The Habs are off for the next two days so they’re allowing a pair of youngsters to get in a game with Laval in the meantime. The team announced Wednesday that they’ve assigned David Reinbacher and Owen Beck to Laval.
Laval’s road trip ended with a pair of games. The first started in disastrous form before the Rocket pulled off a huge comeback and in the second, some strong goaltending helped them extend their winning streak to five.
Laval kicked off the road portion of their 2026-27 schedule last week with a pair of weekend games. They were quite sharp in both, skating away with relatively easy victories to extend their early winning streak to three games.
In advance of what many expected would be his season debut Thursday, goaltender Samuel Montembeault left practice today with an injury. In response, Montreal has recalled netminder Jacob Fowler from Laval.
Laval kicked off the 2026-27 season with a pair of home games against a division rival in Syracuse. They struggled considerably in the opener but rebounded well with a six-goal effort the next day to pick up a split.
The Laval Rocket kicks off its tenth season of operation on Friday night as they host Syracuse. It has been a season of turnover for Montreal’s top affiliate, with plenty of changes to their roster.
Going into training camp, it looks like Jacob Fowler had a shot at making Montreal’s roster but Samuel Montembeault secured the spot instead. Cutting Fowler was the prudent move, at least for the time being.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been reviewing Montreal’s prospects by position. Now, we put them all together and rank them from first through 49th overall.
With Rookie Camp starting up next week, the Habs released the list of invitees to camp, including a tournament next weekend.
One thing the Habs have a decent supply of is right-shot wingers. That’s a good thing for them as that spot is an area of weakness in their prospect pool.
