Immediately after their game with the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Montreal Canadiens used an emergency recall to add Jesse Ylönen to the roster.

Both Tyler Pitlick and Michael Pezzetta were injured in the game, and the Canadiens had just one healthy replacement waiting in the wings, Mathieu Perreault. With the Habs having to travel to play the New Jersey Devils on Sunday, they needed to ensure they had enough bodies to make up a full lineup.
