Joshua Roy has been recalled by the Montreal Canadiens from AHL Laval, marking a significant return after being demoted earlier in October. He is expected to play against the Utah Hockey Club, having recently shown strong performance in the minors.

Roy expressed his happiness about the promotion and emphasized his growth as a player, particularly in pace and offensive involvement. Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis acknowledged Roy's hard work and confidence, hoping he can translate that into NHL success.

Meanwhile, Juraj Slafkovsky struggles continue as he seeks to improve his performance after a disappointing game against Vegas. The Canadiens also made roster adjustments, sending Lucas Condotta back to Laval.
