  • Xavier Ouellet: Inks overseas deal

    Ouellet agreed to terms on a one-year contract with KHL team Dinamo Minsk on Monday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

    Ouellet spent the last two seasons under contract with the Penguins but was never able to earn a call-up to the main roster. With his last NHL appearance having come back in 2020-21 when he was with the Canadiens, the veteran blueliner will try his chances in the KHL next season.

  • Penguins' Xavier Ouellet: Placed on waivers

  • Penguins' Xavier Ouellet: Inks two-year deal

    Ouellet secured a two-year, two-way contract with Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

    Ouellet figures to play primarily in the minors next season and will serve as an emergency depth option for the organization. Even if the club trades away a defenseman, as has been rumored, it would be to clear that way for Pierre-Olivier Joseph to crack the lineup. Still, should an injury or two crop up during the season, Ouellet should be atop the list of potential call-ups.

  • Canadiens' Xavier Ouellet: Contributing offensively

    Ouellet (undisclosed) has recorded five points in his last seven games for AHL Laval.

    Ouellet -- who missed two months due to an undisclosed injury -- appears to have picked up where he left off. If the blueliner can continue to write his name on the scoresheet, he could earn a call up to Montreal sooner rather than later.

    Ouellet suffered an undisclosed injury last Saturday during AHL Laval's loss to Belleville, Jared Book of Habs Eye On The Prize reports.

    Ouellet, the Rocket's captain, is out indefinitely per the report. If not for the injury, he would have been recalled to the NHL for the ailing Jeff Petry (upper body) instead of Corey Schueneman. Ouellet has totaled three goals and eight assists over 17 games for the Rocket.

    Per Arpon Basu of The Athletic, Ouellet is on the ice with the Canadiens for Tuesday's practice, which suggests he's been recalled by Montreal.

  • Canadiens' Xavier Ouellet: Dropped to minors

    Ouellet was demoted to AHL Laval on Monday.

    Ouellet's reassignment to the minors could be an indication that Shea Weber (upper body) will be available against Toronto on Monday. In limited appearances for the Habs this year, the 27-year-old Ouellet has registered 15 hits, seven blocks and three shots while averaging just 13:54 of ice time. Ouellet is under contract for one more season with Montreal but it's hard to see a path to a full-time NHL gig for him at this point.

  • Canadiens' Xavier Ouellet: Shifts to taxi squad

    Ouellet was reassigned to Montreal's taxi squad Friday, CapFriendly reports.

    Ben Chiarot (hand) was activated off long-term injured reserve in a corresponding move, so the Canadiens are no longer in need of Ouellet's services as a depth defenseman. Ouellet has only cracked Montreal's lineup five times this year and likely won't get many opportunities with the big club down the stretch.
