Last week wound up being a light one for Laval with one of their games being postponed due to weather. Unfortunately for them, the one they did play didn’t have a happy ending. Even worse, their rapidly thinned-out defensive depth has taken two more recent hits.
The 2023 World Junior Hockey Championship is set to run from December 26th through January 5th and the Habs will be very well represented with six prospects named to the original rosters plus a seventh joining mid-tournament. As usual, we’ll keep track of their stats here.
The 2023 World Junior Hockey Championship will get underway on Monday and while the Habs had a couple of players get cut, they will still be well-represented with players in prominent roles. Here’s a look at who will be participating.
While last week probably didn’t go exactly as planned for Laval, it was a pretty good one overall for them as they picked up a pair of victories and managed to gain some ground on the final play-in spot in the North Division.
With a pair of games against one of the teams they’re trying to catch in the North Division, the Rocket needed to sweep Belleville. They came up just short of doing so but they were at least able to gain a point on them in the standings.
Laval wrapped up their five-game road trip last week, one that saw them begin with plenty of extra players and finish with barely enough to ice a roster. The end result wasn’t much different in the end as they dropped two of three to drop to last in the North Division.
This past week was a strange one for Laval. They had one game that saw both teams light up the scoreboard, another that was a defensive affair, and another that had one of the more bizarre injuries of the season.
There were some ups and downs for Laval over the past week but they were able to come away with a pair of much-needed victories as they look to start trying to climb out of the basement in the Eastern Conference.
The month of October was an eventful one for many of Montreal’s top prospects with several star-worthy candidates as our monthly Three Stars return.
Generating scoring chances wasn’t a problem for Laval last week. However, capitalizing on enough of them to win was indeed a problem as the Rocket managed only a pair of overtime losses, ending their season-long home stand on a losing note.
