Lucas Condotta sent to Laval

Crédit:

Montreal is on the move.

The Canadiens have announced that Lucas Condotta has been sent back to the Laval Rocket. He was recalled late Saturday night when it was unclear whether Josh Anderson was okay.

But right now, Condotta was too much.

The Rocket captain didn’t play yesterday: he was there only when needed. And in the end, the Canadiens didn’t need him, as we can clearly see.

At least he’ll have received an NHL paycheck this weekend.

Since the Habs have at least 12 healthy forwards and the club isn’t even playing tonight, there was no point in keeping Condotta up. So he’s back with the Laval Rocket.

We say 12 forwards, but it will also be interesting to see what awaits Juraj Slafkovsky. After all, it’s been about a week since his injury, and the Habs are due to update his file shortly.

As the club is off today, I expect that to happen tomorrow.

As for the Rocket, they’ll be in action in two days at Place Bell. I’m expecting Condotta to be in uniform, so he won’t have missed any of his team’s games, having played on Saturday with the Habs’ club-school.

Overtime

– He’s not expected back in a year.

– Really?

– A name to watch.
