A few days ago, a big rumor surfaced suggesting that the Montreal Canadiens were going to recall forward Samuel Blais upon their return from the road trip.
TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie even reported some interesting information on the subject.
"The Canadiens reportedly have no intention of leaving Samuel Blais waiting in the AHL for long."
"A recall as soon as the team returns to Montreal after its three-game road trip is highly plausible."

As the team is holding its first practice in Brossard today (since returning from the Western road trip).

So don't be surprised if Samuel Blais' recall is literally announced in the next few minutes. This is a developing story, but everything indicates that a new forward will soon join the equation for head coach Martin St-Louis.
Samuel Blais as reinforcements for the Montreal Canadiens in the next few minutes?
We obviously recall that Blais was claimed off NHL waivers last Thursday by Kent Hughes and the Canadiens (from the Toronto Maple Leafs). He was then assigned to the Laval Rocket in the AHL, and on Saturday he scored twice in regulation before sealing the win in the shootout.
Don't be surprised if Jared Davidson or Florian Xhekaj is sent back to Laval to make room for Blais, as he's expected to step onto the ice in Brossard live in the next moments.
More details to come.
