Montreal Canadiens
The Canadiens announced Monday that forward Owen Beck has been assigned to the AHL's Laval Rocket, while also recalling forward Joshua Roy.
Beck, 21, has filled in as the team's second-line centre since Kirby Dach sustained a season-ending knee injury at the end of February. The Peterborough, Ont., native has one assist in 12 NHL games this season while adding 13 goals and 32 points in 47 AHL games.
Roy, 21, has spent most of the season with the Rocket, tallying 20 goals and 35 points in 46 games. He has had two separate stints in the NHL over the past two seasons, posting four goals and nine points in 27 games from 2023-25.
The Canadiens are three points out of the second wild card spot in the East and play the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night.
Ottawa Senators
Newly-acquired forward Fabian Zetterlund was on the ice for Ottawa at their skate Monday morning, reports TSN 1200 Ottawa.
He skated on the fourth line alongside Matthew Highmore and Adam Gaudette and also saw time on the second power play unit. The 25-year-old was acquired from the San Jose Sharks last week on deadline day and did not make his debut Saturday against the New York Rangers.
Defenceman Nick Jensen did not skate with Dennis Gilbert seemingly acting as a placeholder on the second pairing, TSN 1200 reports.
Linus Ullmark was first off the ice, indicating he will get the start in net Monday night against the Detroit Red Wings.
