24 points in 17 games for Sean Farrell: it’s day and night with his start to the season

The Canadian has many promising prospects to watch, from Ivan Demidov in the KHL to Michael Hage and Jacob Fowler in the NCAA, including of course the Laval Rocket.

And well you can add a name to your watchlist: Sean Farrell.

Since the beginning of February, the 23-year-old forward has obtained 24 points in his last 17 games.

He has also amassed two points in his last three games, helping the Rocket win their two games over the weekend against their division rival: the Utica Comets.

This is a complete turnaround from the start of his season, when the American player had only two small points after 22 games.

He scored his first goal on December 14 and was removed from the lineup a few times. Yesterday, his two goals were his 14th and 15th of the campaign.

We don’t know what has changed for the forward, but he was part of the topics on The Sick Podcast with Grant McCagg and Shayne Gaumond.

McCagg even believes that Farrell could help the second wave of the power play of the Canadiens. Personally, I would wait before recalling him and let him have the chance to continue developing in Laval.

Especially since Farrell is at the heart of the Rocket’s recent successes, which currently occupies the first rank of the American League.

The Canadiens’ prospect is taking advantage of his presence on a line with two veterans, playing with Alex Barré-Boulet and Laurent Dauphin, who are both having good seasons with 50 and 43 points so far, respectively.

This is a nice progression for Farrell, who was drafted by the Canadiens in the 4th round, 124th overall, in the 2020 draft. His development has been a bit longer, as is often the case with players who go through the university circuits.

Will this recent explosion continue for the young player, and will he be able to bring this level of play to the Canadiens’ next training camp?

Because, although he played six games with the Canadiens during the 2022-23 season, scoring a goal in the process, Farrell had been quite discreet during the team’s last camp last fall.

In a hurry

– A helping hand from the Oilers!

– 25th goal of Connor McDavid.

– Ouch!

– The brackets are announced.

– End of the Cavaliers’ winning streak.
