NEWARK – Back in the Canadiens’ fold, Louis Leblanc talks about what he expects from his second stint in the NHL.

With a hole still needing to be filled on the front lines, the Canadiens opted to swap Bulldogs, sending down Andreas Engqvist and recalling 2009 first round draft-pick Louis Leblanc back from Hamilton. Returning after an initial 14-game stretch with the Habs that ended just before New Year’s, and comprised many firsts for the rookie forward, Leblanc has a new perspective on his second call up.

“I know a little bit better what to expect this time around. My first game, my first assist, my first goal – all those things are behind me now so that helps me be a little less nervous and definitely takes some of the pressure off,” said Leblanc whose second assist in the NHL came in Montreal against the same New Jersery squad he’ll be facing Thursday night.
