The organization of the Montreal Canadiens said Friday afternoon that they had met the conditions required to make the two players eligible. Thus, they can be demoted later in order to help the Habs subsidiary. Going into today’s game against the Rochester Americans at Place Bell, she ranked fifth in the North Division with a .500 record.
Harvey-Pinard has had some good times since his recall a few weeks ago. He had seven goals and four assists for 11 points in 17 games in Montreal. For his part, Ylonen registered two goals and six assists in 20 outings.
Defenseman Justin Barron, who was injured Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings, could not benefit from the same treatment.
