MONTREAL, QUEBEC – Montreal Canadiens and Hamilton Bulldogs General Manager Marc Bergevin announced today the Canadiens have assigned defenceman Jarred Tinordi to the Bulldogs.

Tinordi has appeared in six games with Montreal this season, recording no points and nine penalty minutes.

In 67 regular season games with Hamilton, the Millersville, Maryland native recorded 13 points (two goals, 11 assists) and 71 penalty minutes. In eight regular season games with Montreal, he recorded two assists and two penalty minutes. In five playoff games with the Habs, he recorded one assist and 15 penalty minutes.
