They will call them back for Tuesday I would think
Hope so! I want to start weaning Beck on solid NHL food, and I'm very curious to see how much Mailloux has progressed the last few months. His offence is good; let's see if his defensive game has smoothed out.

Owen Beck scores two goals in a 3-2 loss
Also scored in the second game. I thought Mailloux was one of the more dangerous players in the tournament and easily could have scored 2-3 goals with a bit better finish. Both of our prospects stood out, but it must be remembered that this was a 3 on 3 competition with little intensity.
 
Just a follow up to my comments on the AHL All-Star game. Mailloux was one of the few defencemen who played in the game, in fact, one of the four teams, had no defencemen on their roster. And the lack of defencemen showed as there were multiple (unending) break-a-ways, 2 on 0s and, even 3 on Os. Everyone, as one coach explained during a break, was trying to put on a show. It was in this environment where Mailloux was finally able to show his real potential: as a forward. He spent more time behind the opponents' net than his own. Mailloux has very poor first step quickness, but put him in a situation where he can be free flowing with his skating, where the puck comes to him in motion, he has NHL level skating. Couple that with his size, reach, elite hand skills, play making ability, excellent shot and offensive vision and you have a skilled NHL forward. And if Hughes and Co. can't see that: they are collectively blind.
