Lucas Condotta recalled by the Canadiens

Josh Anderson was injured in tonight’s game against the Blues. Another injury in Montreal? Yes.

This time, while blocking a shot, Josh Anderson, who is developing into a good power play player, hurt his foot. It didn’t seem to do any good.

He didn’t finish the game.

With Juraj Slafkovsky injured and Josh Anderson a doubt for tomorrow, that’s just 11 healthy forwards – as far as we know, of course.

What does all this mean?

What we do know is that Anderson will travel to Philadelphia with his teammates tonight. We don’t know if he’ll be able to play tomorrow night in Pennsylvania, but he’ll be with the team.

But just in case, Lucas Condotta has been recalled.

The Rocket captain is the first forward to be recalled this season. Logan Mailloux also received a call from the Habs about a week ago.

This puts him ahead of Joshua Roy and Alex Barré-Boulet (who started the season in Montreal), to name but a few.

With the Rocket playing in the U.S. tonight, more specifically in Utica, the forward will be staying in the States and heading to Philly instead of returning to Laval with his teammates.

To be continued.

Extension

– If Anderson can play, is it Condotta who won’t? Could it be Michael Pezzetta? Perhaps, yes.

– But in the meantime, we’ll be keeping an eye on Josh Anderson’s state of health, as he heads for a fairly crowded infirmary. #Slafkovsky #Laine #HarveyPinard #Barron #Guhle
