Despite facing some tough competition, Laval certainly held their own last week and picked up three of a possible six points along the way.
Scoring at five-on-five hasn’t been an issue for the Habs for most of the season but they struggled in that department this past week, picking up just a single win in three games to slip further out of the playoff picture.
Despite a rotating door of players, Laval was able to hold their own in the third quarter of the season. As usual, our grades begin with their goalies and defencemen.
February wasn’t a great month in Laval but the same can’t be said for Montreal’s junior prospects as several youngsters completely dominated in the month of February and get the spotlight in our three stars.
While a playoff spot is still highly unlikely, Laval was able to gain a little bit of ground on the fourth and final playoff spot in the North Division.
California has not been kind to the Habs in the past and that trend continued as they dropped two of three including one in embarrassing fashion to drop out of a playoff spot.
Laval made a nice comeback to start their week on a winning note but they weren’t able to follow it up one night later as they split their pair of games against Cleveland.
Poor starts were costly for the Habs as they were only able to pick up two of four wins and have seen their breathing room on a playoff spot evaporate as a result.
Following a good finish to their road trip, the Habs were back at home on Saturday to host the Penguins. However, a rough start proved costly as they were down big early and never came back, falling 5-1.
