#canadiens rappellent Louis Leblanc. Call up.
Leblanc gets his first NHL call up and may see some time in a scoring role. In his first professional season, the Montreal native scored four goals and 10 points through 14 games.
"I'm probably ahead of schedule right now. I feel great and started a bit of contact last week," Leblanc said. "Day by day I'm getting better." Leblanc will have to travel to Florida to get the full doctor's clearance to resume a regular playing regimen.
Leblanc is expected to start the season in the AHL but could receive a callup sometime this season. The 20-year-old posted 26 goals and 58 points in 51 games for the now-defunct Montreal Juniors last year.
Leblanc is unclear, however, for now, it will be able to undertake the Canadiens rookie camp at the same time as the other. The first choice of the Habs in 2009 should see the doctor at the end of August to see where his rehabilitation. His timetable may then be adjusted.
