After a tough weekend on the road, Laval returned home last week for a trio of games and put forth some of their better performances of the year to pick up four points to get back to a .500 points percentage.
As expected, Adam Brooks’ time with the Canadiens organization has come to an end as the Golden Knights claimed him on waivers on Wednesday.
After a disappointing loss to the Bruins on Sunday, the Habs were back in action on Tuesday in New York to face the Rangers. Once again, their performance was strong at some points and poor at others and the end result was another close loss as they fell 3-2.
Adam Brooks’ time with the Habs has turned out to be short-lived as the Canadiens announced on Tuesday that he has been placed on waivers.
The Habs put forth some better performances last week compared to earlier in the season but at the end of the day, the results were largely the same as they managed just a single win over their four games.
The Habs got off to a good start in Boston on Sunday night but things fell apart as the game went on. The Bruins picked up four unanswered goals in the third period and that was the difference as they skated away with a 5-2 win.
Saturday’s game was one that the Habs controlled for the most part. They were clearly the better team for at least 45-50 minutes. But 45 seconds with a cold goaltender was enough to keep the team from earning a second consecutive victory for the first time this season as they lost 3-2 in overtime to the Red Wings.
