MONTREAL - The Canadiens recalled defenseman Victor Mete from the AHL's Laval Rocket on Monday night.

Assigned to the Rocket on November 29, Mete scored one goal and registered four points in seven games with Joel Bouchard's contingent.

The 20-year-old rearguard will accompany the Habs as they travel to Colorado on Tuesday.

Mete has played 23 games with the Canadiens so far this season, collecting four assists.

The Habs also assigned fellow blueliner Noah Juulsen to the Rocket on Monday night.

Juulsen has one goal and five points in 21 games with the Canadiens during the 2018-19 campaign.

He returned to the lineup on December 11 in Minnesota after recovering from a facial fracture sustained in a tilt against the Washington Capitals on November 19 at the Bell Centre.
