Reinforcements are arriving for the Laval Rocket, within the Montreal Canadiens organization, precisely because of the injuries to the Tricolore.
Due to the injuries suffered by forwards Kirby Dach and Patrik Laine, and obviously because of the call-up of forward Owen Beck, the Rocket had to bring in reinforcements to Laval.
Thus, young forward Riley Kidney will have a new opportunity with the Laval Rocket, as will defenseman Darick Louis-Jean.
"Forward Riley Kidney and defenseman Darick Louis-Jean have been recalled from the Trois-Rivières Lions."

We can see that the Canadiens' injuries are having a domino effect throughout the organization...
Reinforcements announced for the Laval Rocket: expect a call-up from Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens on defense
Moreover, with the upcoming Western road trip approaching quickly for the Montreal Canadiens and due to the injury suffered by Kaiden Guhle, don't be surprised if Kent Hughes calls up a defenseman from the Laval Rocket.
That spot could very well go to Adam Engstrom, especially since Darick Louis-Jean's recall with the Laval Rocket hints at that possibility.
Riley Kidney, 22 years old, is a 2nd-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2021 who collected 110 and 100 points in his last two QMJHL seasons.
Last season with the Laval Rocket, he recorded 16 points in 56 games, and he currently has 1 point in 1 game with the Trois-Rivières Lions this season.
More details to follow.
