The Canadiens have been ravaged by injuries lately and needed a forward, so Beck makes the jump from the OHL to the NHL. The 18-year-old was the No.33 overall pick in 2022 and has scored 19 goals with 25 assists (44 points) in 37 OHL games between Mississauga and Peterborough.
Dobson hasn't played in the Islanders' previous two games due to a lower-body injury and will remain out until after the all-star break as he is set to miss Friday and Saturday's game as well.

Montembeault allowed two goals on 38 shots (.947 SV%) for his third win in four games as he beat Toronto in a comeback overtime victory in his previous start. The Canadiens' backup net minder has been solid when called up this season, with his 10-8-2 record, 3.15 GAA and .911 SV%. He will take on the league leading Boston Bruins, who have won nine of their last ten games and are 1st in the NHL in goals per game (3.8).
Dobson has 10 goals, 17 assists, 137 SOG, 12 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus through 48 games this season but will be a game-time decision Monday as the Islanders take on Toronto. It will be the first game this season that the 23-year-old will be forced to miss.

The Canadiens did not provide a detailed update on Caufield, who was at practice on Friday. He'll undergo season-ending surgery in the near future and a more detailed timeline is expected to be released after the surgery. Caufield is a pending RFA this summer, who is due for a big raise.
Montembeault stopped 25 of 26 shots (.962 SV%) for his second straight victory as he beat the Central leading Winnipeg Jets in his previous start. The 26-year-old will be tasked with a starters' workload now that Jake Allen is on the shelf for a few weeks (injury) and will be hoping to build off his 9-7-2 record, 3.05 GAA and .912 SV%. He will face the Florida Panthers, who are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss to Toronto but are second in the NHL in shots per game (35.4).
