Fresh off a disappointing loss to Ottawa, the Habs were looking to get back in the win column as they hosted the Rangers on Saturday night. They got off to a blistering start before collapsing terribly, blowing a four-goal lead to lose 6-5.
Our second group of prospects in our 2019-20 rankings features a trio of players that were selected back in June including some intriguing long-term projects.
Laval wasn’t able to keep their win streak going as they returned home and wound up winning only one of their three games last week while they were hit hard on the injury front.
While the week ended on a bit of a down (and confusing) note, it was still a strong showing for the Habs as they picked up five of a possible six points.
It was a relatively light week on the schedule for Laval as they had just a pair of road games in Cleveland. However, they were able to take care of both of them, extending their franchise-best winning streak to six games.
The Habs haven’t been known from their offensive production from their back end in recent years but Montreal’s defence picked up seven goals this past week to help the team pick up five of a possible six points.
Several of Montreal’s unsigned prospects had very strong months of October while a handful of Laval players were able to stand out amongst the crowd and are highlighted in our monthly three stars.
Despite facing a pair of top teams in the East, Laval had a strong week on home ice as they picked up three wins in as many games.
While it ended on a down note, the Habs still had a successful road trip through the Western Conference after picking up a pair of victories in three games.
With the 2019-20 season now underway, it’s once again time to begin our annual prospect rankings series. As always, we start at the bottom with the prospects rated from 31st to 38th.
