Canadiens' Christian Folin: Returns to practice
Christian Folin (undisclosed) skated with the team in Monday's training camp session, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports,Folin was injured in the final game of the regular season before the league went on hiatus but appears to be ready for the postseason. In 16 games for the Habs this season, the 28-year-old blueliner managed just two points and 13 shots while averaging 14:26 of ice time. Given his limited offensive upside, and uncertainty to play every game, fantasy players will likely want to avoid Folin in both playoff pools and DFS contests.

Canadiens' Christian Folin: Promoted to top level
The Montreal Canadiens recalled Christian Folin from AHL Laval on Wednesday.Montreal traded Marco Scandella to the Blues on Tuesday, so Folin will likely stick with the big club for the remainder of the 2019-20 campaign. The 29-year-old won't, however, have any fantasy value as the Canadiens' seventh defenseman.

Canadiens' Christian Folin: Demoted to AHL
The Montreal Canadiens reassigned Christian Folin to AHL Laval on Monday.Folin was a healthy scratch for five straight games, and with Shea Weber (foot) potentially returning Tuesday versus Detroit, Folin's services are no longer needed at the top level. The 29-year-old will enjoy more consistent playing time in the AHL.

Canadiens' Christian Folin: Scratched Saturday
Christian Folin was a healthy scratch for Saturday's game against Toronto.Folin was replaced by Xavier Ouellet on the third pairing. Both defensemen were called up from AHL Laval this week, as the Montreal Canadiens are dealing with an injury to Shea Weber (lower body), while Victor Mete battles the flu bug. Mete has managed to play the last two games. If the Habs feel Mete's illness is no longer an issue, they may jettison Folin or Ouellet this week.

Canadiens' Christian Folin: Scores first of season
Christian Folin scored a goal on two shots and added three hits over 13:12 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Devils.Folin, who was called up from AHL Laval on Monday as insurance, was needed when Victor Mete succumbed to the flu. The 28-year-old blueliner, playing an NHL game for the first time since Oct. 19, became an unlikely contributor from the third defensive pairing. His seeing-eye wrist shot was deflected by New Jersey's Travis Zajac to give Montreal its first lead of the night midway through the third period. Mete will have another day to recover before Thursday's game against Anaheim.

Canadiens' Christian Folin: Jumps to big club
The Montreal Canadiens recalled Christian Folin from AHL Laval on Monday.Folin spent the first three months of the season with the big club but played just five games, recording an assist and 14 hits. He's been able to play more in the AHL, but his numbers aren't eye-popping there, either. He'll travel with the team to New Jersey on Tuesday, but barring an injury, he's not expected to slot in.

Canadiens' Christian Folin: Waived by team
The Montreal Canadiens placed Christian Folin on waivers Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.Folin had played just five games with the Canadiens this season, registering one assist, so this news isn't quite surprising. The 28-year-old seemed to fall out of favor with the Habs coaching staff, and will look to jump start his season in the minors, assuming he clears. He has 43 points in 233 career NHL games, so this news likely won't have a big impact from a fantasy perspective.

Canadiens' Christian Folin: Returns from assignment
Christian Folin was recalled from his conditioning assignment in the minors Wednesday.Folin has logged seven games for AHL Laval in which he was held off the scoresheet and earned a minus-3 rating. The 28-year-old's performance is unlikely to instill confidence in the Habs coaching staff, so look for him to resume his spot in the press box, where he spent the previous 16 games prior to his assignment.

Canadiens' Christian Folin: Sent on conditioning assignment
The Montreal Canadiens assigned Christian Folin to AHL Laval for conditioning purposes Wednesday.Folin has sat as a healthy scratch for 16 consecutive contests, so he'll head to the minors to play himself back into game shape after a lengthy layoff. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 28-year-old remain with Laval for the full two weeks that is permitted for conditioning assignments.
