Earlier this season, Nicolas Beaudin made it known he wanted more ice time in Laval.  He didn’t get it and now, he will look for that playing time elsewhere as the two sides have agreed to terminate his contract; the Habs placed him on unconditional waivers on Sunday.

Laval had a pair of key divisional matchups last week in a home-and-home set with Belleville. While they’ve struggled recently against the Senators, the Rocket did manage to pick up the win in both games, aiding their midseason playoff push.

Laval continued its strong start to January last week, picking up five of six points to move up two positions in the standings and putting them in a decent spot as they approach the midway mark of the season.

December was an up-and-down month for the Habs and the same can be said for many of their prospects.  However, there were some quality performances from some of them, earning them a spot in our monthly three stars.

With Laval having a pair of games against a team behind them in the standings, they were about as close to must-win contests as a game in early January could be. It took a shootout both times but the Rocket were able to come away with the wins.

The 2024 World Juniors came to an end recently with a pair of Montreal’s prospects taking home the gold when Team USA defeated Sweden. Here’s our report card on how the four Canadiens youngsters fared.

Laval faced a busy stretch of three games in as many days to wrap up 2023 but after dropping their first contest, they won two straight against a tough division rival to get back within striking distance of a play-in spot.

A few years ago, Daniel Audette was playing in Montreal’s farm system. Since then, he has bounced around overseas and is currently playing in Switzerland.

The 2024 World Junior Hockey Championship is set to run from December 26th through January 5th and the Habs will be well represented with four of their top prospects taking part. As usual, we’ll keep track of their stats here.
