Major trade piece for the Canadiens placed on injured reserve
Monday will mark five weeks exactly until the National Hockey League's trade deadline for the 2021-22 season and one of the biggest names in the rumour mill has been placed on IR.
The Montreal Canadiens have announced that defenceman Ben Chiarot has been placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury and they've recalled Corey Schueneman from the Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League.
Chiarot appeared to injure himself during the second period of Saturday afternoon's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. He left the game and headed down the tunnel towards the Canadiens' dressing room, but returned a short while later.
The injury has made Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman think that trade talks could heat up surrounding the 30-year-old defenceman. As many as six teams have expressed interest in Chiarot.
"Among the interested teams, St. Louis, Carolina, Rangers, Florida, Los Angeles and Calgary," Friedman said on Hockey Night in Canada yesterday.
Chiarot, a native of Hamilton (Ontario), has appeared in 44 games on the Canadiens' blueline this season, tallying nine points (five goals, four assists), thirty-six penalty minutes and is a minus-twenty-seven.
The Canadiens have placed defenseman Ben Chiarot on the injured reserve list (lower-body).
The club also recalled defenseman Corey Schueneman from the Laval Rocket. Schueneman will dress today against the Sabres.— Canadiens Montréal (@CanadiensMTL) February 13, 2022
