dlbalr Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Laval (19-26-8) finds themselves back on the road for a pair of games over the next two days, the first of which comes tonight against Utica (29-15-10). While the Rocket's back end is even more depleted with Noah Juulsen up with the Habs, they could have both Chris Terry and Niki Petti back in the lineup up front at least. (Lines/D Pairings are guesses) Audette - Cracknell - Terry Boucher - McCarron - Eisenschmid Baun - Petti - Gregoire Waked - Ebbing - Broll Gelinas - Lernout Parisi - Leblanc Bourque - Petgrave McNiven (Lines based on last game's +/- listing.) Boucher - Chaput - Carcone Dziurzynski - Cassels - Cameranesi Molino - Hamilton - MacEwan Cherniwchan - Darcy - D'Aoust Wiercioch - Brisebois Blujus - Sautner Comrie - Brodeur Demko Puck drop is at 7:00 PM EST. 91.9 Sports has the coverage in French.

dlbalr Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Terry's back, Petti isn't ready to go quite yet. Scherbak is in as well. And somehow, Matt Petgrave is back in the top-four after being released earlier this week (meanwhile, he plays ahead of an actual Montreal prospect): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 After a scoreless first period, Laval picked up three in the 2nd to lead 3-0 after 40 minutes. Terry (2) and Boucher with the goals for Laval. McNiven has 15 saves and an assist so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is McCarron improving his game? Do these numbers show he's developing ? If I remember correctly, he cannot be waived next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, he cannot be waived next year From the games I've seen of him this season, he hasn't progressed much. He takes advantage of the slower pace in the AHL to aid his limited offensive skillset but that won't be available to him in the NHL. He also is still a penalty minute machine. He is waiver-eligible next year and if they don't get rid of him between now and next season, he'll probably earn the last spot on the roster by default.

He won't be back in the AHL after this year unless he passes through unclaimed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
