The Montreal Canadiens have just made a last-minute announcement, confirming what we had speculated moments ago: forward Joshua Roy has been recalled to the team!
Roy, who has been performing exceptionally well recently with Pascal Vincent’s squad, has now earned his call-up. Kent Hughes has made the decision, and Roy is heading back to Montreal. Stay tuned for the official announcement!

We are also expecting another announcement in the coming minutes, an important one from the Montreal Canadiens organization.
Let us recall that earlier this morning, on BPM Sports, the voice of the Laval Rocket, Anthony Marcotte, mentioned that Joshua Roy was absolutely doing the right things to earn a call-up to the big club.
Did he have inside information?
I have no idea, but just a few minutes after his intriguing statement, the Canadiens made the personnel move official.
Roy, aged 21, has amassed 16 points in 17 games this season with the Canadiens’ AHL affiliate. (32 points in 41 games last season.)
It’s a surprising recall, especially considering the imminent returns of Rafaël Harvey-Pinard and Patrik laine but it clearly shows that Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton want to shake things up a bit.
It sends a pretty clear message. Do you like this decision by the Canadiens?
Congestion and decision time is coming for the Canadiens. They currently have 23 players with the Joshua Roy recall, but they have two players in Laine and Harvey-Pinard who will be ready to come off of LTIR soon.

Stay tuned for another potential move, as there’s a clear logjam among the forwards.
