Bad luck events continue to pile up for the Montreal Canadiens during their recent losing streak. Having already lost Alex Newhook for a significant period of time, they will now be without the services of Kirby Dach for 4-6 weeks thanks to a fractured foot.

Dach blocked a shot during last night’s game against the Boston Bruins, and looked to be in some considerable pain on the bench thereafter. Though he did finish the game, it would appear that was the play that has knocked him out of action.
With top performer Jared Davidson already with the big club to compensate for the loss of Newhook, the Habs will once again have to dip into their reserves with the Laval Rocket. This time, they have decided to recall Joshua Roy for another shot with the Habs.

Roy had no points in his lone appearance with the Canadiens this season, but has performed well with the Rocket so far, putting up seven points (four goals, three assists) through 10 games in the AHL.
The Habs are back in action tomorrow night in Columbus, and Roy figures to be in the lineup for that game. This is a big opportunity for him to prove that he belongs in the NHL.
