The Montreal Canadiens created a surprise this afternoon with the call-up of Jared Davidson, a forward from the Laval Rocket who is having a strong season in Laval.”The Canadiens announced on Friday that forward Jared Davidson has been recalled from the Laval Rocket in the American Hockey League.”
– Montreal Canadiens
And on social media, many feel it’s simply well deserved.
“Nice to see Jared Davidson getting the much-deserved call up by the Habs.
He has 9 goals & 2 assists for 11 points in 13 games this season for Laval.”

When a player forces the issue like this, the organization always ends up rewarding him.
I’m really happy to read this.
Jared Davidson, Laval Rocket and the Montreal Canadiens’ needs
He scores, he plays physical, he showed he really wanted to move up.
And in Laval, he had become one of the club’s most dangerous forwards.
When the Canadiens lack goals, energy, and sometimes consistency, this kind of call-up often comes at the right time.
You can feel that Martin St-Louis wants to shake things up.
You can also feel that some veterans will have to respond.
Here’s what Nicolas Cloutier had to say:
“Jared Davidson can play hockey (9 goals in 13 games in Laval), but he has a gritty side you can’t overlook.
His fight against Babcock in the WHL back then got a lot of people talking.”
