With the Habs still taking part in the playoffs, they aren’t particularly well-represented at the 2026 Worlds. However, a pair of Montreal prospects are taking part. As always, we’ll keep track of their stats here.
After a bye in the first round of the playoffs, Laval faced off against Toronto in the second round. While the Rocket had the better regular season record, they weren’t the better team in this series, ultimately falling in the fifth and deciding game to put an end to their season.
Following Laval’s loss at the hands of the Marlies this week, the Habs were able to make their end-of-season ‘Black Ace’ recalls. It’s a smaller group than usual, with only four players getting the nod.
Saturday afternoon’s game was a must-win for both the Rocket and Marlies in the deciding fifth game of the series. Laval led for most of the game but couldn’t hold on, falling 3-2 to end their season.
While the Habs were busy securing a playoff spot and getting through Tampa Bay in the first round last month, several of their prospects were still playing as well. Here’s a rundown of their top performers from April.
After a bye in the opening round of the playoffs as a result of winning the North Division, Laval will get their postseason officially underway on Wednesday as they begin a best-of-five series against Toronto.
It wasn’t a great final week of the regular season for Laval who went to Toronto for a pair of games and lost them both. However, with Syracuse only winning one of their games, the Rocket finished the season atop the North Division, giving them home ice advantage for two rounds if they advance that far.
Laval finished up the home portion of the 2025-26 regular season schedule last week with a pair of games against the Senators. They managed to get three of four points but the one they left on the table could come back to bite them.
Back home to kick off April, Laval had a light week last week with a pair of games against Calgary, one of the weaker teams in the league. However, they were only able to pick up a split but they still hold onto first in the division for the time being.
The month of March represented the beginning of the stretch run for Laval while several of Montreal’s prospects kicked off their playoffs. Here are their top performers.
