Rocket: Mailloux makes his presence felt upon his return

With the recall of Logan Mailloux on October 18, questions remained about the reaction of the team led by Pascal Vincent. After five games without a defeat, we can safely say that the absence of the great defender did not shake the group too much, even if he was, before his departure, the best scorer on the blue line of the team with four points in two duels.

However, it is not because the Rocket has managed to maintain a winning record that the return of the 21-year-old would not be well received by the Montreal Canadiens farm club. Although he is not yet ready to join the big club’s roster permanently, he is undoubtedly one of the best players in the American Hockey League (AHL).

During his first game back with Laval, Friday against the Providence Bruins, the 2021 first-round pick wasted no time in getting noticed. In fact, after less than eight minutes of play in the first period, the 6-foot-3 defenseman was complicit in Jared Davidson’s power play goal, giving the Rocket a 1-0 lead. This goal remains the only one scored during the first engagement.

Before leaving for the metropolis, Logan Mailloux had already had the opportunity to compete against the Providence Bruins. During this clash, he collected four points, the only ones of his 2024-2025 season. He now has five points, all acquired against the Rhode Island team.
