The Montreal Victoire announced the re-signing of defender Catherine Daoust on Thursday to fill the void created with Amanda Boulier being placed on long-term injured reserve with an upper-body injury.

Daoust, 29, began this season on the Reserve Player list after playing in 24 games during Montreal's inaugural season. She also spent stints with the CWHL, PWHPA and PHF over five professional seasons before joining the Victoire.

The Montreal native scored nine goals and added 28 assists in 140 games over four seasons at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.

"We have the luxury of having an experienced player like Catherine on our reserve team. She knows the league well, having played in all our games last season, and we're sure she'll be ready for the challenge ahead of us," Victoire general manager Danièle Sauvageau said.

Boulier was injured during the team's game against Toronto on Dec. 21.

Montreal is currently third in the standings with seven points while through its first four games.
