Canadiens' Mattias Norlinder: Sent down to minors

Norlinder was reassigned to AHL Laval on Tuesday.

Norlinder has appeared in six games for the Habs this season in which he has tallied one assist, four hits and two shots while averaging just 12:18 of ice time. By rejoining the Rocket, Norlinder should see significantly more ice time in the minors, possibly even on the power play, which will better serve his long-term development. In a corresponding move, Corey Schueneman was brought up from the minors.
