He also had a two-minute minor over 9:38 of ice time. - Belzile put the Canadiens on top midway through the first period when he banged home a rebound of a Michael Pezzetta shot for his second goal in as many games. The fourth-line forward had an eight-game stretch without a point before the current two-game scoring binge. In total, Belzile has nine points in 18 games since being called up from AHL Laval. Montreal has several injured forwards, some likely done for the year, but guys like Kirby Dach (lower body), Brendan Gallagher (lower body) and Jake Evans (lower body) are all projected back within the next week. That could push Belzile out of a regular gig. |

Belzile had an assist and one blocked shot over 10:35 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Toronto. - Belzile, who started the day in the AHL preparing to play the Toronto Marlies, was called up to the NHL and faced the Marlies' parent club. He was added to the roster after Montreal announced Cole Caufield (shoulder) would miss the rest of the season. He was the secondary helper on Rafael Harvey-Pinard's game-tying goal in the second period. The Canadiens were already operating without several forwards before the Caufield transaction, so Belzile could be around for the next few weeks and getting TOI on the bottom six.
