The Montreal Canadiens made another roster move on Tuesday, placing defenceman Gustav Lindstrom on waivers.
The Swedish blueliner has one goal and three assists over 14 games with the Habs this year.

Before he was acquired by the Canadiens via a trade with Detroit late in the offseason, Lindstrom had 25 points (two goals, 23 assists) in 128 games over four seasons with the Red Wings, who drafted him 38th overall back in 2017.
The reason behind Montreal sending him down is not yet known, but the team could very likely be opening a roster spot for an AHL call-up or player returning from injury.
