Laval’s second week of the season ended on a tough note but all in all, they had a good week as they picked up four points despite missing two of their top forwards.

Following a summer that featured plenty of turnover both on and off the ice, Laval got their 2021-22 season underway last week as they split a home-and-home series with Belleville.

Laval’s fifth season is set to get underway on Friday night as they return to the North Division and a normal travel schedule after winning a pandemic-formed Canadian Division last season.  That’s just one of many changes heading into the 2021-22 season.

Montreal’s training camp roster was reduced by one on Saturday as the Habs announced that winger Jesse Ylonen has been sent to Laval.

With the Habs using him in a pair of preseason games, it felt like only a matter of time before they signed Arber Xhekaj.  They did just that on Monday, inking the defenceman to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Kaiden Guhle hasn’t been drawing comparisons to future Hall of Famer Shea Weber. But how close exactly is Guhle to Weber looking at their stats in junior hockey?

Laval added a quality piece up front on Friday, announcing the signing of centre Kevin Roy to a one-year, one-way AHL contract.
