The move was made as the return of Mike Hoffman is imminent. The team did have an open roster spot when they sent down Ryan Poehling, but Sami Niku coming off of injured reserve would take that spot.

If Belzile clears, he will be a major contributor in Laval. The team has a lot of forward depth, but may have to deal with the absence of Poehling, who suffered an injury in the team’s last game on Saturday in Belleville.
