The Montreal Canadiens organization has made its decision ahead of the team's trip out West.
It will finally be Joshua Roy who replaces Patrik Laine (lower body, day-to-day) for the next few games.
This is quite a particular situation...
Let's recall that during Patrik Laine's most recent game, we witnessed an unusual scene on the bench.
"That's a photo of the Canadiens' bench after Cole Caufield's tying goal vs Nashville in the third period.
You can see the joy on every player's face well, on every player's face except one (Laine)"

Afterwards, there was no further news about Laine, other than a random injury announcement...
Some observers and fans are starting to ask questions, and I'd say they're right!
What's going on with Patrik Laine?
He seemed in great shape during the Canadiens' most recent game, and now we vaguely learn that he will not be traveling out West with his teammates.
We're still talking about a four-game trip lasting more than a week.
Why not give an official update, as the Canadiens did with Kaiden Guhle?
In any case, for now, Joshua Roy will be replacing Laine, and we have absolutely no idea when Laine might possibly return to play.
What will happen if Joshua Roy starts playing extremely well?
Rest assured, we will keep you updated very quickly on developments regarding Patrik Laine (when there are any), because the situation remains quite strange at the moment.
Joshua Roy, 22 years old, has 4 points in four games this season with the Laval Rocket, and this opportunity is huge for him if he wants to become a regular Canadiens player one day.
