The Montreal Canadiens claimed forward Rem Pitlick off waivers from the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday, the team announced.

Was wondering what Habs returning to health might mean for Paquette as early as today (https://t.co/1sx0ruinQ7).
Don’t think the Pitlick claim helps him.

A 2016 third-round selection of the Nashville Predators, Pitlick has six goals and five assists for 11 points in 20 games with the Wild this season.

Over his career, the 24-year-old from Ottawa has six goals and seven assists in 31 games.
