We just had a surprise, live from the Montreal Canadiens’ practice in Brossard. Let’s hope this isn’t related to another injury on offense.
It’s rare to see this, but it looks like we’ve just learned about Condotta’s call-up simply by spotting him on the ice.
We’re still awaiting official confirmation and explanations from the Montreal Canadiens organization.
Update: The Laval Rocket has just confirmed Condotta’s call-up.
Another update: The Montreal Canadiens have announced that Condotta’s call-up is due to young forward Oliver Kapanen’s return to Sweden.
The Canadiens have loaned forward Oliver Kapanen to Timra IK in the SHL and have recalled forward Lucas Condotta from the Laval Rocket.
– Montreal Canadiens
Oliver Kapanen’s SHL team, Timra IK, released the following statement (translated to English):
Timra IK can today happily announce that Oliver Kapanen is returning to the club, after dialogue between all parties involved, the decision was made on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday that there will be a return. Oliver who was responsible for a very strong camp in the Montréal organization and has started the season in the NHL. In total there were 12 games and two points this time.
We get here an already very good player but also with great potential who will continue his development with us next season. Oliver gives the team a higher level of competition and a different depth in the center position, where we are convinced that he will contribute greatly to the team , comments Kimmo Kapanen, sporting director of Timra IK.
Oliver will train with the team in the SCA Arena already at the reunion on November 11 and is ready to play for the home match against HV71 on November 14.
Kapanen, who has had an up-and-down time in the NHL thus far, will likely be a top-six centre for the team. He said the following in an interview:
It feels good to return, it has been a useful and good trip for me in Montréal. Now I look forward to coming home and contributing to the team and continuing my development in Timra IK
