The 31 other NHL teams have until Tuesday, at 2 p.m., to claim Stephens, otherwise he will be transferred to the Rocket.
Barron had played the Canadiens’ last three games following being left out of the previous two games once morest the Edmonton Oilers and the Avalanche. He will be on his first stay with the Rocket this season.
These maneuvers free up space in the Canadiens’ formation for the possible return to play of winger Tanner Pearson.
The 31-year-old Ontarian trained once more with his teammates Monday morning. He hasn’t played since Dec. 9 once morest the Buffalo Sabers due to an upper-body injury.
The Canadian did not immediately confirm Monday whether Pearson had received the green light to return to play.
Furthermore, forward Sean Monahan did not participate in the Canadian’s training on Monday, instead taking advantage of a day of treatments.
Monahan also skipped his turn last Tuesday, during the club’s last full practice. In the meantime, he played in all three Habs games, accumulating six assists.
