Glad Barber is back. Didn't McNiven get called up?

Only to be reassigned to another ECHL team. Jacksonville is Winnipeg's ECHL affiliate and they had just sent a goalie there. So much like was the case in Adirondack (New Jersey's ECHL affiliate), McNiven was found in a menage a trois. So Laval recalled him from Jacksonville to reassign him to another ECHL team. It should be done any day.

It's time for the Habs to get a ECHL team for themselves.

They really do. I hope it all works out with Trois-Rivieres.

- Garrett Mitchell will play after being signed to a PTO earlier today.

Laval shouldn't take Lehigh Valley lightly, but the Phantoms are one of the worst teams in the league. They're last in their division. They are also the worst team offensively.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Great back-to-back shifts by Laval to start the game. Barber draws the penalty. Laval heading to the PP.

 

[Adam Michaels]

That was not a good looking PP.

GOAL! Jake Evans!

Real good rush by Olofsson on the right side who gets the puck to the net and Evans picks up the loose puck to score his 8th of the season.

Olofsson and Brook with the assists.

This is Evans' 7th point in the last three games.

The assist from the Evans goal that was initially given to Brook has been changed and given to Hudon. So assists go to Olofsson and Hudon.

Josh Brook headed to the box for Holding.

Yea, they're beauties.

Translation: Bergevin isn't sitting on his ass at the start of this year. He even assigned Diane Bibeau to the Laval Rocket.

Nice saves by Primeau on that last sequence on Lehigh Valley's PP.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Good kill by Laval. Primeau with some nice saves.

And now Laval is heading to the PP.

 

[HabsDood]

Evans doin' good

 

[Adam Michaels]

Great job by McCarron to stop Lehigh Valley from trying to get out of their zone. Puck goes to Hudon, who sets McCarron up for a nice one timer. Berube makes the save.

 

[Adam Michaels]

This PP is looking better than their first one. But Berube is closing the door.
