The Montreal Canadiens recalled defender Justin Barron early Tuesday morning.
The right-handed defender could therefore play his first minutes of the season with the big club on Wednesday in Tampa Bay against the Lightning.
With the Laval Rocket, in the American League, Barron has collected 16 points, including seven goals, in 25 games since the start of the season.
Last year, the 21-year-old guard played five games with the Habs after being acquired from the Colorado Avalanche.
