Davidson was reassigned to AHL Laval on Saturday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
The Canadiens acquired Phillip Danault from the Kings on Friday, pushing Davidson down the depth chart one more spot. He had been a healthy scratch in his four previous games and needs the playing time he will see at the AHL level. Davidson has one assist in 10 NHL games this season.

Canadiens' Jared Davidson: Earns first NHL helper
Rotowire
Davidson notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
This was Davidson's first point in eight career NHL games, all of which have come since his Nov. 14 call-up from AHL Laval. The 23-year-old forward has been playing on the fourth line when in the lineup, so his chances to score will remain limited unless he carves out a larger role. Davidson has supplied seven shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-2 rating so far.
