The Montreal Canadiens have recalled forward Rafaël Harvey-Pinard from the Laval Rocket before Saturday’s game against the New Jersey Devils.
This meeting is presented on TVA Sports.
A regular player for the Habs last season, he missed the start of the season due to a broken leg. His stay in the American League, however, extended for two months.

The Quebecer amassed 11 points, including four goals, in 24 games with the farm club. He had 10 points in 45 games with the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge last year.
Head coach Martin St-Louis specified at a press conference that forwards Josh Anderson and Brendan Gallagher could miss tonight’s game, which explains the recall of “RHP”. A decision will be made shortly before the match.
-Jakob Dobes will be in front of the CH net. This will be a sixth start for the 23-year-old goaltender, who is still undefeated in the National Hockey League. The impressive Czech has maintained a save percentage of .941 and a goals against average of 1.55 so far.
For the Devils, Jake Allen will play his first game against his former team. The 34-year-old New Brunswicker will take on more responsibility over the next month and a half due to the severe knee injury suffered by Jacob Markström.
Allen wore the CH uniform for three and a half years between 2020 and 2024. He was traded to the Devils last March in return for a conditional third-round pick.
New Jersey, which ranks third in the Metropolitan Division with 60 points, ended a three-game losing streak on Wednesday by beating the Boston Bruins 5-1.
