Montreal Canadiens recall defenseman David Reinbacher

Montreal Canadiens David Reinbacher NHL Laval Rocket Mike Matheson

The Montreal Canadiens have recalled defenseman David Reinbacher from the AHL’s Laval Rocket. The 21-year-old Austrian, who was selected fifth overall in the 2023 NHL Draft, joins the active roster ahead of a game against the Washington Capitals.

The move addresses defensive depth concerns following a lower-body injury to veteran defenseman Mike Matheson. Matheson, who is currently listed as day-to-day, missed the team’s recent shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres.

Reinbacher previously appeared in two NHL games last season and has started the current campaign with two assists in four games for Laval.
