As we reported to you earlier, no fewer than five new players were missing during team training for tomorrow night’s game once morest the Detroit Red Wings.
Additionally, the team’s management announced that the seasons of four of its forwards were officially over.
Following this new episode of injuries, it would seem that the DG Kent Hughes has no choice to act.
According to what Renaud Lavoieeverything indicates that the Canadian would be regarding to announce a recall of the Laval Rocket in the American League in order to have enough players to play tomorrow’s game.
“RHP, Jake Allen, Alex Belzile, Jake Evans and Jordan Harris all out of practice. It looks like there are new injuries to the Habs and there will surely be some players called up for tomorrow’s game.”

Same story on the side of the journalist Marc-Antoine Godin of The Athletic.
“The Canadiens only have 11 healthy forwards on the ice today in Brossard. Considering the Rocket only plays on Friday, I wouldn’t be surprised if the CH made an emergency recall, especially in the eventuality that Jake Evans cannot play on Tuesday.”
