Disappointing news hit the Montréal Canadiens earlier today as defenceman Gustav Lindstrom has been claimed by the Anaheim Ducks on waivers.

His stint with the Canadiens was brief, as he only played 14 games with the main team, scoring three goals and one assist during this period. It will be interesting to see if Gustav Lindstrom will be able to get more opportunities with the Ducks in the coming weeks.
« There were fears that Gustav Lindstrom would be claimed off waivers if ever exposed by the Canadiens.

These fears have come true, as he is now a member of the Anaheim Ducks.

The upside is that the Canadiens now have an additional contract slot in case they want to add players at the trade deadline. » Marco D'Amico

Although it's disappointing to see him go, this move allows Kent Hughes to free up an additional spot under the NHL's 50-contract limit. The general manager can thus take advantage of this to add a player at the trade deadline or even offer a contract to a prospect in the organization with the goal of bringing them up to the team at the end of the year.
Certainly, we wish him the best of luck with his new team!
