All the latest Habs news, recent Montreal Canadiens stories, as well as information from around the National Hockey League.

According to Renaud Lavoie, Montreal Canadiens prospect Logan Mailloux has been cleared to play in the NHL. The case was under review by the NHL due to Mailloux’s charge for offensive photography and defamation, which took place in Sweden following Mailloux’s decision to share an explicit and non-consensual picture. Given that the Canadiens already have a bevy of talented, young defencemen in place, there are decent odds Mailloux ends up in the AHL with the Laval Rocket.
