Added to IR The Canadiens retroactively placed Xhekaj (upper body) on injured reserve. Impact The designation is retroactive to Xhekaj's last game Nov. 16 against Vegas, so he can be activated at any time. The blueliner did not travel with the team on its road trip, which is currently in California before finishing next Wednesday in Columbus. In a corresponding move, Montreal recalled Joel Armia from AHL Laval, and he will join the team for Saturday afternoon's tilt against the Kings.
