It was a quiet week for Laval but a good one as the Rocket won a big divisional battle against Utica in their lone game. After getting some players back for that game, they’re also set to get some more help on the injury front for their upcoming contests this week.
Montreal’s long road trip finally came to an end on Monday night with a stop in Minnesota. They played like a team that had been on the road for a month as they didn’t muster up much in an 8-2 loss.
The Western road trip continued for Montreal this past week and while they had a tough outing in Arizona, they got some strong goaltending after that which helped them pick up at least a point in three straight games for only the second time this season.
Earlier this week, the Habs made their selection for GM, hiring player agent Kent Hughes. Was he the right choice for the Canadiens? Our writers offer up their initial thoughts on this hire.
After an extended break due to COVID, Laval – or at least what was left of them – resumed their season last week. Despite missing many key regulars, they still impressed with a pair of victories in their three games.
After a lengthy search, the Habs have found their next general manager as Kent Hughes was named the 18th GM in franchise history on Tuesday morning.
For a brief moment, the Habs didn’t have anyone in COVID protocol. That time has come to an end, however, as the team announced that Cole Caufield and Joel Armia have tested positive and have entered protocol.
The Habs were fairly busy in advance of Monday’s matinee affair against Arizona. They placed Alex Belzile on waivers, sent some players to the minors, and announced several injury updates.
After another extended break due to attendance restrictions in Quebec, the Habs were back in action this past week as they reached the midway point of their now ten-game road trip. While they got some reinforcements back, the end results were pretty much the same.
The final month of 2021 was one to largely try to forget about if you’re a fan of the Habs but a few players did well enough to earn the votes from our readers to make them one of the three stars of the month.
