It looks like David Schlemko is getting closer to making his season debut with the Montreal Canadiens. The team announced Friday afternoon that they would be sending the 30-year-old on another conditioning stint with the Laval Rocket.
Schlemko had already played a game in the AHL last month in Laval’s 5-4 overtime win against the Binghamton Devils. He told reporters after the game that he was winded early on but eventually found his footing. Schlemko’s debut finished with an assist on Daniel Carr‘s hat-trick game-winner.
We didn’t know what was going to come for him next, but the Montreal Canadiens recalled him the next day.
