The Canadiens recalled Jesse Ylönen from the Laval Rocket on Wednesday.
This recall follows the dismissal of Anthony Richard announced Tuesday afternoon. Richard was the only healthy supernumerary forward for the Habs in Monday’s game.
Ylönen, 23, has 27 points (8 goals, 19 assists) in 34 games at Laval this season. Last year, the Finn, choice of 2e tour of CH in 2018, divided his time between Laval and Montreal, where he was entitled to 14 games. He scored five points in those 14 games.
The Canadian resumes training Wednesday morning, the day after a day off.
