The Montreal Canadiens recalled defenseman Karl Alzner from the AHL, the team announced Wednesday.
The Canadiens waived Alzner on Nov. 26, but he was assigned to the Laval Rocket after going unclaimed. His recall coincides with Montreal blue-liner David Schlemko being placed on injured reserve.
Alzner, 30, signed a five-year, $23.125-million contract with Montreal in July 2017. He's notched one assist in eight games with the Habs this season while posting two points in 10 contests in the minors.
