Canadiens' Mattias Norlinder: Heads to minors

Norlinder was assigned to AHL Laval on Monday.

Norlinder notched two goals and 19 points in 67 AHL contests with the Rocket last season. The 23-year-old defender could end up seeing NHL action at some this campaign, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the majority of his time is spent in the minors.
