3 years agoMontreal Canadiens defenseman Mattias Norlinder will log his first NHL minutes in Thursday's home game against Pittsburgh. He's set to join David Savard on the second defensive pairing and will also see time on the second power-play unit. The 21-year-old has gone pointless in three AHL appearances this season, but he's been described as a very good skater and puck-mover, and his presence could provide a nice boost for Montreal's lackluster offense. The Canadiens selected the Swedish rearguard in the third round of the 2019 draft.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
