Darren Dietz called up

The Canadiens announce that defenseman Darren Dietz has been called up from the St. John's IceCaps as part of an emergency recall.

Dietz, who was reassigned to the IceCaps ahead of the Canadiens matchup against the Buffalo Sabres on March 16, makes his way back to the Habs after Mark Barberio suffered an injury in Wednesday night's contest and was forced to leave after playing just eight minutes.
