Primeau will get the start tonight. His first game back since being injured while on the bench as the back up.




Beauregard and Parker-Jones will be scratched tonight. Dubé will return to the line-up.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laval sign Eric Williams to a PTO. He's a 27-year old RD who played on the Chicago Wolves last year, who won the Calder Cup. He was in the ECHL with Norfolk before Laval signed him to his PTO.

With injuries to Dello, Bowey, and Leskinen, as well as Barron being up with Montreal, Laval have 6D left healthy: Beaudin, Schueneman, Norlinder, Trudeau, Galipeau & Sentorame). Galipeau & Sentorame are call ups from 3R.

And with Laval headed on a 3-game road trip after tonight. So they need the extra bodies on D for the trip.

Beaudin is a solid PP QB. He has to get a look at some point.

Primeau….

Serious rust

Trudeau jumping to make that body check. Not a good one there. But not penalized.

However, Manitboda gets called for cross checking. Laval PP coming up.

Belzile with an excellent zone entry. Surprised Ylonen didn't shoot there instead of turning back to make a pass.

Beaudin with a horrible pass

Now Laval going to the box for holding. Sentorame.

Shades of Galchenyuk in the playoffs.

Very nice tic-tac-toe by between Trudeau, Beaudin & Simoneau. But Moose goalie makes a big save.

 

[Adam Michaels]

4-on-4 hockey coming up as Teasdale and a Moose player head to the box for two separate penalties on the same play.

Big saves by Primeau.

Renaud jinxed it.

Manitoba played that OT real well. Simply controlling the puck. And since they had the offensive zone change, it was easier for them to get fresh bodies in, while Laval, being stuck in their zone, they had the long change. So Manitoba did a good job keeping Schueneman, Stephens & Ylonen on the ice for nearly 2 minutes.

I was so pissed that they didn't complete the comeback. They need the points to get into the playoffs.
