Canadiens Provide Clarification on Patrik Laine's Health Status After Emergency Recall of Joshua Roy
After a day off yesterday, there's action again today for the Montreal Canadiens.
It started strong this morning with the emergency recall of forward Joshua Roy and the reassignment of young Owen Beck to Laval.
This meant that a player was dealing with an issue, as this was truly an emergency recall and not a standard recall.
On that note, the Canadiens have just provided a clarification.
Montreal Canadiens' Statement on Patrik Laine
See what TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie reported:
Roy's emergency recall could become a standard recall, depending on the evolution of Patrik Laine's health status.
Let's remember that Laine has already missed nearly two weeks earlier this year due to flu-like symptoms.
If all 12 other forwards on the roster are fit to play, Roy's recall will become a "regular recall."
However, due to Laine's flu situation, the team had to use the "emergency recall" option.
Let's really hope Laine doesn't miss 10 days like last time when he had the flu in January.
We will have more details in the coming hours, particularly during press conferences.

Martin St-Louis will provide more information on this matter, on Patrik Laine, on Joshua Roy's upcoming role, on his lineup for the game against the Canucks, and will likely also announce his starting goaltender.
We will keep you updated on every development.
Let's not forget that the players are currently in Vancouver, so the press conference (which normally happens around noon) will likely take place more towards mid-afternoon.
