Del Gaizo was loaned to AHL Laval on Tuesday.
Del Gaizo was recalled from the minors Monday, so his stint with the big club didn't last long. The 2019 fourth-round pick has yet to appear in a game with the Canadiens this season. It's possible he's promoted again soon due to the team now having only six healthy blueliners on the roster, unless Montreal is interested in recalling someone else to fill a depth role.

Canadiens' Marc Del Gaizo: Brought up from minors
Rotowire
Del Gaizo was elevated from AHL Laval on Monday.
Del Gaizo will likely serve as an emergency depth option for the Canadiens' trip to Columbus on Monday, but he is unlikely to get into the lineup ahead of Arber Xhekaj or Alexandre Carrier. Last season, the 26-year-old Del Gaizo saw action in 46 regular-season games with the Predators. It seems unlikely the blueliner will see that much playing time this year, given the Habs' blue line depth.

Canadiens' Marc Del Gaizo: Sent down to minors
Rotowire
Del Gaizo was reassigned to AHL Laval on Friday.
Del Gaizo hasn't appeared in an NHL game this season, so his return to the minors shouldn't come as a surprise. Considering the 26-year-old blueliner has managed a lone helper in six minor-league tilts with the Rocket, he figures to serve primarily as an emergency depth option for the organization moving forward.

Canadiens' Marc Del Gaizo: Elevated from minors
Rotowire
Del Gazio was promoted from AHL Laval on Wednesday.
Del Gazio's elevation to the NHL roster will provide the team with an emergency blueliner should the need arise in the lead-up to Thursday's clash with the Devils. The 26-year-old defenseman hasn't offered much offensively in the minors, recording just one point in six games with the Rocket. As such, it wouldn't come as a surprise to see Del Gazio sitting in the press box as a healthy scratch against New Jersey.

Canadiens' Marc Del Gaizo: Joining NHL squad
Rotowire
Del Gaizo was promoted from AHL Laval on Tuesday.
Del Gazio's elevation to the NHL roster likely means the Habs will be placing Kaiden Guhle (lower body) on injured reserve, though they haven't officially announced the move yet. If Del Gaizo gets into a game during the Habs' four-game road trip, it will likely come at the expense of Arber Xhekaj.

Del Gaizo logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.

Predators' Marc Del Gaizo: Lands on waivers
Rotowire
Del Gaizo was placed on waivers by the Predators on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Del Gaizo appeared in the Predators' last four games since the team was dealing with several injuries, and he racked up nine hits and five blocked shots while averaging 17:10 of ice time. Jeremy Lauzon (lower body), Alexandre Carrier (upper body) and Roman Josi (lower body) have all appeared to make progress in their recovery recently, so Del Gaizo landing on waivers could signal that at least one of them will be back in action for Thursday's home game against Pittsburgh.

Predators' Marc Del Gaizo: Serving as injury fill-in
Rotowire
Del Gaizo played for a third straight game Saturday in a 5-2 loss to the Avalanche, logging three blocked shots.
He was scratched for six consecutive contests between Nov. 27 and Dec. 7, but injuries to Roman Josi (lower body), Alexandre Carrier (upper body) and Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) have allowed Del Gaizo to get back in the lineup. Del Gaizo has just three assists to go with 27 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and 29 hits through 19 outings. He may be at risk of losing his place in the lineup once the Predators' defense is healthier.

Predators' Marc Del Gaizo: Records helper
Rotowire
Del Gaizo registered an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.
Del Gaizo looks to have job security now after the Predators lost Dante Fabbro on waivers to the Blue Jackets. The 25-year-old Del Gaizo is up to three assists, 15 shots on net, 16 hits, 12 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating through 10 contests. He should be able to add a little sandpaper in a third-pairing role, though it looks like he could also be a decent depth contributor on offense.

Predators' Marc Del Gaizo: Elevated from minors
Rotowire
Del Gaizo was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.
Del Gaizo has logged three NHL games this season in which he garnered eight shots, four PIM and two hits while averaging 14:23 of ice time. The decision to bring up Del Gaizo from the minors could be just to give the team some emergency coverage ahead of Thursday's matchup with Edmonton -- though it could also point to a potential injury on the blue line. If Del Gaizo does get into a game, it will likely be in limited action on the Preds' third pairing.
