Following a season in which they finished dead last, something had to give in Laval. That was the case on Tuesday as the Canadiens relieved Sylvain Lefebvre of his duties as head coach.
Laval failed to save their best for last as a pair of losses capped their season while solidifying their dead-last position in the AHL. It wasn’t all bad, however, as a pair of players received some good news to end their year on a higher note.
The final full month of the regular season for most of Montreal’s prospects saw a couple of newcomers make their mark to earn spots in our March Prospect 3 Stars.
