The Canadiens recalled Nathan Beaulieu from Hamilton (AHL) and he will play Monday.

Beaulieu, 21, started the season with the Habs but failed to record a point while posting a minus-3 rating in four games. He returns to the Habs tonight in Edmonton and will replace Jarred Tinordi on the blueline. He had one assist and nine PIMS in two games with Hamilton.

Beaulieu could make his NHL playoff debut in game 6.

After playing just 17 NHL games this season, Beaulieu left the ice with the regulars this morning, while Douglas Murray stayed on for extra work, which suggests the 21-year-old will make his playoff debut in a game where the Habs are facing elimination. Beaulieu had two assists and a plus-6 rating for Montreal this season and was also very productive with Hamilton (AHL) collecting 27 points (7G / 20A) in 57 games.
