The Montreal Canadiens have recalled defenseman Logan Mailello from the American Hockey League (AHL) Laval Rocket.
The news was announced on Monday evening.
The 21-year-old has yet to play a game at the National Hockey League (NHL) level.
He appeared in 70 games in the AHL this season.
Despite opting out of the 2021 NHL draft, Mailloux was selected 31st overall by Montreal after being charged and fined in Sweden for distributing an intimate photo of a woman without her consent.
The incident occurred while Mailloux was on loan to Sweden’s SK Lejon during the Ontario Hockey League’s (OHL) hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
He was suspended by the OHL in early September 2021 before being reinstated in January 2022.
Mailello met with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman in the summer of 2023 and was cleared to play in both the NHL and AHL.
Mailloux had 14 goals and 33 assists for 47 points in 70 appearances this year for Laval.
He spent his previous two seasons in the OHL with the London Knights.
