The Montreal Canadiens have called up forward Ryan Poehling and placed forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi on injured reserve, the team announced Sunday.

Poehling, who scored a hat trick and shootout winner in his NHL debut last year in Montreal's regular-season finale, has three goals and five points in 13 games with the Canadiens' AHL affiliate this year.

Kotkaniemi, the third overall pick of the 2018 NHL Draft, missed Saturday's contest against the Dallas Stars with a groin injury. The Finnish sophomore has two goals and one assist in 12 games this season.
