The CH has just published an important official clarification concerning Roy and Beck

In the past few days, we've seen something out of the ordinary with the Montreal Canadiens, as young Owen Beck was rushed back from the junior ranks, and he made his NHL debut much earlier than expected.

He did well last night.

Beck was then immediately returned to the junior ranks after yesterday's game against the Ottawa Sens.

An official CH clarification.


As reported by reporter Simon-Olivier Lorange, the CH did indeed provide the following clarification:


Here it is.

So Beck was picked ahead of Joshua Roy because he's a center and because it worked better logistically, but the young Roy was really considered by the Habs (for an emergency recall)

We also note another important element: Suzuki-Dach-Dvorak were really uncertain cases for yesterday's game. They are therefore inconvenienced by small injuries. A file to follow.
