Prior to leaving for their season-high seven game road trip, the Montreal Canadiens announced that they've called up AHL top goal scorer Anthony Richard from the Laval Rocket.

Richard, 25, was signed by the Canadiens to one-year, two-way contract worth $750,000 on the opening day of free agency in July So far, his stint in the Canadiens organization has been a big success.

In 27 games for Laval, the Trois-Rivieres (Quebec) native has put up 31 points (18 goals, 13 assists), 24 penalty minutes and is a plus-four.

In a corresponding move, the Canadiens have assigned forward Rem Pitlick to the Laval Rocket.

The Canadiens will begin their seven-game road trip at Mullett Arena on Monday night when they face the Arizona Coyotes. Puck drop is set for 10 p.m. ET.
