The Montreal Canadiens recalled goaltender Zachary Fucale from AHL Laval on Tuesday.
The Canadiens don’t play again until Wednesday’s pre-season contest against the Toronto Maple Leafs, but were short a netminder after Charlie Lindgren hurt himself on Monday.
Fucale was taken with the 36th pick of the 2013 NHL Draft and has had great success at the junior level, winning a Memorial Cup with the Halifax Mooseheads in 2013 and a world junior gold in 2015.
The 22-year-old has had mixed results at the professional level thus far, posting a .898 save percentage in 46 ECHL games last season.
