Vejdemo scored a goal on one shot and blocked a shot in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to Tampa Bay.
Montreal's fourth line got the Canadiens on the board first, when Michael Pezzetta outworked several Lightning players behind the net and backhanded a pass to an uncovered Vejdemo, who didn't miss a wide-open net. It was the 25-year-old forward's second NHL goal and first of the season. He was called up prior to the NHL's pause amid a COVID-19 outbreak on the Habs' roster, and the Swede could stick around for the immediate future. As of this time, Montreal is scheduled to play road games Thursday against the Hurricanes and Saturday against the Panthers. Beyond that, the NHL postponed several home games, and the Habs will subsequently resume play Jan. 12 in Boston.
