It's not a good reason anyway. Athletes need rest. Three games in three nights are dangerous for their own health.

It was a lot worse before IIRC. Isn't this almost the only time this season for Laval? They play almost all their games on a wednesday/Saturday/Sunday schedule.

As @ahmedou said, Laval has a partnership with Nolinor. So when they go play far, they fly there. I think they take it when they go to Winnipeg, Charlotte, and Cleveland. This year, they went to Milwaukee in Wisconsin and Rockford in Illinois, so I wouldn't be surprised if they flew there, too.

looks like we'll get a top line of Peca Varone Barber with Hudon paired with Evans as Cox is day to day so not sure what they will do there, perhaps put Vejdemo at RW.
On defense they should be rotating Folin and Alzner since we are at 6 for the veteran rule so here's how things break down as the rule is,
you have to have 12 skaters (goalies don't count) that have played less then 260 pro games (ECHL doesn't count, neither does playoff games or Euro league games while junior age and only games count from the start of the season so not counted are games played this season) You get one player that is exempt if he's played between 260 and 320 games. That leaves 5 vets.
So it breaks down as follows,
under 260 games so 12 of these players have to be dressed each game- Alain, Barber, Brook, Cox, Dauphin, Jevpalovs, Larmarche, Leskinen, Lynch, McEneny, Olofsson, Pelletier, Pezzetta, Vejdemo, Waked
exempt so 1 player can be used from this group- Hudon, Peca, Folin, Veilleux
vet over 320 - every player from the exempt group minus 1 of them, the rest would count as vets. So say Hudon is the exempt, then Peca, Folin, Veilleux, Alzner, Varone, Ouellet so one player from this group will have to sit each night.
Folin and Alzner make the most sense unless Veilleux starts to cool off. Once they get Weise back that means 2 players have to sit or a trade will have to be made.

Still can't believe Evans didn't get one call up on the big team with all the injuries. The kid deserves a few games with the Habs before the season is done, if only as a reward for his hard work.

Primeau with his 3rd shutout in a 3-0 win!
Primeau makes 17 saves for his 3rd shutout of the year as Rocket blank Moose 3-0

He can do it at the AHL level but he's proven he can't at the NHL level.
Wouldn't be the first

no, it has to do with the veteran rule and Folin/Alzner were also said not to be 100% healthy so they wanted 7 D.

Anyone concerned about Brook?
I know he's only 20, still too early, but he's the one in our farm team I have big hopes for. He isn't having a good season and was almost a healthy scratch last game.

when Fleury was a healthy scratch last year no one said a word, but yes I'm very worried about Brook.
