Injuries force a shake up as the Canadiens host the Jets on Tuesday.
The Montreal Canadiens have been forced to do a massive shake up to their roster ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets.
Joel Armia (upper body), Juraj Slafkovsky (lower body), and Jake Evans (lower body) have all been placed on injured reserve. Rem Pitlick and Rafaël Harvey-Pinard have been recalled from the Laval Rocket on an emergency basis.
Because it is an emergency recall, these games and days do not count towards Pitlick’s countdown to needing waivers again.
