It is interesting how they never break the Alzner - Brook pair.

 

They did that a lot last year with Alzner-Fleury.  The youngster gets a safe veteran to help navigate his first go-round in the AHL.  It's a good idea.

I do believe that's intended to be for Brook's benefit.

I read about that on this foru before. I find it interesting that they have gone so long without breaking them up, despite call-ups and injuries. It is like if they have asked Alzner to be like a personal coach/mentor to Brook and Fleury before that. Brook has higher "draft pedigree": Brook was #56 in 2017, while Fleury was #87 in 2017.

 

If Brook turn out to be as good as Fleury, the CH will have excellent RDs for years to come.

Garrett Mitchell (an ECHL player on a PTO) is in tonight with Hayden Verbeek being a healthy scratch.  If that doesn't say something about how quickly Verbeek has gone from a semi-interesting prospect to a complete non-factor, I don't know what will.

 

1-0 Laval in the 1st - Evans with the goal.
