dlbalr Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 After a five-day layoff, the Rocket (16-18-7) are back at it with a home-and-home series against the Senators (17-21-3) over the next two days. Laval will get one forward back as Jeremy Gregoire is expected to play but top scorer Chris Terry has been ruled out of both games already. (Lines based on +/- data and some guesses with Ottawa recalling Filip Chlapik recently.) Paul - O'Brien - Rodewald DiDomenico - White - Gagne McCormick - Kelly - Blunden Perron - Flanagan - Randell Burgdoerfer - Murray Englund - Jaros Erkamps - Lajoie Taylor Audette - Cracknell - Scherbak Veilleux - McCarron - Gregoire Petti - Eisenschmid - Baun Boucher - Ebbing - Waked Gelinas - Taormina Parisi - Juulsen Leblanc - Lernout Lindgren Puck drop is at 7:30 PM EST on Friday and 7:00 PM on Saturday. 91.9 Sports has the coverage in French.

dlbalr Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 The second period wasn't pretty for Laval. It was 4-0 before the midway mark and McNiven is in the game now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Only one lineup change for the rematch as Simon Bourque is in for Stefan LeBlanc. Lindgren gets the start again after getting the hook last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Good news: Laval wins 4-0 - Lindgren made 25 saves for the shutout and Cracknell had another three-point night. Bad news: Gregoire is facing an automatic suspension for instigating a fight after the game. https://theahl.com/stats/game-summary/1017721 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Scherbak didn't play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He blocked a shot on Friday and I guess he was a bit sore. Lefebvre said postgame that he'll play on Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Ryder Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Why does Juulsen has no PP time with Taormina ? Nothing to win playing Gelinas all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They claim they're about player development but don't put young players in important situations. They claim they're about winning this year and have done nothing to supplement the team since they lost a bunch of players midseason. Nobody really knows which of these is actually true from one night to the next. With regards to Juulsen specifically, he hasn't done much of anything offensively to really warrant much PP time. They go with Taormina plus four forwards on the first PP unit and then Gelinas and Parisi (no one really knows why he's on there) on the second. Maybe he could play with Gelinas on PP2 but they seem to be trying to cap his ice time as more of a second liner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
