The Laval Rocket announced Tuesday that forward Joshua Roy will be sidelined due to an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n
His absence is estimated at four to six weeks, which would put his return, at best, in early February. No further details were provided beyond that timeline.<\/p>\n
With Laval this season, Roy has totaled 18 points in 22 games: 8 goals, 10 assists, and 12 penalty minutes. Over his AHL career, he has recorded 85 points in 110 games. In the spring of 2025, he added 10 points in 13 playoff games.<\/p>\n
With the Montreal Canadiens, he has played 38 career games, collecting 11 points. This season in the NHL, he appeared in three games without recording a point.<\/p>\n
At the highest level, his totals stand at 6 goals and 5 assists. He was selected 150th overall by the Canadiens in the 2021 draft.<\/p>\n
Joshua Roy Set to Miss Four to Six Weeks With Upper-Body Injury<\/p>\n
“Forward Joshua Roy (upper-body) will be out for four to six weeks.”<\/p>\n
– Laval Rocket<\/p>\n
Roy, 22, stands 6 feet tall and weighs 192 pounds. He is signed to a three-year entry-level contract with a cap hit of $835,000. For 2025-2026, his base salary is listed at $775,000, and he will become a restricted free agent (RFA) in 2026.<\/p>\n
The Rocket return to action Friday at Place Bell against the Rochester Americans. Laval follows up Saturday against the Syracuse Crunch. In their most recent snapshot, Laval held a 21-11-1 regular-season record.<\/p>\n
On the scoring leaderboard, Laurent Dauphin has 38 points, while Alex Belzile leads the team with 18 goals.<\/p>\n
Roy’s absence forces adjustments, but the organization remains focused on its schedule. Above all, the hope is for a quick recovery, because January waits for no one.<\/p>\n
