Montreal Canadiens Make Two Roster Moves Ahead of Game Against the Anaheim Ducks
We have changes to announce with the Montreal Canadiens.
As we mentioned in recent hours, this was a real possibility, and we had several pieces of information suggesting it.. Well, it has just been confirmed.
The Canadiens have recalled two players from the Laval Rocket to join the team in Montreal.
The Canadiens have recalled players Logan Mailloux and Owen Beck
See the official confirmation.
This seems to explain why Rafaël Harvey-Pinard didn't travel with the team.
Owen Beck and Logan Mailloux were already in California (where the Canadiens are currently) for the AHL All-Star Game.
So these are quick and easy recalls for Kent Hughes.
It should be noted that the Canadiens were on the road, far from home, for a pretty long trip and without any extra skaters.
They flew out with only 12 forwards and 6 healthy defensemen, which once again explains this decision involving Beck and Mailloux.
Logan Mailloux, 21 years old, has 22 points in 36 games this season in the American Hockey League, as well as three points in five games in the NHL.
He had an incredible start to the season, but it has been more difficult for the young player since.
Owen Beck, 20 years old, has 27 points in 41 games this season in the American Hockey League, as well as 0 points in two games in the NHL.
Details to follow.
