  "account": "Montreal Canadiens recalled defenceman David Reinbacher from AHL's Laval Rocket on Tuesday in preparation for their upcoming match against the Washington Capitals. The recall occurred due to veteran defenseman Mike Matheson's lower-body injury sustained during Saturday's game against the Detroit Red Wings. Matheson is currently day-to-day and missed Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over Buffalo Sabres. Reinbacher, a 21-year-old Austrian drafted fifth overall by Montreal in 2023, made his NHL debut in April and played two games with the Canadiens last season.",
