Last week got off to a particularly rough start for Laval as they fell to the worst team in the league. However, they were able to bounce back with a pair of victories on the road to maintain top spot in the AHL.

As it was for the Habs, February was a month of ups and downs for many of its prospects and even in Laval. Nonetheless, several players stood out amongst the crowd, earning a spot in our three stars.

Laval had a pair of games that had them in a battle for first place in the league last week. It took a pair of comebacks but they picked up wins in both games, vaulting themselves into first overall for the time being.

After a tough week, Laval was able to rebound nicely, picking up a pair of victories against two division rivals to retain the second seed in the North Division as the calendar flips to March.

The top eight is a spot that the Habs likely went into this season not expecting to draft in but some inconsistent play makes it a possibility. Who are the best players available in the upcoming draft class?

Last week was a tough one for Laval as their injury-riddled roster wasn’t able to take full advantage of a lighter week on the schedule in terms of their opponents. As a result, they no longer hold down the top spot in the North Division.

With Montreal sliding back in the standings as of late, it’s possible that their first-round pick might not fall in this category but a hot streak could change that in a hurry. If that happens, there are some intriguing names that could be available in the back half of the lottery at the draft.

One of Montreal’s prospects is set to make his season debut on Wednesday night.  The Habs announced that defenceman David Reinbacher has been activated off season-opening IR and has been assigned to Laval.

A beaten and banged up Laval team had a tough last few games, only managing one win out of three while losing handily to a pair of division rivals as well.

With Montreal potentially landing Calgary’s first-round pick this year (top-ten protected), they could find themselves with a draft pick that falls just outside the draft lottery. Here are some players to keep an eye on in that range.
