The injuries continue to pile up for Laval which has put a dent in their production. However, they were still able to tread water last week, picking up a pair of victories in their four games to hang around the mix of avoiding the play-in round for the playoffs.

The depth of Montreal’s prospect pool really starts to show in this group. There’s a strong case to make for most of these players to be in the top 20 but because of the volume of prospects currently in the organization, they come up a little short.

Laval did a nice job rebounding from a tough loss in Toronto but unfortunately, their week ended on a low note after a very tough blown lead on home ice that allowed division rival Belleville to come in and steal a victory away.

After the start of their week was delayed by several players entering COVID protocol, Laval headed out on the road for a trio of games. They managed to pick up a big win in Rochester, however, that was sandwiched by a pair of tough losses.

After a stint on the road, Laval was back home for an important series against division rival Syracuse. The Rocket made the most of it, sweeping all three to move up to third in the division in points percentage.

While the week ended on a disappointing note, it was still a good showing for Laval in the second half of their road trip as they managed to pick up three of a possible four points off the top team in the AHL.

There were plenty of COVID-related postponements in January, resulting in some different players getting the nod for our prospects of the month.

In this third group of prospects in our 2021-22 rankings, we have some later-round picks that have slowly upped their value over the past year or so.

Laval kicked off a two-week road trip with a pair of games in Texas last week. While the Stars are among the weaker teams in the AHL, they were bolstered by the return of Anton Khudobin. In the end, the Rocket picked up a split by eking out a win in the second game.
