. He has spent the majority of this season with the Rocket, posting three goals and 15 assists in 50 games.
Mailloux is expected to play a bottom-pairing role with the Canadiens. He is a puck-moving defenseman with good skating ability and offensive instincts.
The Canadiens are hoping that Mailloux can provide them with some much-needed help on the blue line. The team has been struggling defensively all season, and they are currently last in the NHL in goals allowed.
Mailloux's NHL debut is a significant moment for the Canadiens. He is the first player drafted by the team since 2018 to make his NHL debut.
