Redmond split the 2016-17 season between the AHL and NHL. He had five assists in 16 games with the Canadiens and 18 points (4G / 14A) in 26 contests with the St. John’s IceCaps (AHL). He is nothing more than an AHL D-man or seventh/depth defenseman for the Sabres.
With Andrei Markov set to return on Tuesday, Zach Redmond was waived on Monday and will be sent to St. John’s. Redmond had just five assists in 16 games this season.
Redmond was with the Avalanche last year, appearing in 37 games and picking up six points (2G / 4A). Redmond will replace Greg Pateryn and make his Canadiens’ debut on the third pairing.
Redmond, 27, split his time between the NHL and AHL in 2015-16, finishing the year with six points (2G / 4A) in 37 games with Colorado and seven points (3G / 4A) in 11 games with San Antonio (AHL). Redmond has offensive ability, but has yet to really produce at the NHL level—33 points (9G / 24A) in 114 career NHL games.
Redmond has appeared in three games with the Jets this season, he has been held off of the score sheet in all three contests. He has recorded 13 points (5G / 8A) in 17 games with the St. John's IceCaps. There is no word on whether or not he will draw in on the blueline on Saturday.
Redmond, 25, has played in three games with the Jets since his recall on November 3. He will return to the IceCaps where he has played in two games so far this season for two points (1G / 1A) and two penalty minutes. Redmond has played in 115 career AHL games between Chicago and St. John’s for 52 career points (17G / 35A) and 73 career penalty minutes.
Redmond had one goal and three assists in eight games with the Jets last season. He has one goal and one assist in two games with St. John's.
The 24-year-old had a goal and three assists in eight games last season for Winnipeg before suffering a leg injury, which ended his NHL season. Redmond required immediate surgery after suffering an accidental skate cut to his right thigh during practice. He returned to play a pair of games with the IceCaps of the American Hockey League to end the season.
Like the Karlsson return, this is nothing short of spectacular. Redmond suffered a life-threatning laceration to his leg in practice earlier this season. He expected to miss the rest of the season because of the incident, but he is already back in the NHL. With Zach Bogosian out with a concussion, the door is open for Redmond to get back in the lineup. We'll have to wait and see if it is him, Derek Meech or Jacob Trouba tonight.
Redmond doesn't expect to have any fantasy relevance.
Redmond suffered a deep cut above his knee at practice and was rushed to the hospital to have emergency surgery. He will miss the rest of the season.
Redmond fell during a 1-on-1 drill, ended up on the ice and a teammate stepped on the back of his knee, causing a deep cut. Redmond was taken to hospital by ambulance and the Jets said he was undergoing surgery early Thursday afternoon. We’ll provide updates as they become available.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
