Canadiens' Sammy Blais: Returning to NHL

Blais has been recalled from AHL Laval by the Canadiens, the team announced Sunday.

Blais is back in the NHL for the first time since returning to the Canadiens via waivers from Toronto. The 29-year-old appeared in eight games this season with the Maple Leafs, registering a goal and two assists. Blais will likely draw into the lineup right away given the multitude of injuries to the Montreal forward group.
