After a solid start to the season, Laval has started to quickly tumble down the standings. As a result, there aren’t many high marks as we start our second quarter report cards, beginning with the goaltenders and defencemen.
December wasn’t a great month for the Habs or their AHL affiliate but there were some prospects in the junior/college ranks that really stepped up. Here are our 3 Stars for the month.
