Who was really surprised the Montreal Canadiens recalled Karl Alzner? David Schlemko‘s upper-body injury will see him out of the lineup and on injured reserve, and there isn’t a clear cut date as to when he’ll return.
Second chances aren’t easy to come by, especially in professional sports, but Alzner has an opportunity to clear up any doubt from those who assumed he was done with the organization. Given the magnitude of his contract, the Montreal Canadiens would benefit from the 30-year-old improving his play and getting back into the starting lineup on a nightly basis.
