|---|---|---|
| Dec. 10, 2023 | Norlinder was assigned to AHL Laval on Sunday. - In a corresponding move, David Savard (hand) was activated from injured reserve. Norlinder didn't see any NHL action following his Nov. 21 recall from the minors. He has notched one goal and one assist in 14 AHL contests this campaign. | None |
| Nov. 21, 2023 | Norlinder was brought up from AHL Laval on Tuesday. - In a corresponding move, Jordan Harris (lower body) was put on injured reserve. Norlinder will provide the Canadiens with some defensive depth during the team's three-game road trip in California. He has one goal and one assist in 14 AHL contests this campaign. | None |
| Oct. 9, 2023 | Norlinder was assigned to AHL Laval on Monday. - Norlinder notched two goals and 19 points in 67 AHL contests with the Rocket last season. The 23-year-old defender could end up seeing NHL action at some this campaign, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the majority of his time is spent in the minors. | None |
| Oct. 4, 2023 | Norlinder remains in the mix for a roster spot, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports. - Norlinder is coming off what may have been his best game in Monday's preseason overtime win against Toronto. He was on the ice in the final moments and made a couple of plays leading up to Josh Anderson's game-tying goal with 42 seconds left. He also partnered with David Savard against a heavy dose of Auston Matthews and Mitchell Marner at five-on-five. Perhaps most importantly, the Canadiens are in need of a defenseman to quarterback the second-unit power play, and the Swede led Montreal's blueliners with 2:24 of PPTOI while scoring the game's first goal on the power play. | None |
| Dec. 16, 2021 | Norlinder will spend the rest of the 2020-21 campaign playing in his native Sweden, the team announced Thursday. - Norlinder played in six games with the Habs this season while logging the same number of contests in the minors with AHL Laval. The 21-year-old blueliner will link back up with Frolunda HC for which he notched 20 points in 37 outings last year. Once the SHL season wraps up, Norlinder could rejoin the Rockets for the end of their campaign. | None |
| Dec. 7, 2021 | Norlinder was reassigned to AHL Laval on Tuesday. - Norlinder has appeared in six games for the Habs this season in which he has tallied one assist, four hits and two shots while averaging just 12:18 of ice time. By rejoining the Rocket, Norlinder should see significantly more ice time in the minors, possibly even on the power play, which will better serve his long-term development. In a corresponding move, Corey Schueneman was brought up from the minors. | None |
| Nov. 28, 2021 | Norlinder had an assist, two hits, one blocked shot and two penalty minutes in Saturday's 6-3 win over Pittsburgh. - Norlinder fired a puck that didn't reach the net but caromed off bodies and sticks in front before Artturi Lehkonen deposited Montreal's third goal. It was the first NHL point for Norlinder, who also picked up his first penalty. | None |
| Nov. 19, 2021 | Norlinder had one shot on goal, one hit and one blocked shot over 17:39 of ice time in Thursday's 6-0 loss to Pittsburgh. - Norlinder made his NHL debut Thursday and was one of three Canadiens not on the ice for a Penguin tally. He replaced Chris Wideman in the lineup and served on the first-unit power play, a nod to his offensive potential. The Habs need to evaluate Norlinder, who had been rehabbing an undisclosed injury. If the 2019 third-round pick does not stick with the team, Norlinder must be returned to Frolunda HC in Sweden. | None |
| Nov. 17, 2021 | Norlinder (undisclosed) will be in action versus the Penguins on Thursday. - Norlinder will be making his NHL debut in Thursday's clash after playing three games in AHL Laval on a conditioning assignment. The 21-year-old Swede is far from a lock for the lineup moving forward but should be in the for regular minutes, though future stints in the minors could also be in the offing. | None |
| Nov. 10, 2021 | Norlinder (undisclosed) returned to Montreal after the end of his conditioning loan Wednesday, though he has not been activated off of season-opening injured reserve. - Norlinder isn't expected to play a significant role with the Canadiens this year. As such, Norlinder would likely serve in a depth role with little chance of playing above the third pairing if he isn't sent down after being activated. | None |
| Nov. 4, 2021 | Norlinder (undisclosed) was loaned to AHL Laval for conditioning purposes Thursday. - Norlinder was cleared for contact Monday, and he'll now head to the minors to get into game shape. Once up to speed, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 21-year-old blueliner assigned to Laval on a more permanent basis. | None |

| 2021-11-01 | analysis | Norlinder -- who remains on non-roster injured reserve -- could be in line to make his NHL debut once given the green light to play.
