For arguably the first time all season, the Laval Rocket are mired in a bit of a slump, having dropped three out of their previous four games entering Friday night. They’ve played extremely well during that stretch, an impressive feat given the amount of players that were missing from their lineup since the beginning of the month. Last night, he team welcomed Xavier Ouellet, Alex Belzile, Cayden Primeau, and Jesse Ylönen back to the lineup against the Toronto Marlies.
This allowed Joël Bouchard a chance to ice a full lineup, with the exception of Josh Brook remaining on the wing due to his strong play there the last few games. Primeau got the nod as the starter after a tough showing in his last two NHL starts with the Canadiens.

Thornton making jumbo impression on Marner
New Maple Leafs forward Joe Thornton, considered one of the greatest playmakers in NHL history, appears poised to have a significant impact on how new linemate Mitch Marner transforms into more of a shooter this season, Mark Masters writes.
TSN Toronto Reporter Mark Masters reports on the Maple Leafs, who practised at the Ford Performance Centre on Monday.
The line of Joe Thornton, Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner generated a couple goals on Saturday night and, even though it was just an intra-squad scrimmage, they all wore wide smiles during the group hugs. Following the game, Matthews and Marner, both 23-years-old, each posted a picture of the first celebratory moment as an Instagram story.
