Blue Jackets recall Liam Foudy from OHL's London Knights

The Blue Jackets have recalled forward Liam Foudy from the OHL's London Knights on an emergency basis, and he's set to make his NHL debut on Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Knights announced Sunday.

NHL teams are permitted to recall players from junior during the season under certain extenuating circumstances. Recalling Foudy is allowed after a mutual decision the Blue Jackets and Knights made, according to The Athletic's Aaron Portzline.

Under the rules, Foudy can't stay in the NHL for more than five games or be in the league past March 1, Portzline adds.

The Blue Jackets selected the 20-year-old 18th overall in 2018. He's the Knights' co-captain this season and has recorded 20 goals and 43 points in 32 games.
