With Jordan Harris being a game-time decision tonight against Vancouver, the Habs needed to get an extra defenceman on the roster. That player is Gustav Lindstrom who has been recalled from Laval. To make room, Joel Armia was sent to the Rocket.
The Habs were back on the road on Thursday as they travelled to Detroit to take on the Red Wings. While they gave up the lead in the third, they were able to overcome it with a 3-2 overtime victory.
The Habs had a relatively successful month of October, playing well enough to find themselves in a playoff spot with a handful of players getting off to good starts. Not surprisingly, the fan vote for our three stars was pretty close. Here are the results.
After a Western road trip yielded little success, the Habs were looking to turn things around as they returned home to host Tampa Bay on Tuesday night. However, they couldn’t overcome a disastrous first period, ultimately falling 5-3.
A return home after a tough road trip didn’t do much to change Laval’s fortunes. While they did pick up an impressive comeback victory, they didn’t muster up much in their other two games, both multi-goal losses.
As is often the case, Montreal’s road trip out West wasn’t the most successful in the standings. While they had one of their best outings of the season in Vegas, that was the only point they were able to muster up.
October was a pretty good month for the Habs and the same can be said for several of their prospects who are off to good starts to their seasons. Montreal’s top prospect performers are highlighted in our three stars.
The month of October was a pretty good one for the Habs, all things considered as they posted a 5-2-2 record for the month with some veterans leading the way. Vote now for your three stars.
The third week of the season was one to forget for Laval. They had two road games and struggled both defensively and in goal for both of them. That’s not an ideal combination and the end result was two more losses.
