Kent Hughes Makes Two Roster Moves After the Canadiens' Western Trip
The Montreal Canadiens made a fairly expected adjustment following their trip to Western Canada.
The organization confirmed late Wednesday night that Joshua Roy and Marc Del Gaizo have been assigned to the Laval Rocket.
Both players had been called up on October 21 to join the team for its trip through Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, and Seattle.
Roy played only one game during the trip, while Del Gaizo did not get the opportunity to play.
"The Canadiens have loaned forward Joshua Roy and defenseman Marc Del Gaizo to the Laval Rocket."

Joshua Roy rejoins the Rocket after a short stint in Montreal
In his only game, Joshua Roy was limited to 7 minutes and 58 seconds of ice time against the Calgary Flames.
Even though his playing time was quite short, I think he still showed some good things during his shifts.
Roy now returns to Laval, where he's off to a strong start this season with 4 points (3 goals, 1 assist) in 4 games.
I believe this return will help him regain confidence and continue developing in a more significant offensive role.
As for Del Gaizo, he practiced with the team throughout the entire trip, but Martin St-Louis did not have the chance to put him in the lineup.
In the American Hockey League, however, Del Gaizo is a key player.
So, nothing dramatic for the Canadiens with this move - quite the opposite, in fact.
In my opinion, Kent Hughes and Martin St-Louis prefer to keep their young players active rather than have them sitting in the stands.
