The Ottawa Senators will visit Montreal at 7 p.m. for their only game of the season at Centre Bell. The Montreal Canadiens have made roster moves, including loaning defenseman Justin Barron to the Laval Rocket and placing forward Mitchell Stephens on waivers. Arber Xhekaj, who was called up from Laval Rocket, will be in the Canadiens' lineup along with Johnathan Kovacevic, while Jordan Harris will sit out. Arber Xhekaj, who returned to the Canadiens, acknowledged the need to work on his game and mindset during his time in Laval. His return to the lineup was seen as part of his development process by Canadiens management.
Habs Ice Chips from @KenzieTSN - Arber Xhekaj returns to the lineup with the Canadiens tonight, a move that was communicated as "part of the process of being young." https://t.co/dyCXZWUD59 https://t.co/FBLjxMhVBF
My column on the strong message Canadiens management sent Arber Xhekaj when they sent him down to the Laval Rocket. He's back with #Habs now and will be in lineup tonight vs. Ottawa Senators #HabsIO: https://t.co/Jp1BJKEI3c
Happy to be back up with Montreal, Arber Xhekaj admitted it was tough to go down to Laval at first, but understood that he needed to work not only his game, but his mindset, which helped him improve: https://t.co/Dd5CBZITYh https://t.co/1u5EYOxmhj

Habs announce they’ve loaned defenseman Justin Barron to the Laval Rocket and placed forward Mitchell Stephens on waivers. I expect this means Tanner Pearson is soon to be activated and Arber Xhekaj might be coming up to Montreal.
The #Sens return to the ice when the team skates at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday @CentreBell. It makes its only visit of the season to Montreal at 7 p.m.
