BROSSARD, QUE. There’s no guarantee he’ll play much, but the Montreal Canadiens’ three-game swing through Western Canada is a big deal for rookie defenceman Brendon Nash.

The Kamloops, B.C., native was called up this week from Hamilton of the American Hockey League and made his National Hockey League debut in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.

With the Canadiens short four veterans on defence, the 23-year-old was told he would accompany the team on a trip that has stops Thursday night in Edmonton, in Calgary on Sunday for the outdoor Heritage Classic game and next Tuesday in Vancouver.
