The road was kind to Laval last week as they were able to get enough scoring to pick up two of three wins while moving up three spots in the North Division in the process.
The Habs were flying high offensively but as a result of some shaky play from the defence and goaltending, they were only able to come away with five of a possible eight points.
Fresh off a tough loss against Buffalo, Montreal got off to a rough start on Saturday. However, the offence woke up as the game went along, allowing the Canadiens to earn a 5-4 victory over Vegas.
Tomas Plekanec’s time in Montreal has come to an end again. The team announced on Friday that he is being placed on unconditional waivers for the purposes of terminating his contract.
October was a quality month for the Habs and the same can be said for several of their prospects which are highlighted in our three stars.
Laval’s inability to score came back to haunt them for another week although they were able to eke out a win at the end to snap their losing streak at six straight games.
Home ice wasn’t too kind to the Habs this past week as they struggled to score in two of their three games and as a result, they were only able to pick up a single victory.
The Habs were hoping to carry some momentum from their comeback against the Caps into Saturday as they took on Tampa Bay. That wasn’t the case as the Lightning got stronger as the game went on and earned the 4-1 win.
Montreal’s concerted effort to add more defencemen to the organization is evident in our third group of players in this year’s prospect rankings.
