Dec. 16/17, Laval vs Charlotte

Laval (10-11-6) will look to get some positives going in what has been a miserable month as they travel to Charlotte for a pair of games against the Checkers (17-9-1).  It's hoped that both Nikita Scherbak and Michael McCarron will be available for the Rocket.

How Scherbak fares is going to be something to watch for sure.  He stood out in a big way at the beginning of the season and if he gets back to that in a hurry, he could force Montreal's hand once again to bring him back up.

 

Juulsen opens the scoring this afternoon for Laval who is up 1-0 in the 1st.  McCarron high-sticked Charlotte's goalie on the celebration, causing him to leave the game. 

 

There are new lines for today as well:

 

Terry - McCarron - Scherbak

Boucher - Cracknell - Gregoire

Petti - Audette - Waked

Veilleux - Eisenschmid - Baun

 

Taormina - Lernout

Leblanc - Juulsen

Parisi - Gelinas

Seems like Sherbak has come back in good shape. I hope he forces MB to make a move

 

I don't know if he forces MB to make a move, but I suppose he encourages one. Habs are already deepest on the wing, especially when Lehkonen is back and healthy. Even Hemsky can eat minutes if he ever plays again. It seems to me that it will take more than one move to get Scherbak an every day spot in the lineup.

I am just begging for any move, something to cheer for. :/
