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.

Canadiens' Joshua Roy: Sent down to AHL
Rotowire
Roy was reassigned to AHL Laval on Saturday.
Roy was one of the more notable cuts from camp after Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs. The 22-year-old forward has earned 11 points over 35 regular-season games at the NHL level over the last two years, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him earn a call-up at some point in 2025-26.

Canadiens' Joshua Roy: Sends game into OT
Rotowire
Roy scored a goal on one shot and had two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators.
Roy stole a puck in the neutral zone and beat Juuse Saros with a laser to the short side for the game-tying goal that set up overtime. The tally snapped a 13-game scoring drought for Roy, who has two goals and five assists over 17 games since being called up from AHL Laval. The winger has bounced around the middle six but lately has taken up residence on the second line and as part of the second-unit power play.

Canadiens' Joshua Roy: Sets up Armia
Rotowire
Roy had an assist and one shot on net over 11:43 of ice time in Saturday's 9-4 loss to Boston.
Roy lead a break and delivered a well-placed feed for Joel Armia's first-period tally. It was the second point in the last three games for Roy, who scored his first NHL goal in Wednesday's win over the Devils. He was called up from AHL Laval a week ago and could stay with the parent club, which sits outside playoff positioning. If Montreal trades veterans while continuing a rebuild process that began in earnest in 2022-23, it's easy to see Roy maintaining a regular spot on the roster.
