The misfortune of one person makes the happiness of others. Right?
Since striker Emil Heineman was hit by a car on Monday, it is Michael Pezzetta who has the opportunity to replace him in Martin St-Louis’ lineup. But we know what the problem is with the Pezz.
He may be a good teammate, as Martin St-Louis said… But we’re still talking about a guy who hurts the Canadian when he’s on the ice. This is why in January, in six matches, the striker had an average playing time of 4:17 per match. It’s not much.
We could have expected to see the Canadian recall a player from Laval for yesterday’s match in Dallas, but he did not do so.
The strategy paid off since CH went for a big victory against the Stars. We can say thank you to Jakub Dobes, by the way.
On the other hand, the CH will return to the Bell Center tomorrow for its match against the Leafs and we can expect the club to make a recall. Because playing with 11 (and a half) attackers and six defenders is not ideal.
What you need to know in all this is that the Canadian will not perform a recall today according to what Anthony Marcotte reported on Twitter.
The Rocket is in action tonight in Utica:
It’s rare to see the Canadian and the Rocket playing at the same time at home, but that will be the case on Saturday.
The Canadian’s school club will host the Utica Comets in the second game of a series of two (in as many days).
Note also that for this evening, Cayden Primeau will defend the Rocket’s cage:
-There are some interesting names in Laval for a reminder.
And from the perspective of replacing a guy on the 4th line, there are above all three logical candidates in my opinion:
- Luke Cloth
- Jared Davidson
- Lucas Condotta
I expect it to be Condotta because he knows the NHL. He played seven games with the big club this season and he could easily settle on the team’s 4th line because he also knows Martin St-Louis’ system.
But on a personal level, I’d really like to see Davidson get a chance to shine. He is having a good campaign so far and he has characteristics in his game (fiery, intensity) that could help the Canadian.
We can also say the same thing about big Tuch, basically…
All this to say that it remains to be seen, but we should really expect to see the Canadian perform an encore during the day tomorrow.
In burst
– Notice to interested parties:
– Good choices!
– Minor signing in Columbus. Another defender!
– The Avalanche says no.
