The Montreal Canadiens announced a few roster moves involving their top prospects on Sunday evening. The team has called up Ryan Poehling from the Laval Rocket and placed Jesperi Kotkaniemi on injured reserve.
Poehling was the team’s first round pick in 2017 and played two seasons with the St. Cloud State Huskies before starting this season with the Rocket. He had a strong training camp with the Canadiens but was injured in a preseason game against the Florida Panthers, suffering a concussion, and missed most of camp.
The 20 year old centre was back healthy just in time for the start of the season but the team elected to send him to the AHL.
