Samuel Blais is placed on waivers

There's action at the Canadiens this afternoon.

And no… it's not because Kent Hughes went out and got a guy who can fill the sixth defenseman spot in Montreal.

Instead, it involves Samuel Blais, as the Canadiens have placed the Québécois on waivers. Keep in mind that this isn't the first time this season he's found himself in this situation.
