HW 3 Stars: March’s Top Prospects
–
The month of March was a rough one for Laval but several of their other prospects had strong months, earning them the top billing in our prospects of the month.
The month of March was a rough one for Laval but several of their other prospects had strong months, earning them the top billing in our prospects of the month.
At some point, the lack of offensive talent in Laval was going to catch up with them despite their decent play in recent weeks. The final week of March turned out to be when the struggles returned.
As the song and saying go, two out of three ain’t bad. That’s normally the case when it comes to results in any given week but for the Habs, their one loss was a costly one.
Sundays usually aren’t busy for the Habs in terms of transactions but this one is an exception. After inking Ryan Poehling earlier in the day, they signed goalie Cayden Primeau to a three-year, entry-level deal.
Ryan Poehling’s time at the NCAA level has come to an end as the Habs announced that he has signed a three-year, entry-level contract. The first year of the deal will be burned this season.
Following a tough loss on Thursday, the Habs are now on the outside looking in at the postseason. However, there are two teams within striking distance so there’s still a chance for Montreal. Here’s a look at the schedules for the squads still in the hunt.
Despite a thinned-out roster, Laval continued their strong month of March by picking up five of a possible six points in a trio of games that went to overtime.
While it ended on a bit of a down note, it was still a solid week for the Habs as they put themselves back into a playoff spot for the time being.
Fresh off a big win over Buffalo, the Habs looked to make it two victories in as many nights as they took on Carolina on Sunday. However, a late goal from the Hurricanes got it to overtime where Andrei Svechnikov scored the winner to give them the 2-1 victory.
Laval’s third quarter had some ups and downs but a handful of forwards put forth impressive performances. Those players get the top nods as we wrap up our grades.
