Canadiens' Joshua Roy: Three-point effort Friday
Rotowire
Roy scored twice and added an assist in AHL Laval's 7-6 overtime loss to Belleville on Friday.
Roy has four points over his last two games, though he had gone four contests without a point prior to that. He's crossed the 40-point mark for the first time in three AHL campaigns, and he's also secured a second straight 20-goal season. Roy has 38 games of NHL experience to his name, but it'll be tough for him to break into a strong Canadiens lineup.

Rotowire

Canadiens' Joshua Roy: Promoted from minors
Rotowire
Roy was recalled from AHL Laval on Tuesday.
Roy's promotion comes as Owen Beck was sent down in a corresponding move. The 22-year-old Roy will join the Habs for their four-game road trip and could get into the lineup if Kirby Dach (lower body) and Patrik Laine (lower body) remain on the shelf. If either of that duo plays versus the Flames on Wednesday, it likely will mean Roy is playing the role of healthy scratch from the press box.
