Canadiens recall recently waived forward after injuries stack up

The Montreal Canadiens took to twitter on Wednesday morning to announce that they have recalled forward Rem Pitlick from Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League (AHL).

Pitlick, 25, has been a player Habs fans have come to really enjoy since bringing him in during the 2021-22 season. By all accounts, he brings both speed and offense to any lineup he's in, though for whatever reason, he's struggled to stick around permanently at the NHL level. In 46 games last season with the Habs, he had a solid nine goals and 26 points.

Unfortunately, Pitlick's absence was non-existent to begin the 2022-23 season, as he had zero points in seven games with the Habs before being assigned to the Rockets. He went on to play three games at the AHL level, recording three assists. The hope now is that he was able to build up some confidence and display that this time around.
