"The Canadiens have recalled Lucas Condotta from the Laval Rocket (emergency recall)." - Montreal Canadiens
After Joel Teasdale, it's now another player who arrives as reinforcement for the Habs.
Because of this recall, as mentioned by the excellent Luc Gélinas of RDS, it is safe to assume that Mike Hoffman will not be available to face the Bruins.
Condotta, 25, is a 6-foot-1, 223-pound center. He has 30 points in 71 games this season with the Laval Rocket. (16 goals) He was signed last spring after a stellar NCAA stint.
