As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the NHL instituted a roster freeze at 5 PM EST on Monday. Montreal made one roster move, assigning Jake Evans to Laval.
The third quarter of the season was a tough one for Laval but a lot of the struggles stemmed from a lack of offence. As a result, some of the grades for their goalies and defencemen are relatively high.
Laval had a rare week with a weak opponent on the schedule and they took advantage of it, beating Cleveland twice but the victories came at a cost.
While the week started off on a high note for the Habs, they got worse as it went on and didn’t provide much of a fight over their two-game set in Florida.
February was an interesting month for some of Montreal’s prospects. While several of the usual suspects played well in Laval, some of the Habs’ lesser-known youngsters made their mark elsewhere.
The month of February ended on a good note for Laval as the Rocket picked up a pair of victories in three games to remain within striking distance of a playoff spot.
The Habs had big leads in all three of their games this past week but were still only able to pick up just a single win on home ice as they slim playoff hopes fell even further.
The trade deadline came and went on Monday with a large quantity of trades from the Habs but none really involving impact players. Was that the right approach for Bergevin to take? Our writers weigh in with their thoughts.
Montreal’s farm team will soon be getting some help as Jesse Ylonen’s team in the SM-liiga (Pelicans) announced that he will be loaned to Laval after the weekend for the rest of the season.
