MONTREAL -- The Canadiens claimed defenseman Johnathan Kovacevic off waivers on Saturday.
The Hamilton, Ontario native has appeared in four NHL games with the Winnipeg Jets. He maintained a plus-1 differential over that span. The 25-year-old has spent the majority of his professional career with the AHL's Manitoba Moose. Kovacevic was a third-round pick of the Jets (74th overall) in 2017.
