The Montreal Canadiens have brought on extra help on the blue line. The Habs claimed defenceman Johnathan Kovacevic off the waiver wire from the Winnipeg Jets.
Kovacevic was on his way to the AHL affiliate Manitoba Moose after being cut from Jets camp, along with rookie Brad Lambert, on Friday.
The 25-year-old played most of last season in the AHL with the Moose scoring 11 goals and 19 assists in 62 games. With the Jets, Kovacevic played four games, picked up two penalty minutes and held a plus-1 differential.
