The Montreal Canadiens have made a significant roster change by recalling forward Owen Beck from the Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League (AHL). This decision comes as the team faces injury challenges ahead of their upcoming game.
Owen Beck’s Return
Owen Beck has been performing well with the Laval Rocket. In three games this season, he has amassed two points, including one goal and one assist. This recall highlights the team’s confidence in his abilities to contribute at the NHL level.
Injuries Impacting the Lineup
In addition to Beck’s promotion, the Canadiens have also announced that forwards Kirby Dach and Patrik Laine will miss tonight’s game. Both players are nursing lower-body injuries and are currently classified as day-to-day.
- Kirby Dach: Lower-body injury, day-to-day.
- Patrik Laine: Lower-body injury, day-to-day.
Moreover, defenseman Kaiden Guhle will be sidelined for a longer period, expected to be out for four to six weeks due to a similar lower-body injury. The absence of these key players may challenge the team’s depth as they move forward in the season.
Team Outlook
The Canadiens are looking to maintain momentum despite these injuries. The inclusion of Owen Beck into the lineup could provide a much-needed spark. Fans will be keen to see how the team adjusts as they navigate this challenging phase of the season.
