Senators claim Victor Mete off waivers from Canadiens

The Ottawa Senators claimed defenseman Victor Mete off waivers from the Montreal Canadiens, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Mete will be in Ottawa's lineup Monday night when the club takes on the Winnipeg Jets, head coach Pierre Dorion confirmed, according to Sportsnet's Kyle Bukauskas.

The 22-year-old has only appeared in 14 games with the Canadiens this season, spending the majority of the campaign on the team's taxi squad. He's accumulated three assists in 2020-21.

The Senators traded defensemen Mike Reilly and Braydon Coburn to the Boston Bruins and New York Islanders, respectively, on Sunday.

The Canadiens selected Mete with the 100th pick in 2016. He's amassed four goals and 30 assists in 185 career games.
