Canadiens Claim Blair Betts Off Waivers from Flyers

The Montreal Canadiens announced on Wednesday that they have claimed center Blair Betts off waivers from the Philadelphia Flyers. In 75 games last season with the Flyers, he had five goals and seven assists for 12 points. Not a bad depth move for the Canadiens, as Betts will bring lots of skill on the faceoff, as well has experience to the penalty kill and some two-way ability to the forward lines. Look for him to center the fourth line throughout the 2011-12 season.
