The three logical candidates were Logan Mailloux, William Trudeau, and Mattias Norlinder, especially knowing that Jayden Struble had already been recalled earlier this week.
Among the three (Mailloux, Trudeau, and Norlinder), Norlinder is the one who had the worst start of the season in Laval.
Still, Norlinder is the one who was recalled and who gets a superb opportunity.
Here is the official announcement.
