The Montreal Canadiens’ farm team, the Laval Rocket, has just announced two significant injuries. It’s clear that this will have an impact on the main team, especially since Joshua Roy seemed really close to a call-up.

Anyway, here is the official statement from the Laval Rocket.

Forward Joshua Roy (upper-body) will be out for four to six weeks.

Defenseman William Trudeau (lower-body) will be out for one to two weeks.

So, what we’re talking about here is a 4 to 6-week absence for Joshua Roy and a 1 to 2-week absence for William Trudeau.

These are indeed two important injuries for Pascal Vincent’s team.

A long absence for Joshua Roy

It’s really a shame, because the coming weeks were going to be important for Josh, both for a potential call-up from Kent Hughes and for the Rocket’s playoff race.

 

Let’s recall that during his last game, Josh Roy fell heavily into the boards and his left shoulder took the full impact, very unfortunate.

 

 

 

Joshua Roy, 21, has accumulated 27 points in 33 games this season, including 14 goals, and he was possibly the best forward for the Rocket.

William Trudeau, 22, has accumulated 12 points in 37 games this season, including 3 goals (with a +7 differential), and he was possibly the most reliable defenseman for the Rocket.
