The Canadiens have recalled Xavier Ouellet from Laval (AHL).

There has been a flu bug going around the Canadiens dressing room so Ouellet could step into the lineup on Thursday. The 26-year-old defenseman has not played in the NHL this season but has 160 career games under his belt. He has scored nine goals with 15 assists (24 points) in 39 AHL games this season.
