Habs Daily Recap: April 5th

The Canadiens had the day off on Friday before their huge tilt against the Bruins Saturday night. Montreal will be looking to widen the gap between the two clubs in the standings as Boston is just one point behind with a game in hand. It is likely that the Habs will go with the same line up as Thursday night’s win over the Jets. Perhaps Therrien will put in Dumont but, with the play of the fourth line, I see him standing pat. The only way the line up changes is if someone is ill, gets injured in morning skate or Plekanec can somehow play following his groin injury suffered on Wednesday.

News broke out regarding prospect Sebastian Collberg. According to Bodin, Collberg is headed to Montreal to be looked at for his concussion symptoms. If he is cleared, he should be signing an Amateur Tryout contract to play a few games with the Hamilton Bulldogs before their season is complete. Sebastian did sign an extension with Frolunda for next year so we will have to wait on seeing the kid full-time in North America.

The Bulldogs were in action against the Rampage where they finished off the night with a win. Charles Hudon and Danny Kristo made their professional debuts as well. Hudon put two shots on goal while Kristo recorded his first point (an assist), one shot and had a +1 rating. Nokelainen, Holland, Belzile and Beaulieu (shorthanded) would score for the Bulldogs to take a 4-2 victory. Mayer picked up the win and first star of the match.

Prospect Update:

Corbin had a -3 rating against Alaska
